Not everyone who has good content is equally good at expressing it. Solution?

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

Why waste good ideas and good potential content when you suck at expressing it? Well, because you have no choice.

This is why I think there should be a feature to split article pay between more than one user.

Once that feature is in place, a marketplace would sprout where those with content ideas could find those who are good at articulating ideas and optimized for Steemit.

See, I am bad at creating Steemit posts. You can see very well for yourself, that this article had way more potential and I completely wasted it and now no one will ever read this and I'm just going to go back to staring at a wall wondering why I live.

Fix that.

all the idea of steemit to write it yourself

Not everyone who has good content is good at expressing it.

you are already connected to those who can help you improve your work. everyday there are posts on how to improve your articles.
this idea may work for to writers of equal skill who want to collaborate on an article. but i can't see writers spending hours on your idea for half the proceeds when they have their own content to create

So there could be an input box to declare what percentage each party receives? Simple. Some great writers could charge 90%, others might charge 5%? Who knows? Let the market decide.

Not with that attitude, negative nancy. Besides even if you did have the idea of the century, who is to say the person writing doesn't take it and cuts you out altogether?

That isn't an issue. Both parties agree before hand and it is recorded on the blockchain.

The solution is original content!!! but you already know that.

You do have a choice: practice. Think of it this way.

If I were to ask you, assuming that you can't play the piano, to sit down at one and play Chopin's Nocturne in C# Minor; or to pick up a guitar and play the solo in Stairway to Heaven having never touched a guitar before, you'd think it unfair.

These people practised the sh*t out of their art-form to become as good as they are, and the same applies to anything you want to be good at. Athletes train at an insane level because if they don't, they'll under perform.

A lot of the top posts I've seen on steemit are from people who have written before, either on a blog or as a profession.

Don't be hard on yourself. Give yourself some time to learn the skill.

Thing is, one can learn by watching what others have done with their idea. Learning always happens with context. As time goes on, you would pick up the skill on your own since naturally you would want 100% of your profits. Or, you could do 80% of the work and get 80% of the profit, but since you're not 100% at your potential you could hire a proof reader and give them 20%.

I do see many people doing combination works and one of them posts it, then the other is given credit in the post. You could find a partner and trade off on posting different things you worked on together.

Hi! This post has a Flesch-Kincaid grade level of 6.3 and reading ease of 84%. This puts the writing level on par with Stephen King and Dan Brown.
