I Guess I'm Done
I don't really see the point of continuing to write on this platform. It's brought me almost nothing. I see people who take 5-10 minutes to put something up that isn't even worth much and some of them earn a lot of money. I spend hours, days or even weeks on an article and usually get nothing. It's not worth it.
Good luck.
I empathise with you. Luckily, I have a few followers who are kind enough to give me some support.
I'm happy for you. Unfortunately, I have not had enough support to even earn $.01 on most articles. I joined some groups but I don't understand how to utilize them. It seems like you have to post within them only, but I don't know how to do that. I hope you'll have better luck than I have had over the past 5 years.
Thank you.
Finding support is hard work. :-) You have to make friends, engage and vote for their posts, and hope that people will reciprocate.
I have found that joining groups doesn't mean anything unless you know someone from the group, or you have a post which the group is particularly interested in. And even then, people have to chance upon your post, or it will be lost in the sea of other posts.
Best wishes.
