RE: Success porn: A Motivational Scam
This is a truly thought-provoking post that I found thanks to @denmarkguy. I have my summers off and was able to devote so much more time to this platform than I am now that I am back to working again. I have decided that my new game plan is to try and post at least once a week and try to read and respond to the work of others at least two or three other days a week. Im playing the long game, and I want to add value to the community. Sure, I could probably post junk every day, but I've decided I'd rather spend time on one solid piece and then support the work of others with my remaining time. Am I going to get rich doing that? Well, I haven't so far! But it's what feels right to me. In the meantime, I have been looking for a second job that I can do from home to help support my family. For me, I see this platform as a long-term investment rather than the lottery. Thank you for your post! I want to try and support others even more than I have been doing now.
If they are going to be longer posts, split them into parts and post them with links to each other. Spread the posting time out a little though. Perhaps a day apart is good.
I generally write and immediately post when finished but I have an ongoing draft of many pieces at all times. I tend to think a lot these days. This does take a lot of my time though which is something I have to consider for my business and family time also.
I am not an investing expert but, if you are going to get a second job and you do believe in a crypto future. Put a little of the money you can spare (and lose) into a few different well researched coins. There are plenty of decent blogs here to help. the reason is that 10 dollars earned outside is going to depreciate in value in the coming years or stay stagnant whereas 10 dollars no in something like BTC has a good chance of increasing.
For me at the moment, I work really hard in the evenings after my daughter goes to bed to make this my side job as I really enjoy the writing and the thinking it takes plus, it makes me at least feel I am helping others.
Good luck.
Those are all amazing points to consider, and I will definitely take them to heart and see what I can put into practice to better my blog and my future. Thank you for all the tips!! Very greatly appreciated.
