RE: The Trouble with Writing "Long Form" Posts...
I try to do a little of a lot. I tossed out some @zappl posts for a while and got some really excellent engagement, but I don't like that you can't create titles on Zappl any more. I have done a couple of Steepshot photo posts... they have't done much, but I haven't given them that much of a chance.
I generally don't do video because I generally don't watch video unless it's music or a travelogue. Listening to someone drone on into a mic is just not my gig... besides, I can speed dread about 5x faster than someone can talk and I just don't have that much time on my hands.
Besides, I just enjoy writing... even if there are ways I could get better rewards doing something else. Which I guess just goes to show that I am still more of a blogger than a profiteer.
