It has been so long since I posted here, on WordPress. My attentions have been elsewhere, on Steemit. This is a platform I highly recommend, but with a few caveats. Don’t expect to get rich quickly, or get rich at all. You may make money. Maybe a lot of money, but if that is your prime motivation, disappointment is likely to be the outcome.
I’ve been posting on Steemit for ten months. It is a rather absorbing enterprise. One of the chief advantages, for a writer, is that there is no boundary. Whatever catches your interest may be material for a blog.
Over the last months I have written stories. I’ve written on Chinese art, ants, land use in India, the Guinea worm, cryptocurrency…whatever subject caught my interest. All these blogs had one thing in common–I worked hard on them. I didn’t cheat the reader. Sometimes the ‘payout’ was paltry. That has not been my standard for success. My standard, every writer’s standard has to be, I think, did I give my all? Did I shortchange the reader?
If you do join Steemit, I recommend checking out some of the communities that may coincide with your interests. There are a few science-oriented communities, creative writing communities, communities dedicated to blogs in different languages. Take your time looking around. Dip your toe in one place or another. Soon you’ll find several that match your inclinations.
So, I’m recommending to everyone who likes to write: check out Steemit. After a few months, if you produce good material, you’ll start to attract attention. You’ll get feedback. You’ll have an audience.
And, there is always the chance that you will actually make some money.
