"Why my amazing post received just a few cents?!" - Social Media for Dummies ;)

"Why my amazing post received just a few views and some cents? Is it worth spending hours in creating good contents for such a poor feedback?"

I'm going to reveal a secret to you about that ;)

(Well, probably it's just a bunch of the obvious)

What would you think of a writer that spends years writing a great novel, then puts it in a bottle and throw it in the sea? And  then he also complains about no one reading it or publishing it.

Yes, right, that writer seems a little dumb. How can he be a writer and not know how things work?

Well - here is the big secret! -

 when someone writes a great article and just posts it on a social media, he's doing the same of the dumb writer.

In the past century, and before it, your creative content had its paths to gain visibility and give feedbacks, and you have to use those paths. In the social media world it is different. You need to build a network, to interact with other people, to be... social. ;) (No, it doesn't mean commenting like "Nice!" or "Please read my blog!" or "I upvoted you <wink!>")

Publishing a content and just wait to get feedbacks is senseless. It is like the Invisible Man stands in a corner waiting for someone that talks to him.

So, when you finished writing your amazing content, you are just half the battle (unless you have already a network and a reputation).

And yes, if you are not going to finish the job interacting with other people and creating a network, then writing and posting your amazing content was a waste of time.

You're welcome ;)

(Disclaimer: I'm not saying that it always works this way, on Steemit or other social media; nor that doing all the job will give you positive feedbacks for sure.)
