RE: An attractive future with an ugly present

in #steem6 years ago

“It depends” (possibly the ultimate weasel phrase 🤣). Same as here you would probably have been fine if you’d been there at the beginning and then you wouldn’t have liked it when the “build your brand” bollocks started up as “everyone” suddenly wanted to get rich by writing a blog and later making YouTube videos. Can’t tell you how much work as I didn’t look into that too much as I have absolutely loathed ads from the outset and absolutely will not under any circumstances put them on anything I build (unless it was for a client but fortunately there was only one and I did that with extreme prejudice and much merciless teasing of the guy I was working with whose job it was to make the ads I hated so much) and therein lay my inevitable downfall 😆

I did know people in the past who did alright pretty much doing what you’re doing here now, but have long since lost track of them so no idea how they’re doing now.

Things like Patreon and ko-fi have been amazing in that regard as while they’re still a ridiculous amount of busy work (ie crap you “have” to do if you want to “succeed” but isn’t work on whatever it is you actually want to be working on) you’re no longer limited by what’s considered “advertiser friendly”. Things like steem seems to be the next logical step to me but what do I know 🤣

I have no experience with Udemy so I’ll have to take your word for it 😄
