Earn by Engaging

I came across this hive community called #bloom and it looks pretty cool.
The idea is that not all of us are going to make big bucks as a content creator.
Truth.
#

There are thousands of content creators on hive writing good stuff, but they get lost in the sauce
There are so many accounts and nobody comes looking for you, nobody will find you.

But Bloom wants you to copy there strategy of going out and engaging people on their content, comments, upvotes, tweet links to other peoples content, and earn small, but reliable earnings on these upvotes, and these comments.

Time is money

If we are honest, creating content is hard, if done well, an the rewards are rarely approaching minimum wage.
I mean how many spend 1-2 hours on a post and get 2 dollars on a good day?
I think the strategy makes time and money sense.
I am unsure people are ready for such a level of honesty.
I have read @shortsegments posts and sometimes I think he is to honest, sugar coat it a little, or hide some facts, just don't give people the truth, because they cant handle the truth.
#

That being said, I admire that in his usual fashion @shortsegments put his money where his mouth is
Yes he invested his own money and is giving up curation income to show people how this can work.
I am happy to see this, because I plan to take advantage of this opportunity, because thats who I am, I can handle the truth.
I realize I am not a top ten author and it would take time and money to get there in a few years.
But making friend, making people feel good by reading their posts, commenting and getting paid for doing it...Sign Me Up.

Easy money and easy friendships.
I mean the hardest thing to handle as a content producer is zero comments, not zero upvotes.
When you work hard on a post you want someone to read it.

Thank Goodness I have been poor, and my focus is food, shelter and dental care. Friendships are in the nice to have category, although there is definitely power in numbers when your homeless.

I decided to write this becaiuse I like @shortsegments and although I have a very small readership, I will share this good thing with them, and it's then up to them to hop on it or not...
