So many truths here. This one should be pinned especially for newcomers on the blockchain.
Consistent earnings come from consistency. If you are struggling to post something interesting and well put together consistently, you are unlikely ever going to be a consistent earner on Hive. This is a direct reflection on you.
Having said that, it is not consistent for a week or month, it is consistent for a year or two, maybe more. You will likely earn a bit along the way, but if you are consistently taking it out, you will also be shooting yourself in the support foot, as most staked users don't want to support people, who re unwilling to support others in the network.
Especially there two paragraphs.
Speaking from experience, not being a native english speaker sometimes disrupts the writing flow. But writing about something we like and focusing on the sharing and not on the earning does make the process easy, at least for me.
Great writing as usual. Cheers! !BEER
This is why the people who are aiming for upvotes from various topic groups rarely last, because they are writing for the "wrong reasons" from an interest perspective, so it comes across as inauthentic and, they also don't enjoy the process of it. It is like working at McDonald's - not fulfilling for most people.
