What reader base can I expect to find if I go on hiatus while the prices are down? I
Wise girl ;)
Besides, where would I go? For me as a writer, this is pretty much an amazing place.
Freedom and feedback, network and a litle bit of income that either helps a touch now or becomes a nest egg later.
but at the same time, if I only see you, the user who makes 20 cents, every six months, what incentive do I have to support you?
People come back expecting that their support is still there but, people move on.
Thank you :)
Precisely. I mean the money is great, I won't lie. Well, the potential money, but what's also super-exciting for me is the feedback. To actually have people react to my writing is an enormous encouragement.
Yes. Many times, I've come across an interesting new user and supported them as much as I could and then they disappeared, coming back some 3 months later and by then, I don't really want to support them anymore....I mean, dude I tried, but what can I say? You left...:/
Some might have legit reasons but the sheer volume of leaver/returners means they can't all be. that is their choice and life though and they must live with the ramifications of action.
Exactly. As long as I'm here, I don't see a point in worrying about others. You don't want to stay, that's fine. It means you would've been a poor addition to the community anyway, because obviously you don't think too highly of it.
