I think you're generalising again. Growing audiences is a skill. Some people are better at it than others.It just takes way too long to get anywhere with content.
Be careful of these limiting beliefs @MTF.content is just too competitive of a game. Ads are, too.
Yep. Lots of people don't value their time.But at least you aren't competing with millions of people who value their time at $1 per hour. These people would rather write content and expect 100 visitors over the next six months than pay $50 for an ad and get them all to the website on the same day.
Whenever I feel I'm on a treadmill I step off immediately.the content treadmill is something I despise
Ah. That's interesting. It makes sense to build a business around your skills and motivations though, so how can you still lean into it?I look at each business as an extension of MY skills instead of building it from the problem of the customer (and content isn't always the right way to solve it).
Feel free to post an example of something you might consider. I'll reply with how I'd approach it.That's something that I want to do going forward. I understand the benefits of content marketing as a long-term play but now I want to focus on testing things fast.
