We’re All Slaves To Market Forces and Algorithms

And this is why money making articles will continue to dominate this space.

I just read a well put together rant about those who write about their earnings on this platform.

We all recognize these “money making” articles.

The structure goes thus: I began writing in this space, earning next to nothing and then I started to publish 100 articles and look at my numbers for this month, it is absolutely fucking amazing and I earned $10,000 in November.

To those who aspire to be read by tens, hundreds and quite possibly, thousands of people, seeing these posts is more than likely to engender a degree of inspiration and whisper it gently —jealousy.

Jealousy?

Oh yes, I should know, because I have fallen prey far too many times to count to the green eyed monster, reading people’s write ups about earning great money, here and elsewhere.

Like most, I want to be the one who is read and lauded by thousands of people, whom I will never meet from disparate parts of the world, even though I know deep down that my writing is as average as it gets and you would’t even need to look too closely to pick out the flaws —grammatical or structural.
