Hi Calluna. This really could work for anyone in any industry. All you have to do is commit to being a consistent content provider, in which ever format or style that you'd like. Audio, text, video... however you like to communicate with your audience. I definitely could give some tips for a poet. Would you like some?
The consistency is where I really struggle, i currently have good back log of things to share, but i don't create enough new content. I have been trying to find alternative things that I could incorporate to add value to people wanting to support me, but I am still struggling to turn out the content so that is my first hurdle. I often look at some of the old great sci fi writers who started out writing short stories for amazing stories etc and I know I am so lucky to be able to be part of online communities who come together to help each other. Having reflected a bit on some of the things you said, i think there are a few things i could do to try and being to make a living from, and therefore devote more time to, writing stories and poems, but yes please, any tips are always appreciated!!
wonderful stuff. I can totally relate on the "pressure" for us to keep cranking out content. Especially in these times and on-line circumstances. Forgive yourself and be patient. Recently I've found continuing to find new audiences with my best evergreen content a more fruitful strategy.
Ahh that is a very good tip, it often comes up in a business sense you can expand by making new products for your current customers, or by finding new customers for your current product, but I never thought to apply that to myself! I will start trying to be on the lookout for opportunities, and maybe even take the plunge and enter a magazine contest. Thank you very much
