Do you just want to post, repost, like, quote, and comment all the time? Everyday?

Or do you want to share what you're passionate about, connect with people who LOVE it, and make a bag at the same time?

Because if you love it, you actually can do that.

Lots of people are.

A lot of people are reinspired to write lately.

Remember, as an artist you always have control.

You can independently publish and you can leave the big bad billionaires out of it.

Answer Questions Clearly.

People want to find what they need fast.

If your goal is SEO, don’t fill your copy with useless fluff.

Just tell people what they need to know and direct them to your services/solutions.
The Big SEO Fix
People often ask me "how do I do SEO?" And the simple answer is write content often.

And then my question for "polite" people is why doesnt your time matter to you more?

Why do you value being polite more than you value the finite moments of your own life?

And here's where it gets sticky - bc social contracts are built on tit for tat right.

People are only polite so that they'll

I don't see the point in being polite either.

I don't think people understand just how much I actually hate talking in circles.

I can talk for hours if we're uncovering new avenues, or dissecting concepts.

But did you know most people go in loops?

Nothing makes me want to shoot myself in the face faster.

Babygirl, you better be serious about your bag, your goals, and your vision for your own future.

If you want it, you have to be willing to show up and put in the work. Excuses will not pay the rent.

I've been guilty of this: repeatedly engaging with people who didn't respect or value me like I had something to prove, and always feeling worse for it after.

If you write or draw or make things you should be posting about your work at least once a day.

And if you want to collaborate or get hired you should be posting about your work excessively

Even if you don't get likes. Here's why:
