As content creators we feel tired sometimes and not willing to create conent.
That can be due to a lot of situations in our lifes and maybe even related to our health.
I see more and more regular steemians feeling demotivated and tired from creating content.
I feel that most of us who are creating content daily on steem, are just having a crisis now..
It can be related not only to the price, but to a lot of updates that we are having and we will have in the future. Maybe the price is what made the community wake up to do so many things on steem now and that's a positive side. ☺
Do you feel having that crisis in creativity ? Maybe you created content almost about everything and you think that there is nothing more to create about ? Or you you are just lacking interaction with your posts ?
Or maybe you are experiencing all that ?
Let me try to count the things that can help you in such situation.
1. Taking a break :
I think taking a break may really help you to find more energy, more ideas and time to start creating again. As steemian, you can take a break even from curating, by upvoting the maximum posts that you can and you can even
drain your voting power to the number of days that you want to take a break for. You can always check how many days left to be full here : steemnow.com/@yoursteemname.
Or if you are really feeling bad, so just forget about everything and just take your break. Go to a walk, to a long travel, to an other town, visit family or friends. Just take a vocation and forget about everything.
The number of days you want to take a break can be different, deneding on your situation in your life. Some people will need just a few days to be cool again, some need a week, or even a few maybe to clean their minds and comeback with more enthusiasm.
So, taking a break can be good not only for your creation, it can be good as well for your health and you will feel much better after a while and you will be more effective that way.
2. Changing your niche :
Maybe you choosed the wrong niche the first time when you start your creative journey ? Maybe the topics you are creating about are not satisfying your audiance ? Or you just need to add something new to that ?
Sometimes creating is like a gift. You may given that from your childhood and you may just improving that over the time. But what if you are not gifted that and all you're sharing is just your experience from life ? What if your gift is not in the scope you're exploring ? Maybe you need to create about something else ?
Even if you don't know the answer to all those questions, you still can try something new. It's always nice to find more audiance and to learn about something new.
3. Improving the format :
An other thing I want to add is improving the format that you use to expose your content.
Maybe you need to use better quality pictures ? Maybe you are not using any clickbaits to attract more content consumers ? Maybe you are not changing anything in your content and the format that you use is not that interesting ?
I remember meeting @steemcafe and the thing that he said still in my mind. He said that ''The content shouldn't be boring''. And that's really correct. What if the content is already out of trending but you still creating about that ?
I think you can make any kind of content more interesting if you just add it a bit of creativity. Just try to learn more about editing. Change maybe your way of writing or recording. Try new style. Try to learn from other creators and do like them or even better.
You will always find ways to improve your content and to expose it in a cool way.
4. Criticize yourself :
Of course when we create things, we like to see a positive feedback about it. But what if your audiance is just not telling you what's wrong and they are just trying to be positive about things ? What if you didn't find yet who will tell you the truth about your content ?
So, you will have in this situation to criticize yourself. Imagine that the content you created is not created by you. Look at it from the other side. Do you really like your content ? Do you really don't see any issue in it ? Don't you think that it should be improved ?
If the answer is obvious and you see something wrong, so just change that. Maybe that was the problem all the time, but not people who are not interacting with your content. It's easy to blame others but not ourselves.
5. Investing in the right place :
I consider investors not only those who are investing their money, but time is also a kind of investment.. So, this part is for those investors who are creating conent as well.
In steem blockchain we have a lot of applications and communities and tribes now. Maybe you are using the wrong application ? Or you are active in the wrong community ? Or you joined the wrong tribe ?
In this case you will have to think about the place you are creating in. You may just have to try to invest or creating in something new. Even without chaging your content at all, you may just didn't find your audience yet. There is always a solution to any problem.
There could be more reasons of experiencing crisis in your creativity, try to find them.
Those are my tips to those who are feeling demotivated or who are just learning about creating content. That could be also to avoid the crisis in your creative journey.
Enjoy being a steemian. ☺
