• The world is filled with consumers and the thing we consume the most of is social media content.
• I guess this is why everyone dreams of being a well paid content creator and living the easy life.
• Am I right?
• But the problem is being a good content creator is not easy; it takes talent, hardwork, consistency and ignoring or sometimes neglecting other things in your life.
• The other problem is that honestly there are not that many talented and entertaining content creators.
• While most people think their content is good, some even think their content is great. I think the truth be told most of it is average and some below average.

• Sorry, that sounds harsh, but sometimes the truth is a bitter pill.
• The truth is many people who join platforms hoping to become well paid content creators quit within a few months of joining a platform like Hive or Inleo.

Why?

• They may be disappointed at the amount they earn.
• They maybe disappointed at how many people upvote their posts.
• They maybe disappointed at how many people read their content.
• They may be disappointed by how many comments they receive.
• Basically it's hard to build a good following on Hive when your new and many people find this out and leave.

Being a content creator isn't that easy, but there is an alternative

• Think about how many people can write well written, researched and thoughtful long form content? Not many.
• And how many can write fun engaging short form content? Perhaps more, but still not a lot.
• But how many can read content and enjoy images? A bunch!
• So what if instead of recruiting people to be content creators, we recruited them to be content consumers?
• Hmmmm ... imagine this...

Wanted: Content Consumers.

• This platform needs people to read and view various types of content, leave comments and get paid.
• You get paid when your comments are upvoted, so leave valuable comments.
• This is remote work, beach attire or pajamas are acceptable.
• You can work at your own pace and get paid for the work you do, and if you work more you get paid more, work less, get paid less.
• What if your In-laws visit ? No problem, take a few days off or shift your work to the later hours.
• Benefits: you can't get fired.
• Growing business
• Payment is in tokens which should appreciate in value over time.
• Opportunity to invest in your business to create a second and third stream of income, all passive.

How does this work?

• You join the platform through this Link
• You learn more about this platform at this Link
• You start consuming content and writing comments.
• TAG your comments #consume
• The comments should do any of the following:

Ask questions about the post..

... or comment why you agree with something in the post ..

.. or you learned something new..

.. or something else you find important , interesting ..

.. or something which made you feel emotion.

• Basically engagement which suggests you read the post and wish to give the author feedback.
• TAG your comments #consume
• That's it, thats the job.

We are all consumers

• I think we all consume, so it is not a difficult next step to comment, connect and curate. Along with Upvote, Tweet and Earn.
• I think authors love feedback, when it is polite and especially when it is positive.
• And this is a place for the exchange of ideas. So we should engage politely and respectfully with people even when we don't agree with them. Who knows, we might learn something.

• The End.
