You don't have to write a self-improvement

I've been on this platform for almost a year and my trip here has been fun so far. My writing has improved and I have connected with many young writers like me.

You don't have to be on this platform for a long time to see what the general theme is. Most people write about one of two things:

Make money on this platform

Self-improvement (in every form)

Many of us are drawn to this idea of ​​being able to market as a writer. It is said that no one will read us unless our article brings direct value to our readers. The idea of ​​not looking at our article is scary. And that's why many of us like to write what we don't like to get opinions and make a lot of money.

I've even heard that the platform's top writers discourage those who don't write that way. They tell you that your audience is important, and they don't want to read stories that don't add value to their lives.

But I would like to point out that your audience is not that strict. In fact, I think the selfimprovement craze on this platform is driven by top writers who have become successful doing this. But I doubt every writer on this platform only wants to write selfimprovement.

Maybe much of the readers here are interested in selfimprovement anyways, and that is why those articles get more views. Nevertheless, I do not believe that writers should be concerned with this.

In this article, I suggest that writing selfimprovement is not the only way to become successful. But more importantly, I would like to provide a better alternative than writing self-improvement. And that's the sentence you love.

Self-improvement and decline in value

I recently came across some authors complaining about the repeated articles here. I don't know if it's the algorithm or the author who wrote something similar. It's probably both bits. Still, self-improvement is beginning to lose value on this platform. Yes, it still works, but if you want to increase your loyal audience, it's a really difficult place to start self-improvement.

In reality, self-improvement is becoming a very saturated market. If everyone is an expert in giving life advice, what's the difference?

You may get more views on your self-improvement article, but I thought the goal was to build a community around your writing. And it takes more than a view. This requires consistency, quality, and strangely personality.

Items like:

"Five ways to get out of bed?"

"10 Ways to Improve Productivity"

Jump to you and usually get quite a few views. However, during my year I tried to write an article like this, but the read rate is low. Readers are tired of seeing the same and clicking on them because of their temptation.

I love self-help articles and still write some myself, but you can be a successful writer without writing them. Many of the writers I admire have built communities around topics such as blockchain, business, and science. I also noticed on YouTube that my favorite creator doesn't have a personal development channel. Instead, they have a channel to what they are interested in, and as a result, become an authority on the subject.

Since everyone is doing it, self-improvement begins to lose value. There is no voice of authority. Instead, it's a lot of noise that you should avoid. Unless you love it, of course.

Please write what you like

Not all writers are born as leaders in self-improvement. Few people are good at breaking bad habits and becoming the "best self." We are all human beings, and too much self-improvement can lead us away from ourselves.
