I watch things closely TzeLin. I run long term analysis on many factors, and no, there’s no recent drop. What has happened since the end of Sept, there is no consistency. One reader can read a full story of mine and I can get paid $4 just for that one read and another will read the same and it will lay 0.01 cent. Here’s what I think has been the kicker that took me a long time to accept: some writers here read a lot. When they fully read you, there’s not much to contribute to you because they read perhaps over 30-50 articles in a day. From the latest stats update I’ve seen, I don’t see a change for you to be concerned about.
Key as always:
Write quality over quantity
Encourage and keep doing your authentic engagement
Eventually , one learns to let it go. You’ve done a fantastic job…I hope you’ll keep finding it rewarding! Happy holidays!
