Wow, that's a hell of a post, and you deserve every penny you earned. Very nice! When I started I did a couple post that rivaled something like this. It blew up for like 60 dollars, not 190 like here! But I was all excited, I then did another post of the same quality.......$3.50, and it took me all afternoon to put together. I was bummed out. One time I copied and pasted a like to another website about somethng in Ecuador. Took me 5 minutes, blew up for 70 dollars! I learned to find a middle ground and build connections like you have with me. You can see how my post all earna similar amount with votes from the same people mostly works for me!
I bet this post took you some time. I hope you have better luck than me if you keep pumping out this quality work. You'll breeze past me in no time if this becomes a norm for you. Congratulations!
Real Life Captured series seems like a great way to do this. Building up a base of regular readers and upvoters like you have is also my goal and your support is a great start!I was very lucky to have this post supported up by @curie. I put about 6 hours of work into it, not including the time I needed for editing the photos in the first place. It would really not pay off to spend so much time for a 2$ post that is viewed by 10 people. Since @curie won't support me for every post I make (if for any other than this one!) I also have to think about doing post that take less time to create, but still offer a certain amount of quality; Your
This sounds like a great plan. I have already published two posts about Cuba, so I might just name the third post Two faces of a city #3. Numbered themes also seem like a great way to bring consistency into the Blog and attract regular readers. Thanks for the tip!
I am about to finish my next post about Cuba and it has 13 photos and about 1.300 words. Also, the post is pretty much about New Year's Eve, so it might not work to publish a second part at a later date.
Would you still recommend splitting it into two posts?
So I decided to publish the full post now, I just hope I didn't just waste New Year on a post worth only a few cents in the end! Well, at least it is shorter than this post about Trinidad..
Since I have started my theme Two Faces of a City with a lot of information and photos on my first two posts, I will keep doing this for this theme, but I will try splitting my next post in two parts anyways.
Also, I will soon be starting with other numbered themes that will take less time to create.
