Yes, it is frustrating and I agree, this isn’t the full story. I didn’t expect to hear back at all but was surprised to get this answer so I thought I’d share.
I’m sorry you’re earnings have dropped, I’m hovering around the 100 a month level with fewer followers and I spent most of my day writing, editing, and supporting and promoting other writers. Not a money maker.
I am also diversifying my platforms. All my eggs in one basket isn’t a good strategy in any endeavor.
Thanks for reading and commenting. It gives the readers a larger picture when writers speak out.
