I Lost All Of My Subscribers, Could This Be The End?”

For anyone that's keeping up with me, you will notice that lately I've been too focused on my subscriber count than the content itself.. but I know our artistic integrity matters a lot, and I think that's not a very good head space to be in if I want to be a good writer. It shouldn't dictate your self-worth as a person because this will reflect itself in your confidence levels.

This is something that I've noticed, I feel like my confidence level has diminished quite a bit recently because I've fallen into the lack mindset. Now part of that is me not being as disciplined as I once was and me just generally not being on my purpose and being on my grind as much as I know I can be.

But at the same time, I do feel that part that comes from a place of me not having self-worth and my actions reflects that lack of self worth from within.. For a while my goal was to hit 500 subscribers by January this year, now looking back at it this goal was ego oriented coz I wanted to fulfill an egoic desire if that's the right choice of words. 500 subs does not mean anything, the only difference between 50 subs and 500 subs is that one extra zero at the end.. Literally the only difference and i know this from experience.

No amount of subscribers will be enough if thats what you want and this is what I've realised as I climbed up the rings. My end goal should be creating my best contents as I can on a day-to-day basis. If I can use the process of worrying to create something it will make a lot more meaning.. So sometimes I feel like I've lost you all and I need to redirect back to the main topic and to the main purpose. It may take a while to, I still haven't completely give way I’m still trying to tell myself the truth and I hope it doesn’t take too long for me to get the clear picture..

A lot of social media is a lot the same as well, I mean we know the numbers dictates everything. It's just twisted and not good mentally to place your self-worth into numbers. I do appreciate where I've gotten to and this was a to tell you how I feel and sort of pranked you into seeing this, on a short amount of time this is all a shock to me and I love you all so much. But in terms of my mindset, I understand that those numbers shouldn't represent the success but a reflection of the hard work and the mindset we build as we grow..

We all know the metric for success is about view, the truth of it all is when you keep creating a beautiful content.. views follows and this is something I've learnt on my journey but you and I must leave all form of ego aside and focus on being us and creating the best and be happy in the moment.. Now no matter the number I have it keeps becoming an endless float, but when I enjoy the content and be me and enjoying the process and moment becoming my best self for me and for evey one of my friends that's when the numbers follows..

Why I use that term lost all?" I kept chasing the ones ahead and then neglected the family I have, I want to be better and also strive to be better.. There’s a difference between being satisfied with where you are and following a path that ain’t worth it.. I failed to understand that we don’t bring subscribers and friends, what we do and how well we do them and the love we have doing them, draws a lot in. And Guess what happens!! They stay and never leave..

We must always be cautious of this, sometimes pride set in and we feel we desire everyone’s attention.. I felt this way and it doesn’t portray good behavior even as a writer, there’s no limit to growth and as we grow we attract people who are willing to grow with us..

Happy Friday to you all..

Even though most people say subscriber count doesn't matter, I think they actually do. Because the number of subscribers affects the number of reads of the articles. Of course, content is important, but one of the things that will make content good is the number of subscribers and the number of visits to the content. If you're good, more people will read, like, and subscribe. This thought may have prevailed in all of us.

You are right about, I don’t discard subs away from the context… it matters as well, good content equals the subscribers and viewers.. we must not neglect the fact that hard work covers some part of this as well, the constant drive to want a particular number of subs is the actual problem..

Success can't be determined by the number of subscribers. As long as you are happy as long as you do what you want to do. Don't work for subscribers, it will be stressful, too much pressure. Just be passionate and enjoy. I understand you, I've been there. 😊

Its not bad to want to grow your subscribers count, I want that too. But I don't focus so much on it happening, I just believe in writing good articles and I'm positive people attracted to this would definitely click on subscribe. Bottom line is enjoy your time here on read and the rest will fall in place. At least that's what I do now.

It's better to have few supporters who will stay buy you through thick and thin than having many dead subscribers. Most of those with large subscribers are at times tired because that's more responsibility, time and money. Every comments on their article has to be tipped. And every once in a while they will have to visit their articles.

“It's better to have few supporters who will stay buy you through thick and thin” Having subs who will like and love your one is the main goal, but you are absolutely right about having more responsibilities with more subscribers and the tipping aspect too.. Even with all of that there is a type of feeling that comes with the joy of having a huge number of subs.. it’s in two ways though, the best way is to be comfortable with where we are and what we’ve achieved so far.
