Contenting is one of the most difficult things, especially when you're trying to be original in selling a unique perspective. I have worked jobs that required uniqueness to sell products or knowledge that are redundant. Firstly, the salaries were not a motivation because they weren't that decent, so what's the incentive to be unique? Nothing
Being unique is something people shouldn't be incentivized to do and this is because our lives, the various forms of knowledge being that are conferred to us might be generic, but the moment we digest them, we're recycling them into something different, from our perspectives, style, experience and modus operandi, irrespective of how we're taught to be objective in our assessment.
It's like being paid to be diverse.
It's already in our DNA
This is to say that our minds are powerful processors. When it comes to creating value in exchange for money, the best way to do it is to mix the knowledge we've garnered over time with our perspective, our experiences, and our stories.
For example, I am a finance creator,* but before now, I have created different forms of content in which I've excelled at, but the truth is what has made me a decent Finance Creator was the unwavering consciousness of the money experiences in my life coupled with contemporary knowledge, I've garnered from education and being self-taught. This wasn't so in the past.
On Hive, everyone knows that plagiarism is frowned upon
.....and even if it isn't, I feel that we're differently gifted so much that even if everyone was doing the same thing, it'll still be possible to see diversity in sameness.
Even If We're Naturals, We Need Nurturing.
I know that when money is at stake a lot of people doubt their ability to replicate value. There are many criminal reasons why people plagiarize, but of them which is quite different, is underestimating what they're capable of doing. In the world at the moment, people are now being paid for what others do not know that they know.
We live in a world where people who created and add usable value are better incentivized. This is to say that life is more rewarding to people who are outrightly innovative to a valuable level.
I've seen people land good jobs because of their different and "out of the box" way of thinking, this isn't to say I'm too surprised because if we're to tap into our capabilities, we'd discover that we can hon our mental capacities to do the unthinkable.
Plagiarism Isn't In Our natur
Thievery is
However, the fact that we can naturally create value, doesn't mean we can do it effortlessly. Exposure is of of the best ways to create knowledgeable experiences. There are things people do on hive that blocks creativity and one of them is to be subconsciously plagiarist in nature.
Over the years I've taken to playing splinterlands and creating photography content, this has fostered me to create extra niches for myself asides from creating finance content. Now playing splinterlands may not be overly rewarding, but I created a niche around it so much that anyone who started reading my splinterlands' posts from day one would've come to know how to play the game to an extent.
The Ability To Teach Is Somewhat Rewardable
This was one of the reasons why I don't check the stats of the investment, whether I'm losing or gaining, or if it's been eventually worth it. The fact that the experience brings me a different expandable knowledge which I've come to monetize for one year is really good enough.
This is the same with creating original Images, or owning original photos, (I'll share some of them here.) It's not just about being able to create these images, it's about them acting as a secondary form of niche which I can explore anytime. It's important to understand that we have to be expandable and this is what creates the needed exposure that's necessary especially in our content-creating journey.
