If you are new to blogging or been doing it a long time, it does not matter, we all write bad, meatless posts, especially when we are trying to do it every single day and keep, like me, a streak going of not missing a day since I started here. But you will know when you hit a gem of a post. Not because of the amount of upvotes you get but by the amount of engagement (comments) you get.

This is an interesting thing... Actually, I disagree with this... If I know that I would write a "bad post", I will not do it at all... As it would be a bad image on me, and kind of lying my audience...

and another thing about "Hitting the gem"... there is a problem with that... If someone is posting pics of cats 20 times in a row, and then post something else, 99% of followers will not notice that post at all... Because they have lost hope that they can find something useful from that person... Of course, except if they are cat-lovers... lol... :)

Cheers!

I think I can see both sides here. It's important when you are first starting out to just keep going. Like for myself, I challenged myself to writing a post for 30 days, no matter what just to help build the habit. Some of those posts, looking back, are pretty crap. Others I feel are some really great content. But there comes a point in time where...I can't just keep writing just to say I did it. You should be getting better with each post. There is definitely some "close your eyes and swing for the fences" when it comes to any post we write...but to keep with my baseball metaphors, have a plan when you approach the plate! You'll get much better engagement there.

Did that make sense? hahaha 👑

I think that you were humble in your comment... Maybe you challenged yourself to write a post for 30 days, no matter what... But, if you still remember that, that means that you were aware of everything spoken in here... 🤣 I mean, you knew that you don't want to just publish shitposts, and you had actually tried to deliver value in each of your posts... :) (Making an effort excludes the possibility of creating a shitpost ...lol... just a theory...)

Of course, you have to have a plan... and try to do better in every next one...

btw... I have a feeling that you will have a lot to say in the comment section for my newest post, as you are talking almost the same thing that I have recorded a couple of hours ago... :)
