Great observations, Marcus. I receive so many messages like those daily with conflicting advice. Some people with very little experience on writing platforms make bold statements and give false hopes. There are even claims that if you write xyz type content on Medium or News Break you can earn X amount of income. This is totally incorrect based on my systematic observations for several years. Even if a writer write masterpiece and if the content does not resonate with the platform curators or distribution algorithms hardly anyone will have a chance to see it. Outsourcing sounds so easy and lucrative but in reality it is not and is very risky. However it is useful to get writing lessons to learn the craft for aspiring writers and it is useful for freelancers to scale their services and become entrepreneurs. But these things require a lot of dedication and hard work. Thank you for sharing your valuable perspectives.
