Do you reall need many followers or subscribers?

-

Most people think that having many followers or subscribers helps promote their career but I don't think so.

According to my experiences, having a lot of followers or subscriber is nothing because most of them are following or subscribing me in order to call me to follow or subscribe them back - not because they like my channel.

Here are the real examples.

1. I had a book publishing house. I created its Facebook page. There were more than 500 followers.

Later on I published my first book with about 500 copies. Since it was published 5 years ago, I have sold about 200 copies only.

2. I have a YouTube channel. It has 6k subscribers. When I post a video, I check the view, there are less than 100 views. Furthermore, according to traffic analysis, 70% of viewers are not my subscribers.

In conclusion, having a lot of followers or subscribers does not mean you are successful. So don't try to get them, it wastes your time. Try to make a good content. Though you don't have followers or subscribers, you can still earn even a notice.

What I do to make people who can read and can't read read my writing

T here was one day LinkedIn notified me of the article of a business woman.  I didn't know her until I saw her last name, I checked then I realized she is the sister of Facebook, now Meta's owner.  I followed her but later on I wondered why I became her followers - because I liked, because I wanted to use her to get noticed, or because she gave me inspiration. Neither of them. I decided to unfollow her; I will wait for the day I have a sincere and clear goal to follow her, then I will follow her. Well, before I clicked unfollow, I was inspired by one thing. She had an article and at the bottom there was a video link. As I clicked it, it linked me to a video but it was not new - it was her voice reading that article. During the early days of the pandemic, the schools were closed and studied online. One of my nephews was at kindergarten and because of that, he couldn't read or write.  When I visited him, he liked me to read a book for him. I found he liked readin

-
It is a short story that I had published on February, 01 2019. I hid it, but now I have decided to publish it again. Just to entertain the readers only, because these days, I cannot find a  topic to write; therefore, I check and I think I should show the post that I have hidden.  Please enjoy. written by Chakriya PHOU In a company's room... Interviewer : Hello, welcome to my company. Please show why I should hire you.   Interviewee : Because I have 3 qualifications.   Interviewer : What are they?   Interviewee : First, I speak honestly. Second, I share all knowledge/information. Third, if I do something wrong, I will accept my mistake.   Interviewer : Because of these 3 qualifications, I hope you'll find another job.   Interviewee : Why?   Interviewer : You speak honestly, it means you are not flexible. You share info, it means you cannot be my confidant because you would tell others about my story. You accept your mistake if you do wrong, it means you don't k

One difficulty the online business using Facebook page meets

-

Online business doesn't always go smoothly, it has problems like business on the land. Such as my business. I sell PDF and Ms word books on a Facebook page. Mostly I use a cell phone to operate my shop. With the old platform, I and customers could contact each other fast.  When Facebook changed to Meta and changed its platform, I could not communicate with my customers - especially when they messaged or commented to buy my product, I didn't receive it until half a day later. So I have to use the Meta business app to run my store. However, it doesn't help my business to be better. The app goes down everyday; I have to reinstall it once every two days or I will lose my customers. I cannot choose though it gives me a hard and unhappy time - because Cambodians are fans of Facebook. It's a real example to prove that doing business is not easy and being an online entrepreneur, especially a start-upers, isn't always successful - we need time.
