While I would agree with the large monetization potential on the Internet as a content creator. It takes years for you to even earn something of value in this field. Let alone the amount of effort that it takes to flush out creative and relevant, even harder if you're going for informative content is more than enough to scare a few people away. If you choose to be a content creator on the Internet, do it out of passion and not just because you want money because if you keep chasing the money without proper motivation, you'd find yourself demotivated when you don't earn as much as you would expect.
Sad to say, here in our country, there are a lot of numbers of content creators who jumped in with negative publicity just because "publicity is publicity," and they still create noise and increase the range of the attention they get from people who still get baited with their tactics. Yes, they earn from it, get money from it, and they are recognized now by people with such a "negative image," but this is not sustainable, and it does not continually work overtime. Being a content creator with values and creative juices is not easy.
Yes, there are a lot of opportunities to earn money, but our mindset and perspective drive us whether we will jump in and take a risk for more opportunities or just keep staying in our comfort zones and be contented with what we already have.
