Fake Internet Fame vs. Real Growth: A Trader's Take1. Juli 202518 Min.

We reflect on the journey of podcasting and content creation, comparing it to gardening where growth happens invisibly at first but eventually blossoms with patience and persistence.

• Recently reached milestone of 25 podcast episodes

• Importance of properly crediting sources in podcast content

• Growth in podcasting takes time, just like plants need weeks to emerge from soil

• Most "overnight successes" like Joe Rogan actually had years of brand-building first

• Much of viral internet content uses fake engagement from click farms

• Creating content with purpose is more sustainable than chasing algorithm rewards

• Episodes can gain traction months later when keywords become relevant

Keep planting your seeds and recording your episodes.
