Fake Internet Fame vs. Real Growth: A Trader's Take

Fake Internet Fame vs. Real Growth: A Trader's Take1 Jul 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.
