For authors out there, grinding away at content creation without seeing immediate results can feel like a slog.

It's that classic "Three Feet From Gold" scenario, where you're digging and digging but the treasure seems elusive.

It's all too easy to let this temporary sense of defeat mess with your head and pull you away from your goals.

This rings especially true in content creation. You might sometimes think your work is just vanishing into the void, not really touching anyone.

But hey, that's a pretty normal feeling.

Even the big shots in content creation, from Gary Vaynerchuk to Justin Welsh, have been there.

They’ve talked about constantly playing around with ideas, cranking out content, deciphering what the analytics are saying, and just keeping the publishing train rolling.

The mantra is pretty straightforward: Do→Learn→Iterate. That's your bread and butter for building an audience.

So, keep on writing, keep on sharing. You could be just a few steps away from striking it big.
