My mentor once told me when it comes to content, quality is art, but quantity is science.

Translated, it doesn't really matter how good you are, the more content you put out there, the better.

I think YouTube is a great example. I follow YouTubers who post one video every month because it's a high-quality production and it takes time, and YouTubers who post every day. It's low quality, but the end result is the same.

Whatever they lack in quality, they make up for with quantity.

And I'm seeing this first hand.

Here's a practical (but unrealistic) example.

I don't know what the average is but I guess most articles on Publish0x get at least $0.10, right?

Let's imagine you could write 100 articles every day (you can't, but humour me), and let's imagine each article gets at least $0.05.

That's $5 per day and $150 per month.

Let's imagine you could write 1000 articles every day and let's imagine each gets at least $0.03.

That's $30 per day and $900 per month.

YouTube's PPC (pay-per-click) is unpredictable and it varies, but let's imagine you have 1,000 followers and your channel is monetised in the US and you get $3 per 1,000 views.

Let's imagine you upload 10 videos a day, each with 1,000 views, that's $300 per day, which is unrealistic.

So let's use a more realistic scenario. Let's say you only make $0.03 per 1,000 views and upload 10 videos per day, that's still $30 per day.

And when it comes to videos, everyone's getting better at it because, if nothing else, our phones have formidable cameras.

So I guess if you want to be a content creator, focus on quality by all means, but focus more on quantity.
