Hey! I appreciate everyone's patience with the messages a lot. It has been a challenge for me to respond to everyone promptly these days. >< I think my previously burning myself out with the chatting and my current efforts to prioritize the types of work that would allow me to grow my career are probably to blame for the slow replies.
I do really enjoy chatting with my fans, but many of my replies are several paragraphs long (which is what I personally prefer since I like in-depth conversations)... But I don't have the juice to write many in-depth replies in a day... 😣 I think my tolerance for the quantity of messages has decreased lately too since I pushed myself pretty hard with this a while back.
I also don't want to spend more than an hour a day just handling my messages... The chatting, while important for motivating me, isn't scalable. However, it is important for most of one's efforts as a content creator to be oriented toward growth since that's the only way to maintain longevity in the career. I'm not comfortable with hiring anyone to manage my correspondence with my fans since you guys are here for me and not for some anonymous chatter... I also don't feel like it's fair to require tips for messages since I want to be accessible to my subscribers regardless of their ability to pay. I have yet to figure out a solution to this conundrum. 😿
Long story short: I'm still figuring out how to reply to my messages efficiently while prioritizing growth-oriented work as a creator and not burning myself out. I'm sorry to make you guys wait for my replies. >< Thank you for sticking around regardless too. I hope I figure out a system to make this better...
