90% of internet users are lurkers. As content creators, we don’t know what lurkers do, because they don’t show themselves: They don’t like or respond to our content. So do lurkers even like our content at all?
Brianne added an important note to my article:
Let’s all lurk a little less, and let’s tell people when their work has helped us.
When you appreciate other creators, they will be motivated to create even more and better content for you.
It’s a great reminder for myself too. I save and bookmark a lot of online content. But sometimes I forgot to show my appreciation.
Next time you see something valuable on the internet: Tell the creator by liking, sharing or responding to their content! They will love it. Just like you will love consuming more of their content!
