The opportunity to reach a lot of people, sometimes quickly, is one hell of a reward.

Wow, my latest article just crossed 10k views in a day on @ThePracticalDev β¨π― This totally made my evening! π π₯³π Thank you all for being so supportive! πβ€
This is a great reward for a community with lots of traffic. Im curious if you got similar reactions when DEV had less than 10k members?
I guess the same can be true for smaller communities with very active members and lively discussions. Like id personally be excited to get 100 views + 20-30 comments on an article within 24hrs.
Just getting one tweet often went just as far. That official @-mention goes a long way to making people feel like they had an impact with their post, even when the views were small.

You're right @ben - there's a lot of good feelings and reward in simply connecting with others or even peer validation.

These little wins really do give you the confidence and persistence to keep going even when it looks like nobody is watching.
