Honestly, I think this is the best way to go.
The best content should win, the content that has value and gives real insights. Not because it is written to get "Money" '.Most of my articles getting traffic either Pinterest or Google .
Because I write what my own audience is asking and needing and I know that there are more people who need it. I think the best is to switch off your mind of the "MONEY" and create and write because it matters.
