Complicated Relationships with Work
Many content marketers report having complicated relationships with the work they produce, feeling a disconnect between performance metrics and creative fulfillment. Despite achieving some level of success in terms of traffic or engagement, the sense of personal satisfaction and creative joy seems to be lacking.
