I don't understand the question. If I weren't making tiny bits of money doing this - I personally wouldn't be doing anywhere near so much of it. I don't make what I'd call anything near "significant" money from this - but I've reached various payouts a few times.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
