Message: <blockquote data-quote="mon_fi" data-source="post: 914025" data-attributes="member: 78083">I have just published my 100th article on my blog. Overall, I have written 160 000 words since February 2020. If we take into account the two theses I have written, that is 200 000 words in one year. I think I could triple that if I were to write full time.Now, the number of people that read me is impressive: 0. Lol. I have learned the hard way that "build it and they will come" is not true.I have further learned that if you want to promote your writing, you have to spend 80% of the time doing so - and 20% of the time actually writing. Ok. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------My Tinder website is almost done. I have revised the copy, made it mobile-friendly, and corrected the many mistakes since I have discovered Grammarly. I have also changed the business model and decided to sell the practical examples section as a one-time payment. I don't think many people would have bought a subscription anyway. I wouldn't have. Now, I have no clue how I am going to promote it. That's my next challenge. Traffic. -------------------------------------------------------When I was googling some French stuff, I found out about an unfulfilled blog niche. I bought the URL 5 minutes later, but I really wonder if it is reasonable to be having my normal blog, my tinder website, my third project, and a 4th one. It's not that I don't have time, but I want to focus to offer people quality. And I suck at multitasking. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------I have never had as much fun building my own products. This is great. I actually feel guilty because it doesn't feel like work. It is not always easy, but still much easier than the slowlane.Speaking of which...I quit my slowlane job. At least, I told the company I wouldn't prolong past the 3 months trial period. I have applied to paid internships in Belgium and estimate my chances to get in at 70%. If I miss it, I don't know what I will do. I guess I'll have to double down on writing and start making money this way.I plan to have a look soon at the 15 days freedom copywriting thread from Lex. I suspect I could apply some knowledge to the French-speaking market and make it work this way.  English-speaking sales and marketing material is very effective. I think knowing it gives me an edge over the rest of the writing competition in the French-speaking market. I have also read a couple of blog posts in French. There were many mistakes - and not great to read, to say the least. Knowing what I know, I seriously think I could deliver honest value to French companies doing marketing content and copywriting. There is only one way to find out...</blockquote>
