So I wrote my first blog for one year. 122 articles, about 200 000 words.
It sucked, because the content sucked, because I wasn't writing for others but for myself. I didn't do any SEO, no keyword research, and I targeted a niche of people that don't read (GenZ).
I guess I would have had more chances with a TikTok account lol.
So I quit two weeks ago. However, it's not going well. I have this need to write. I am miserable if I don't write or don't publish, so I was thinking about starting a second blog with a newsletter, under my own name this time and with my picture so that people can relate.
The idea would be to publish all of my notes. I spend my days writing down everything I learn or find interesting, and I actually have a bunch of notes now. Book and video summaries, podcast notes, a list of 450+ quotes, etc.
Here's what the concept would be:
I would divide the blog into 4 parts: business and money; tech and economics; notes; personal development
Each section would have notes related to the respective topic.
"Notes" would be the category where I would add all the notes + notes that are not relevant to any of the topics (notes about nutrition, history, philosophy for example).
The content would de facto be high-quality because it wouldn't be mine. I would just upload whatever I learned in books, podcasts, and in my traineeship + comment about how it relates to other things I learned. I would also explain what problems I ran into that week and how I fixed it. I'd give as much value as possible.
Then I would publish a free weekly newsletter with the three most important lessons/principles I learned during the week. The newsletter would enable me to build an email list that may ease the sales of digital products later on if I decide to go that route.
I checked and...many people are already doing that. While it is discouraging, it also means it works.
The good thing is that I don't think it will take me much more work. I am already taking notes, so why not publish them and build an audience? The newsletter would be extra short, no more than 200 words.
I think it would force me to pay more attention and think more because I'd have people to serve + I could test out my newly-acquired digital marketing skills.
Should I go for it, or is it just another distraction?
