I've been seeing @selfhelp4trolls building community by creating YouTube shorts and I just love those users who are dedicated with their own projects.
I'm always getting inspired by them that make me think of building my own. I've been running my website since 2022 and not getting any traffic from it due to inconsistency and paralysis analysis.
Maybe I should start for real, I have to renew my domain and hosting soon 😆
I won't leave Hive and InLeo of course, my website is just more for a professional side of myself while Hive is more on my personal life.
However, I've been thinking of a lot of things lately and wants to try more things at once but let's not deny it, our time isn't enough to try everything.
How I wish we have more than 24 hrs in a day!
Maybe one step at a time, build soft skills.
How about you? Do you experience the same? How do you cope up with it?
Lions meed to start thinking of their account and username as a brand that needs attention in order to monetize
The days of just getting autovoters is over
Now we have referrals and creator subs
Time to level up in my opinion
We all need to do it on an individual level
Thanks, I want to start my creator subs but I'm still in a phase of not having to share for now and looking for what is it, exploring more things and getting to know myself and so I can offer something to everyone that makes their $HBD worth it.
I'm building my brand on Hive and it's just a start. Being a #premium is one of the signs and best decisions that I made on the platform so far.
thanks for the shoutout!
I think al of us at hive should have other stuff going on in our lives and other creative or business pursuits. I think too many people thought hive and crypto was gonna solve all their problems if they waited long enough but they didn’t really improve or build anything, or if they did build something, it was just only this tiny island of ours and not connected to anything.
The only problem is that some people get busy with other things and disappear.
I’m used to having a bunch of projects, I write novels, I play music, I make podcasts and videos. But I don’t find it hard to balance all these things because I am just doing what I want to do! All of this is what excites me in the moment. So I take a break from novels and music for a year to make videos. Now I’m doing fewer videos so I can get back into music, but I’m recycling old videos into shorts so I still have an even greater output than before 😀
What kind of website?
I always feel that having a lot of interest i just stopping me from doing anything more productive. It stop me from really doing something.
I guess I have to stick to something that could give fun to myself while earning and building something.
And yeah, I would agree that we should also think outside the box and try new more things to grow.
It's a personal website under my name, my initial plan was to use it as my portfolio but as time passes by I want to monetize it but I always feel lazy making research for content and SEO.
My plan now is to re-publish content from Hive to my website and vice versa just for the sake of repurposing but the problem is I don't think I will reach readers if I will post personal blogs just like what I do on Hive.
I think following the plan can be overrated. If you get really excited, you just do work and it doesn’t feel like work.
So I just ask myself, what would be exciting right now? And I do it. And a lot of times the first few minutes is hard so that’s the only time I push myself.
What would make you excited the most right now? I mean like today or next time you have free time? Moving your posts to the website?
What makes me excited is to see the progress of my website. It's like milking my pocket for domain renewal and never got any monetary value from it since from the very start and I want to flip it into a profitable website (at least)
then get excited and do it!!!! I am doing something similar at Substack, posting all my old stuff there. Basically I’m in recycle mode, finding nice and powerful ways to recycle all my old work because it’s less intense so I can start working on new work without having to hibernate to focus on it 100%
Are your content more likely a personal blog or informative?
I try to blend the two. I want to teach things but I don’t want to lecture or just speak at people cause I don’t think it’s fun for me or the reader. So I try to make it personal. Which is also fun.
Feel free to check out my last two posts. I kinda of flow between styles but try to always make it fun for me and the reader and somewhat beneficial to someone
