I've been mulling and putting together scraps of blog posts / articles for what I think might be useful for some readers.
While I have had no shortage of excuses to procrastinate on actually publishing anything yet, the one thing that keeps popping back up like a cockroach taped to a cuckoo clock's spring mechanism is where to actually publish it.
While I have narrowed it down to a few of the myriad of options, I'm still undecided. I'm not telling which ones to avoid influencing suggestions.
So, I think it is time to tap into what stackers here would suggest to just get that one item settled and spend more time procrastinating on other things.
The main goal of the blog is removing fear of failure when dealing with/in bitcoin. Like addressing concerns over self-custody, kyc vs non-kyc, spending vs hodling, etc.
It'll be more of a personal blog angle, describing things I have done rather than a how-to format. Maybe I'll have the odd soap box moment, but the majority would be about real world encounters, eg. things I have done, failed at, and learned myself.
Monetization of the blog/content itself isn't a concern. If this ever turned into income of some sort down the line, I'd imagine it more acting as a gateway to hands-on workshops, or maybe speaking events.
As for discussion, I don't care if it happens on the publishing platform or somewhere else like SN, nostr, or anywhere else as long as the friction is reasonable. (In fact, I think some friction might be good to reduce low quality comments and spam.)
So, if you were starting a new blog, where would you publish it? Bonus points if you can point to an existing blog that has used that avenue and is doing well with it.
