Blogger here. I write for a living and do this blog on the side.
The biggest tip I have is don't do it for the money. Do it because you have something to say. As soon as you do something just for the money, God walks out of the room.
Don't expect one article to go viral. Strive for longevity and consistency. Content is a gravitational pull. The more you produce, the stronger your gravity becomes.
I prefer Ghost over Substack because Substacks all have the same milquetoast reading experience IMO, and I don't believe in building a business in someone else's backyard.
Yeah, I was definitely a but concerned about potential for deplatforming (someone else's backyard). Hadn't heard of Ghost prior so will definitely check it out. Thanks.
