How many of you here have spun your own web in this world wide web? I would love to see your blogs and podcasts. You can drop the link below, and I am going to check all of them! Also, some people here host podcasts, like I got to know on my post I made: #830418. But maybe I missed some of you because I didn't specifically ask on that post.
I think when we enter the world of the Wide Web, we get lost in the content created by others and just become consumers. We keep an eye on our favorite ones on the internet, comment and share opinions on what we like about what they recently posted, and even form fandoms if a particular person is liked too much on the internet. Isn’t it amazing? Of course, not everyone who’s famous online is liked by everyone, and many don’t like them, yet we end up becoming part of fan groups or follow their work closely.
But what about your own identity? Your own brand? If they can share themselves online, why can’t you? Now most will say, and I’d agree, “I don’t want to show my face; I want to remain private.” That’s valid, but that’s where blogging and podcasting comes in. Blogging and podcasting allow you to share your thoughts, ideas, or work in text or multimedia formats—it’s all about your personal take.
Currently, I have so many pre-written pieces in my diaries that I haven’t shared online, but they’re still blogs because I wrote all of them as if I was expressing myself online. I’m just searching for the right platform to share them. I don’t know if sharing them here would be fine; I need more time to understand Stacker News better.
When you write a blog or do a podcast, you create something unique. Out of billions of people who use the internet, probability suggests some will read, some will like, and some will absolutely love your content. You never know what positive changes you could bring to someone’s life.
Plus, it gives you a sense of identity. You’ll start seeing yourself as a brand, learn endlessly, and no longer feel like a lost ghost in this vast web of information.
Let’s see your blogs or podcasts—I can’t wait to check them out!
Edit: I apologize for posting in the wrong territory. I was writing all this down as a format and just missed the podcast territory. Please don’t mind! But I feel like it still fits here.
Have you checked out our podcast for the sports territory.
If you have low expectations, it will be right up your alley.

😂 I think you’ve shared this with me—@grayruby @Undisciplined, is this you?

Allegedly

😂 I've seen so many people here, but you two are genuinely funny and cool! It's been my 9 days on SN, and you both are already my favorite accounts!

That's the official territory account. It's run by the intern. Who also happens to be me. You gotta wear a lot of hats when you are a lowly territory startup.
I think I will make @supercyclone the intern once the school year is over. Have to discuss it with the board of old men yelling at clouds though.
reply
Wow, you have a board too? That’s amazing—I had no idea there was such a big business going on here! 😂 Your territory feels so official!

I would love to start my own podcast, but I get stopped every time by the sheer hassle of the technology. Learning how to use a proper microphone, how to edit, where to upload, what an RSS feed is, and so on.
I just want to record and be done!

😂 I get your frustration—it’s like how I feel when I visit GitHub and just want to download something without dealing with all the tech stuff. I’m not a techy guy; I just want the app, plain and simple. For beginners, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed. Give yourself 20 minutes each day to explore and understand the basics. Within a month or two, you’ll get the hang of it. If you start something, let me know—I’d love to check it out!

Awesome advice! Always tried it in one sitting and failed!
reply
😂 Instead of thinking, "I have to do this at all costs," try pretending you already are a podcaster. Act as if it’s part of who you are—it might help shift your mindset. I once read a book about getting started with podcasting, answering all the technical questions you might have. Unfortunately, I’ve forgotten the name, but if I remember it, I’ll share it with you—it was pretty helpful!
reply
That would be great!

That’s something I’ve wanted to focus on, but not educated enough yet, is to create binaries for popular bitcoin and lightning software that may otherwise be difficult to setup.

Some of this reminds me of this great blog and discussion: #304309.
For me at least, thinking about writing as identity and brand demotivate me from writing. But, if I think about writing as improving my ability to think clearly, and finding people that think clearly and want to help me think clearly, then my attitude about it changes.

Thanks for sharing your opinion; I agree with it. I may have framed it in an off way, like writing to create a brand or identity. To be honest, I enjoy seeing people carve out their own little territory online, like we do here—a space where they can share however they want.
I’ve seen podcasts and blogs get thousands of visits a day, but also those that no one has visited even once, yet they keep creating for years. Why? Because it helps them in some way. Maybe it’s hope that someone will connect with them, a way to stay motivated, a tool to process life, or just for personal clarity.
I write because it helps me, and it works. There’s this myth among everyone that most people can’t share online because they feel they don’t have anything worth sharing. I don’t believe that. If not online, people can write offline like I do. Everyone has a story—some keep it private, some semi private, some don’t care who knows, and some want all 8 billion people to hear it. Even those scared still share, and that inspires me. Everyone’s story has value, and it motivates me to keep writing too!
reply
I agree. This is why I started writing on medium and switching all of my content to SN territory.
I created the engineering and construction territory to share news and have general discussions about those topics. I call it a blog but it’s just more a place to track projects and look at them with a bitcoin perspective.
Same with the stocks territory I know i might get heat or be called a fiat maxi shitcoiner because I like talking about stocks but it’s a place where I can blog and show the world about investing.
reply
To me, you seem like a very visionary person who thinks ahead. Why would I label someone negatively like that? There are billions who haven’t even started or don’t have 100 sats—I wouldn’t call them Shitcoiners or fiat maxis, just like I wouldn’t call my family members that. It’s beyond the scope of a person’s current understanding or situation. I’m glad you share your thoughts, and honestly, I love it. You’re doing a lot—keep up the great work!

I find it hard to keep up, even a diary. Any tips?

It happened to me during my pre-puberty days—those hormonal changes make you feel crazy one moment and on cloud nine the next. I felt so confused because I couldn’t confess to anyone what was going on with me. That’s when I decided to write about how I felt. Over time, I got better and better. The key is not to push yourself—don’t treat it like a job, but as a fun hobby. Once you start enjoying it, your hands will flow automatically!
