What slays me is people thinking Medium is the only place to write, like they invented blogs or something. I’ve been blogging on Wordpress for some time now, am I making money yet, no. Am I having fun? Sure, but more importantly, I’m helping people and making friends. It’s important to find your “why” and not be so worried about making money you lose sight of the purpose of your blog. Writing is hard enough work when “life” is happening all around you. I don’t need the added pressure of working 24/7 to make a buck. Or maybe I’d be more of a hustler if I was starving, I don’t know. I just think it’s more important to cultivate relationships and help people in the long run. Wordpress is the number one place for blogs as it turns out.
