As I’m reviewing my creative projects versus what I can actually afford to keep going right now my blogging one stands out as a monthly outgoing I may need to divert elsewhere. I’m looking at free or cheaper alternatives to WordPress but one thing stands out to me – where do you write from theContinue reading “The most important factor when I’m choosing a blogging platform”

Writing what you want and when you feel like it
As you may have figured I’ve been slowly coming to terms with not being able to make a living out of this project to support me in these times but it has an advantage – I can write about what I want, when I want. I’ve had a tag line of sharing my passions hereContinue reading “Writing what you want and when you feel like it”
Why I can’t recommend using Medium for your writing
I’ve been trying Medium for a day and I think I’m already done with it. I signed up for a free trial and wrote a few posts but I think it’s already giving me anxiety. Let’s get the good stuff out of the way. The writing experience is very good, I like the clean editorContinue reading “Why I can’t recommend using Medium for your writing”
Is blogging in decline?
I still write here on my blog because I want to get things out of my head and into a form that I enjoy but I see a lot of others taking the move into video, podcasts or dropping their blog completely. I’ve tried video back in 2008 and whilst I gained some small successesContinue reading “Is blogging in decline?”
How often should you post to substack?
I think I’ve misunderstood how Substack works or I should say how you should treat it. At the beginning I thought it could replace some of my daily posts but the more I thought about it, it’s a newsletter – I should really post to it weekly rather than as and when I think ofContinue reading “How often should you post to substack?”
Giving Substack a try
I’ve been writing here for years and fancied giving something else a try for my writing both as a change but to also learn a few new skills along the way, so I’ve created a SUBSTACK to share my thoughts for a bit. Here’s the link to my SUBSTACK page. Let me know what youContinue reading “Giving Substack a try”
Should you write on Medium?
It’s a question I ask myself as I look at ways to help my current financial situation. As someone that is running their own blog and making zero income on it I’m looking at options to help either grow this endeavour or leave and go all in on something like Medium with subscribers. Medium hasContinue reading “Should you write on Medium?”
WordAds aren’t worth the negative impact on your site
Since leaving my day job I turned on ads on this blog, via the inbuilt WordAds – managed by WordPress. I thought I’d be back writing this and here I am, in 3 months I’ve earned a total of $1.18. This helps pay 1/10 of my monthly phone bill i.e. not worth the impact onContinue reading “WordAds aren’t worth the negative impact on your site”
A change of URL (and hi…)
Hi, it’s been almost a month since I did anything here. I’m not comfortable going into details but I’ve needed to hive myself away a bit whilst I manage other things – think Luke on Ach-To… But writing here is something I need to get back to doing, being creative I’ve realised really helps andContinue reading “A change of URL (and hi…)”
Blogging from an iPhone
I was thinking this morning that 80% of my posts these days are all done from my iPhone. I do write from my iPad but it’s becoming a rarer thing these days. My sleep patterns are all over the place right now and my iPhone is always with me. I’m also a pretty spontaneous writerContinue reading “Blogging from an iPhone”
