Why I blog
Obviously, I have a blog. You're reading it now. I also have an Instagram, a Facebook, and, believe it or not, a Youtube channel.
But why? You'll notice they are not updated often, and the Youtube has never hosted a video at all. There's an intent behind reserving the spaces, however, their use has fallen by the wayside.
On the other hand, this blog seems to be overflowing with words! Maybe that will change. Maybe not. Admittedly, it is a lot easier to write than it is to constantly crank out photos or short-form videos.
From a realistic perspective, neither the blog or any of the social media are helping me bring in money. They are all acts of creation that are hopeful in bringing another person to my case list, however being realistic, using social media without spending ad dollars is only going to get me so far unless I were to all-in on becoming an influencer. And frankly, I have neither the time nor the interest.
So, why blog. For me, this still serves a creative interest. I have a lot to say and a lot to share, and at least here I can type, save, post, and share content that interests me.
Maybe there will be a point where I can reflect on some of these posts and bring them into a publishable format. At the very least, it serves as a record of my business. I exist! And you can find me here.
And if you can find me, you are not alone either.
