Create a Media Company Instead of a Blog
Because blogging is dead, sort of.
When I first wanted to start a blog, I was worried about what people would think. I’m a Marine Corps veteran, not some priss drinking oat milk lattes with my cat Fiona, who’s also a vegan.
Don’t get offended yet, I’ve actually had oat milk lattes and they’re delicious. I just wanted to write and the idea of a blog just didn’t fit the image I wanted to portray to the world. I cared too much about what other people would say, but having a blog sounded like:
Dear Diary,
Today was a tough cookie…
After spin class I saw Peter and he didn’t even stop to say hi. I wonder if he’s still mad at me for what happened on Tuesday..
That’s not what I wanted.
But it’s what I thought of whenever I heard the word “blog”. I also thought of the mommy bloggers telling the world about all of their problems and selling MLM haircare products that changed. their. life.
That’s definitely a world that exists, and I wanted no part in it. So, I started my blog and didn’t tell anyone about it. Eventually that blog failed, but I’ve started numerous other sites since then.
