Why I’ve Started To Write Online — And Will Never Stop
I have to admit it was a pure coincidence for me to start writing online.
I’m an Industrial Engineer by trade and back in 2020 I was completing a professional course in Data Science to broaden my skill set. As a capstone, we had to publish our final project report online as a science best practice.
This is where I learned about Medium.
And this is where my journey started.
I was astonished by this vast platform where you could sign up and write about what you wanted and even get paid when people read it.
I messed around with Medium and quickly made my first cent of internet money with my writing — and never stopped from there. Although my main idea was to make some money on the side and have some fun, writing online unlocked so much for me I will forever be thankful for.
So far, it helped me:
- Feeling more balanced through my creative outlet
- Exploring a whole new (online) world and meeting cool people
- Facilitating a career change that I never had in my playbook
Although it has given me so much so far, I couldn’t help but struggle in some fields — mainly with a consistent habit of publishing that helps me to carve out my category and find the audience that deems my content valuable.
This is why I signed up for Ship30 and this is my hard-wired goal — to publish daily and build a content generation flywheel that I can profit from long after the course has ended.
This is #1 of 30 Atomic Essays I’m going to write through the Ship30for30 writing course. Read this post and more on my Typeshare Social Blog
