I started writing 2017 as a new years resolution.
Back in the days I mostly wrote about things that I encountered in my daily development work and saw people struggle with or I struggled with myself. Webpack, React, etc.
It helped me to understand things by writing explanations for other people.
2019 I started to get offerings from companies to write for them, that moved the focus from my own problems in frontend development to the problems of other people. I wrote a few interesting pieces about APIs.
Today I make most of my money by writing for different companies all over the world, often I don't find the time to create my own content anymore, so my blog is often filled with guest posts.
On the one hand it's sad, because it goes more into the agency direction than into the influencer direction, but on the other hand I make good money with writing, and normally writers aren't paid well, so I got that going for me, haha.
