Focusing on the blog is a good idea. In my limited blog experience, I've only seen one real approach: write like Hell, tell everyone you can about it, swallow sadness for the first year while no one reads it, then randomly after a year of hard work it'll start getting a bunch of traffic and take off.
- Mz 14y agoTrying to wrap my brain around this feedback. Here are some additional details: The blog isn't intended to be commercial. It is intended to be a personal outlet to help keep my big fat mouth from keeping me mired in controversy and drowning in hot water in online forums. I have debated taking it down, in part because some of it is extremely personal. But I get a great deal out of doing the writing and I think some posts are really good, so I have left it up for now. Long term, I still hope to do a comic. Short term, I am trying to get more traffic and monetize my health site, which is the site people keep expressing interest in and willingness to support. I am homeless at the moment. I have time to write but no money. I need an income stream and the health site seems like the best place to start. Thoughts? I keep wrestling with these questions and don't have good answers.
