RE: I Need to Come Clean..

in #steemit7 years ago

Holy Eve, I hadn't much time to write here at all, but scrolling here a bit earlier, I have noticed your post and I said to myself that I will read it a little bit later. Now seeing my name in the footer makes me feel bad for my choice to postpone reading it, ops :)

At first, reading the title I thought that something bad happened, but now I realize that you made a really big step moving entirely to blogging. I don't want to hear you ever saying that you don't have courage, because you have a lot making this great decision! I believe that this will be good for you for the long term, but you may also find the need to have a hobby or something else to do with your tine now. I am very curious to hear how is it going from the emotional point of view the shift from a full time job to being a successful (don't try to disagree) blogger with pretty much free time.

What makes me a little bit sad about this is the fact that sometimes it is possible that you don't want to post anything and just go to a vacation or lay all day in bed. At that moment I would ask you to skip making a post because I don't want that your interaction with the platform and with us to feel like something you have to do in order to be successful. I wish that when you reply to some comment you receive, you will really feel that you want to write that reply back and not make it for being polite. I also hope that your positice interactions with us here will become better and that we will preserve the same will of talking and sharing ideas to each other.

As a last point in my comment and to answer your question about ideas on what you should share with us, let me say first what you should start easily. I think that you found (or made) a niche here. Posting beautiful artistic photos, sharing impressions about them and interacting with people, I believe these are your strengths. Maybe including crypto analisys or news on this topic won't make your current followers base happy, at least not all of it, espevially that people who just appreciate you for your art, but who are not so interested in cryptocurrencies. My suggestion will be to make a separate account for the second topic and use it for crypto news/ideas/opinions only. You can say that this account is affiliated to you, or simply that it is yours, I guess it will be easy to promote it and people interested in crypto and you will follow that account too, while the people who are only interested in you (your current posting style) will keep following your actual account and you will not lose any follower, but you would even get some more.

For the beginning I would say that you could start sharing with us how do you feel now as a full time blogger and how was your experience going from work to just writing here.

PS: These are just my opinions, but I guess that some of them are worth a try even they sound like a lot of work.

PPS: I envy you for your courage, keep on going like that!

Wow. First of all, thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy day for writing such a long comment to me Andrew, makes one feel quite special😊

It’s definitely going to take time to get used to the new life and find new routines. I will write about that in the future for sure.

Now that this is my job, there is a real possibility that this all might start to feel more like a task, not just something fun. But I really like doing this, all the commenting back and forth and making the posts. It’s not always fun but that is way I like to change it up between nature, self portraits and other things. It makes it both interesting to me, and to you guys. And no, my blog will never ever be about crypto. It’s just something I do on the side, and I know way too little and I have no desire to try and give anyone any advice regarding crypto trading. 😁

Thank you so much for being a follower and a very active commentator on my posts.

Ps. you forgot to include your cat!

Oh, how could I forget about the cat? It looks like you won this one, I forgot about it, but you remembered :)) I guess it was because of the late hour I have written the comment, and more important, the idea of your article which made me concerned about you :D

Let me make up to you for this :P

There you go, btw, what is his name?

I don't know why I hate this question :)) He had a lot of names, but right now my sister is calling him Mehmet or sometimes Pus (it is funny because I don't know if you will be able to pronounce it as I have written it).

No wonder he is so grumpy! You need to give him a proper name! I'm pretty sure I know how to say Pus, we Finns speak the same as everything is written. English is not your mother language either, right?
