Writing online, blogging and building an audience WRITING • BLOGGING • AUDIENCE BUILDING

You Don't Need To Be A Writer To Start Writing

I used to think writing online meant having to be a professional writer, knowing exactly what to say and already having an audience.

I don't think that anymore.

If you are already using websites, testing earning platforms, learning something or building something, you already have material to write about.

For me, writing has become another part of the larger passive earning loop. I can document what I am doing, publish it somewhere, bring people to it and eventually use that content to introduce people to other things I am working with.

Writing Is Another Part Of The Loop

The interesting thing about writing is that it can connect almost everything else together.

I can use AutoFaucet Dutchy and then write about my experience with it.

I can test MiningBlocks and explain what I found useful.

I can document my longer experience with RollerCoin .

I can write about advertising through LeadsLeap and ZerAds .

Then those experiences become articles.

Those articles can be published on writing platforms, shared on social media or advertised through the traffic platforms I am already using.

That is where writing becomes more interesting to me.

Ideas for writing online

Publish0x: A Simple Place To Start

Publish0x is one of the first places I would suggest looking at if you want to experiment with publishing online.

It is free to join and the platform already has an audience interested in crypto and related subjects.

One of the interesting things about Publish0x is the tipping system.

Readers can tip authors, which means your article does not necessarily need to depend entirely on traditional advertising.

I would not describe the earnings as huge compared with some other opportunities.

But that is not necessarily the point.

For somebody starting from zero, having a place where people can actually discover your writing is valuable.

You can learn how to structure an article, choose a topic, create a title and slowly understand what people actually want to read.

One important thing to remember is that Publish0x has rules regarding AI generated content. I would use AI as a learning or research assistant rather than simply generating articles and publishing them as your own.

Hive: Writing Becomes A Community

Hive is a different experience.

You are not simply putting an article onto a website and waiting for search traffic.

Community participation matters.

You discover communities, read other people's posts, comment, participate and gradually become part of the ecosystem.

This is one reason I think Hive can be difficult for beginners.

You cannot really approach it as: "I will publish one article and make money."

There is a social side to it.

The more you participate, the more people can discover your work.

For someone who actually enjoys writing, photography, creativity, personal experiences or documenting what they are learning, that community side can become much more valuable than simply looking at the payout from one post.

Steem: More Than Just Publishing

Steem is another blockchain based writing ecosystem that interests me.

The important thing here is understanding that the platform is not simply about writing an article and disappearing.

Communities matter.

People discover your work through other people.

You can find communities that match what you enjoy writing about and participate in them.

There are also contests and community activities that can make the experience more interesting.

If you are completely new, Steem can feel confusing at first.

That is normal.

The best approach is to spend some time reading before trying to understand everything at once.

Look at how other people structure their posts, what communities they participate in and how people interact.

Ideas for writing online

What Should You Actually Write About?

This is probably the question that stops most people.

They think they need a completely original idea.

You don't.

Start with what you are already doing.

If you are testing a website, write about the test.

If you found something confusing, explain how you eventually figured it out.

If you found a useful feature, explain it.

If something did not work, explain that too.

A genuine experience can often make a better article than a generic article written simply because a topic appears popular.

For example, I can write:

  • What I Actually Earned Using MiningBlocks
  • How I Use LeadsLeap For Advertising
  • My Long-Term RollerCoin Experience
  • Why I Use ZerAds For Small Traffic Tests
  • What I Learned From AutoFaucet Dutchy
  • How I Started Publishing On Hive

These are not theoretical subjects.

They come directly from things I am actually doing.

Your Experiences Become Content

This is where the passive earning idea comes back.

Imagine spending a month testing several platforms.

You could simply keep the results to yourself.

Or you could turn that month into ten useful articles.

Those articles can continue existing.

Someone searching for the platform months later might discover the article.

They might then discover another article on the website.

They might click through to a platform.

They might even discover your other work.

That is the part of writing I find interesting.

The original work was done once, but the result can continue being discovered.

Writing Gives Your Advertising Somewhere To Go

This is where LeadsLeap and ZerAds become important to the system.

Instead of advertising a bare referral link, I can advertise an actual article.

Someone sees an advertisement for MiningBlocks.

They click it.

Instead of immediately asking them to register, the article can explain what MiningBlocks actually is, what I experienced and why I think it is interesting.

The reader gets information first.

The referral link is then simply another option for somebody who wants to try the platform.

This is much more useful to me than building a website that is nothing more than a collection of referral links.

The Website Becomes The Home Base

Writing on other platforms is useful because they already have audiences.

But I also want my own website to act as the centre of everything.

A visitor can arrive through an article.

From there they can discover another article.

Then they can discover one of the platform pages.

Someone interested in passive earning can move toward the Passive Earning guide.

Someone interested in advertising can explore LeadsLeap or ZerAds .

Someone interested in earning can explore MiningBlocks , RollerCoin or AutoFaucet Dutchy .

The website becomes a connected library rather than a collection of unrelated pages.

You Can Eventually Build An Audience

This is where writing can become bigger than the original earning idea.

If people repeatedly find your articles useful, some of them will eventually start following your work.

You can connect your website with social media.

You can build an email audience.

You can create a Patreon later.

You can publish tutorials.

You can create guides.

You can eventually sell something you created yourself.

At that point, the original subject might not even be important anymore.

The real asset becomes the audience and the ability to create something useful for them.

Start Small

You do not need ten websites.

You do not need a perfect writing style.

You do not need thousands of followers.

Start with one platform.

Use it.

Write down what you learned.

Turn those notes into an article.

Publish it.

Then do it again.

Eventually you will have something much more valuable than a single article.

You will have a library of your own experiences.

A Realistic Note

Writing platforms can change their rules, rewards, communities and requirements over time.

My experiences are personal. Earnings are not guaranteed, and the main value of writing can be building knowledge, content and an audience over time.
