DAY 05: MY BLOGGING ROAD MAP UPDATE

I’ve come to my first crossroad on my blogging map.

I guess you don’t know if a plan will work until you actually start doing it. And what I learned is that I don’t want to write for Newsbreak.

Also, I don’t want to write for Constant-Content.

Rather than lay all the details out, the biggest driver of my decision is that I have ZERO control of my longevity there.

Take Newsbreak, for example.

The publication has this stupid “3 strikes and your out deal.” Well, I got a strike for a misquote that was off by one word!

My goodness.

Why not send it back for a rewrite or refuse it altogether? But, instead, I got a strike which means I have one more chance. And, I don’t want to feel like I’m writing with a noose around my neck.

Overall, I’d prefer to work on my blog.

But, as I mentioned in my previous journal log, I don’t have that kind of luxury, and I prefer to see cash flow quickly.

Final Notes:

hy drop Medium from my plan?

Medium is a great place to start as a freelancer, but I think I’m past that. Long gone are the days when you could publish on Medium and earn hundreds or thousands of dollars a month. Are people doing it? Yes. But only a select, dedicated few.

Besides, there would be only “no-follow” juice coming from the post.

And, the best-case scenario for income after a few months would be maybe a grand per month. That’s a very, very big maybe.
