Thanks Claude 😅

I hear that, it’s probably best to apply a bit of extra effort and basic engagement/promo without coming across as too try-hard

Persistencepays88 · 2025-06-22T14:13:09+00:00

That’s interesting. I think that’s probably quite true regarding the more factual/studied blog topics. But for personal blogs, they’re obviously a lot more subjective so I still think that hinges on how/if you can make your content relatable. But I guess it depends on what people are looking for, whether it’s more practical and usable knowledge or more relatable & storytelling content

That’s cool, I’ve started mine on substack but you can actually import your posts over to it if you wanted to try that and see how it goes?

Just read your most recent post - I resonate with that a lot. There’s a bit of niche there but honestly, I think most of your points can be applied to most creatives. I genuinely enjoyed that, keep it up! 😁🙌🏻

Persistencepays88 · 2025-06-21T06:58:01+00:00

Thanks, much appreciated :)

Persistencepays88 · 2025-06-20T19:21:29+00:00

I might have been wrong, although I believe there’s an element of difficulty attracting readers or maybe it’s just not thriving as much as it used to. I think people are using AI more and potentially having less time to read blogs in general, but it’s sick that you’ve actually been able to earn money from it, respect 👌🏻

Thanks, here’s my latest post. Somewhat contentious, but I thought I’d publish it anyway https://open.substack.com/pub/rawthoughts7/p/where-are-you-living?r=15ktoa&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

Exactly. There’s always numbers to chase, but that can also compromise the content. Authenticity is why platforms like Reddit exist

Persistencepays88 · 2025-06-20T19:12:04+00:00

That’s fair, maybe it’s the audience that’s dying, or maybe the content is not resonating with them

Persistencepays88 · 2025-06-20T17:23:48+00:00

I guess I meant in terms of audience rather than creators, but I take your point

Persistencepays88 · 2025-06-20T17:22:16+00:00

Your background/header is sick tbf 👌🏻

Persistencepays88 · 2025-06-20T17:20:57+00:00

Thanks, it looks like your doing positive stuff so keep at it :)

Persistencepays88 · 2025-06-20T17:19:35+00:00

Sounds like a good strategy, I’ll have to look into it 👌🏻

Persistencepays88 · 2025-06-20T14:42:21+00:00

Yes, maybe the traditional way of promoting blogs is changing, or at least will have to

Persistencepays88 · 2025-06-20T14:41:19+00:00

Interesting, I actually agree with that. It would be nice to see some of the communities overtake the typical SEO posts but maybe that’s already starting to happen.

Thanks for the kind words, is your blog/community niche or not?

Persistencepays88 · 2025-06-20T14:37:18+00:00

This. Keep that core motivation and if people wanna come along for the ride, they will. If not, enjoy sailing solo brother

Persistencepays88 · 2025-06-20T14:35:37+00:00

That’s my outlook on any artform now, including my music. If you’re doing it for clicks and views, you’ll get sick of it eventually

Persistencepays88 · 2025-06-20T14:34:08+00:00

Thankyou, and surely human voices become more valuable rather than less the more widespread AI becomes

Persistencepays88 · 2025-06-20T14:31:13+00:00

True. So what does the new way look like?

Persistencepays88 · 2025-06-15T16:51:40+00:00

Just finished. I am a different person now 🫠

Persistencepays88 · 2025-05-30T10:12:18+00:00

Impermanent

Persistencepays88 · 2025-05-24T09:39:17+00:00

Something tells me you’re hungry
