Welcome to Austin James (dot) blog. There are many reasons I have started a brand new blog. One of the main reasons is I’m tired of how all my favorite old blogs have disappeared or gone ghost.
Nothing against my favorite, old bloggers. They gave us a hell of a ride, but they are gone now. They have either ridden off into the sunset, gone stale, or simply faded away, leaving a gaping hole in the fabric of the internet that has not been filled. So it goes.
A lot of chatter suggests that blogging was killed by YouTube and social media. It certainly had an impact, but my personal opinion is I don’t give a rat’s ass. I love blogs. I love to write. So I’m starting a blog.
It’s my bet there are a ton of people that want to see blogs comeback too.
Bringing Back The Blog, Baby!
I’m so bullish on blogging that I believe it is my best opportunity to improve the standing of my family. I have a wife and five children and they deserve a better financial future.
There are many side businesses I could try to start, but it’s my firm conviction that blogging is the best one.
The premise of this blog is I am an ordinary man striving to become better for the sake of my family. I am going to implement good advice into my life and report here how it goes, hopefully with positive results.
In short, I will help sift through all of the advice out there and will let you know what works and what is BS. In doing so, it is my hope to radically improve the lives of myself, my family, and the readers of this blog.
The first push is going to be in getting this blog established (and prove that blogging is not dead).
That means a whole lot of writing. There is no way around that truth.
Therefore, Let’s Write 100 Articles
YouTuber Mr. Beast advised would-be YouTubers to publish 100 videos and not even worry about how to get people to watch the videos because the first 100 videos would suck anyway, and that the process of making those videos will lead to massive improvement and will also assist in getting established on the platform.
So, in that spirit, rather than posting videos, I will be publishing 100 articles here on the blog before I worry about marketing, driving traffic, audience building, making money, etc. The only thing I will fret about is how I’m gonna write the first 100 articles the best that I can.
Once I get to 100, I will re-evaluate. But not until then.
Cheers!
