Avoid These 7 Mistakes as an Online Writer
And save two years of wasted effort
Call me ignorant, childish, or crazy, but I left my career as a civil engineer and started afresh as a blogger at 24.
Yes, blogger.
Blogging can make a person financially free. I took that sentence seriously and began writing online.
New to the digital world, I thought — ‘if so many people say blogging equals financial freedom, they must be true.’
Yes, they might be.
But the time when I was sold this dream was 2021. Blogs were dead long back. And I was unaware of the new rising industry that killed blogging.
Am I too late? Am I a fool? How I didn’t sense that when it was all in front of me all the time? I found myself in deep trouble. I was ashamed of a costly mistake I made — I started a blog in the age of the Creator Economy.
Lesson 1 — If you want to start anything online, spend 1–2 months in rigorous reading. Don’t be in a hurry to buy costly dying subscriptions. First — study platforms, read reports, follow top people, and note the trends.
