Who doesn’t love quotes? A good quote can uplift you. It can encourage you when you feel like giving up. It can inspire you to punch those damn keys. A good quote can even become your blog’s motto. That’s why I’ve compiled this list of quotes about writing. So you feel inspired and motivated to […]
In the sixteen years since I wrote my first story, I’ve published five books, thousands of blog posts, and written a billion or so words that I later deleted. When I first got started, one of my biggest fears was that I’d run out of ideas. I was concerned that I would burn out, that […]
“Archaeologists have not discovered stages of human existence so early that they were without art. Right back in the early morning twilights of mankind we received it from Hands which we were too slow to discern. And we were too slow to ask: FOR WHAT PURPOSE have we been given this gift? What are we […]
I think I wrote and published well over a million words by now. Probably even more. Who knows? Who cares? After all, the blank page that I have to fill right now with words doesn’t care about my previous articles, short stories, or novels. All it cares is that I transform its emptiness into something […]
When I was young and naive I was so desperate to become the writer I dreamed about that I wrote like a bunch of other people. My words were not my own, the rules I blindly obeyed acted like a cage. I wrote like one or two of my favorite authors, depending on the day. Sometimes I’d […]
Hey guys,
Hey Cristian! Thanks for this opportunity 🙂
My question is:
My blog is popular amongst family and friends. What is the best way to get my posts out there to the general public? Do I start a public IG page? I have had not much luck with Twitter. I just want more exposure and have no idea on how to get it. Cheers!

The best way to get more exposure is to:
1. Write quality content.
2. Post frequently.
3. Interact with fellow bloggers in your niche/other popular blogs.
That is pretty much it.
Simply put, write and read other blogs. And comment. That is all.

Hi Betty,
Thank you for your question.
I usually spend anywhere between 10-14 hours working on my blog.

And yes, it can become addictive. If you don’t step away from your computer and live life out among other interactive, live, animated, annoying human beings, you soon become stale and lose the subject matter of consequence! (At least that’s been my experience)😀😱

Hey Cristian! How are you?
Here is my question:
I wasn’t much interested in blogging when I first started my blog. I was more into writing stories, but over time I learned more about blogging (thanks to you and a few more bloggers) and fell in love with blogging. Now I am planning to take this seriously. But I am having trouble with choosing my niche. I am used to writing about whatever topic interests me at that time, but I understand it’s not a healthy habit. Do you have any tips that could help me find my niche?
Thanks!

Finding your niche is simple: what interests you? What sets your soul on fire?
The balancing act comes down to writing about those topics in a way that your readers can understand and relate to you. That is all.

You often suggest that we don’t have to reinvent the wheel everyday by telling us to go back to previously successful posts (like the ones 5 or 6 years ago) and repost them for your new followers. Is there an easy way to post it again and make it look new without a copy/paste?

Yes. Simply reschedule your post some time in the future. You get to keep the likes and/or comments too that way.
