Mistakes I made during my blogging journey

When I first started blogging, I blogged on blogger.com in Lithuanian, you can read a backup of that blog here. I thought 4 million people should be enough for a blog to get some views but that wasn’t true.

Then I drifted to video, and made 40000 videos.

With this experience that I have now, I should have started this blog years ago (17 years ago to be somewhat exact).

I never should have created videos, but at that time that was fun.

So after having this experience I could say for aspiring bloggers: start a blog while you’re a young, don’t drift to video because that’s just too much exposure, even if you start with either video or blog: don’t reset your progress. This happened so many times to me, I was chasing the dream but now I’m settled with this blog.

Instead of doing things that get more views, do things you actually enjoy. If it’s a blog, then blog, because neither video or blog will pay you. Unless other people are really interested in what you do. But most people will be indifferent.

Fun activities don’t translate into money

Everybody would want to have fun and make money but that rarely happens.

Most people work in jobs they hate just to pay the bills.

I never worked, well maybe 3 months with my friend, I found out that jobs I was offered were such bullshit. So instead I decided to work for myself.

Instead of doing what people expect, I do what I want. I rarely get paid for doing what I like. Because there’s a mismatch of demands, people really don’t need what I do, if they had a need, they would support me, but most of what I do has no support.

You know the harsh reality of modern life.

If fun activities would translate into money, nobody would hate their job, but most jobs are just bullshit. Who has the desire to do them? They’re doing it just to get da money to pay da bills.
