A question that kept me from starting a blog. For the longest time, I’ve always wanted to start a blog even though at the time I hated writing, but I still wanted to start a blog.
The reasoning behind that is simple.
Money!
I kept on hearing of all these different blog pages that were making millions upon millions of dollars from just writing a few blogs.
At the time, the platform that kept popping up when I searched “what’s the best blogging site” was WordPress, so like all bananas, I gave it a try and it sucked.
I think it was because I didn’t have the proper information on how to start a blog.
I didn’t know you had to have a domain, nor did I know what a domain was.
But the two things that bugged me the most were:
- having to purchase something I hadn't even tested out yet
- the navigation was way off, especially for a beginner like me at the time
All I wanted was a platform that I could just write and publish my thoughts and knowledge with the world, that’s all I wanted to do.
Just write.
So of course, years went by.
Side note: I’m currently building a capturing app that allows the user to just capture their thoughts and ideas without any friction whatsoever. If you're interested in it, do me a valuable by clicking here to join the waitlist.
After a few weeks of being in the LinkedIn and X space, I found tools like Beehive so I thought I might as well try it.
Short story, it’s good for sending out email newsletters and having a database where your subscribers can go and read your content online, but bad when it comes to raking in search traffic (I hope I don’t need to explain why).
So I went on to try platforms like Medium and Blogger.
Which both sucked bad.
However, luckily for me, I was in the AI space and someone posted a LinkedIn post about how they migrated to a different blog server and how they started getting 100k monthly search traffic, and that person was Tibo, the builder and founder of Taplio and Tweethunter.
So I gave it a try and wow.
First impressions do matter.
The tool is called…
Feather
It’s the software that inspired the creation of Notion sites.
Feather essentially allows you to turn your Notion template into a blog.
In this video, I go show you how it works and how to set everything up.
After 3 minutes of published blog posts, one of my blogs started raking in traffic. I went from zero traffic to 1 visitor, then 5, then 30 to 60 weekly visitors.
Now my reach kind of tanked since then but hey, it just proved that all the other platforms suck and my content is actually valuable to some people.
In short, Feather is by far the best blog host around.
So if you want to give it a try, click here for a 7-day free trial.
Oh, I forgot to mention that you can host more than one blog on your account.
I explain how in the above YouTube video.
