Yea, probably everybody would want to be immortal, but unfortunately, death is integrated into life’s design.
That sucks.
I found out why it glitched out on me
So the file was just 30 minutes long, it wasn’t a problem with Shotcut, either way I’m not doing reimagined files, I uploaded them as they were.
You can check them here.
It adds up
Targeting long tail keywords by writing articles can add up over time and get your blog decent views.
You know – people read everything, if they can stumble on it, but the hardest part is getting your blog posts in front of them.
There’s so much noise competing for attention.
Every blog post screams ‘read me’.
People read everything, but they don’t have enough attention to spare to read through everything.
Besides people don’t have to read your blog, the fact that you made it doesn’t translate into automatic views. View is when somebody visits your blog, but it doesn’t mean the person visiting the blog is actually reading it.
Why bloggers fail
The only reason bloggers fail is that they stop producing content.
If a blogger commits to writing a blog until he is dead, then he can’t fail.
You really can’t measure blog’s success on external factors like views, money and whatnot.
If you been thinking about quitting blogging, just redefine success. Blogging was never good business model. Sure some bloggers make money, but I doubt they are writing content that they really want.
Who wants to write articles like: ‘top best gadgets of 2026’. It’s soul crushing.
It can get 100 daily views
100 views is a lot.
When starting a blog, there most likely will not be much views, but after you’ve wrote it for some years, you definitely can get 100 daily views.
But the problem with 100 daily views is that it’s too little to make some money from your blog.
100 daily views isn’t a dead blog, but it’s also not profitable.
If you can spare 5€ per month for your creative outlet then blogging makes sense.
600 millions blogs, YouTube and all those platforms are competing for the same eyeballs. Which makes blogging harder, if you want any financial results.
If you can blog without financial gains, then it’s definitely worth it.
Not ‘how to’
When starting a blog, you really don’t have to write ‘how to’ tips or have a niche.
Your life is your niche.
There’s so much pressure to monetize one’s blog, that if you don’t do it – you’re considered a failed blogger.
Due to scarcity of attention, most bloggers won’t get a cut from their ‘work’ even if they tried hard.
That’s how the blogging world works, blogging results are uneven among blogs, top blogs get all the views while other folks get peanuts.
It’s the reality, not something we can do about.
Today companies not only want you to create content for free, but also pay to get seen, which is basically bullshit.
Bugged on me
So, yesterday I tried to make reimagined files of my audiobooks, but the software has bugged on me, because of 2:40 hours it did just 30 minutes of 4K video.
And I am not redoing it and I won’t publish that file, whatever.
Maybe the software doesn’t support longer videos. I used Shotcut.
There was a glitch.
Reimagined
I’m reimagining two of my eBooks, and will be uploading them to my YouTube channel here.
They should finish rendering by tomorrow.
4K visualizer is rendering long.
Either
Today I spent being either in bed or on the computer.
They turned the clock forward by one hour, so days are flying really fast.
Today I did basically nothing, not a prolific day.
Blogging is just free labor
After decades of blogging and vlogging I can say that it is just free labor.
Most people do not get any money from their blogs or vlog channels.
This ‘start a blog or vlog to make money’ idea is just bullshit because blogs never pay.
You might accept the dream of someday being paid and pursue it all your life, but after 40000 videos and 1000s of blog posts I can firmly say it doesn’t pay a single cent unless you’re lucky to get some donations.
