I have observed something interesting. And that goes for all my social media/side-businesses. A completely new thing, previously unseen by the algorithm, is rewarded instantly. What I mean by this. I have automated my work and shrunk it into a number of templates that I tweak here and there. And the growth was small orContinue reading “Current trend?”

When everything is slow
So summers for me are always slow. I do not complain about it. I enjoy this time in a way. I am free. On holidays. Don’t have to run around sorting out a million things. This year was pretty brutal in terms of revenue. Everything that has been taking off or started to take offContinue reading “When everything is slow”
Toxic people will always be toxic, so just carry on with your own journey, regardless
And what about them? This might be a very unusual post, but it might be useful to someone who is like me. I was always torn between two feelings with regard to social media: I disliked the fact that people, I do not particularly like, and they don’t like me, will be looking at myContinue reading “Toxic people will always be toxic, so just carry on with your own journey, regardless”
Create and find your tribe, even in the unsettled times
Let’s not go all doom and think about what the real point is in creating today. The times are really strange, to say the least. Not mentioning the AI, the society’s ethos in general is simply weird.

My Q4 and going forward
In my past posts, I have been complaining about my low sales during Q4, while everyone else is having the best time of the year. This time, it’s different.

Starting 2025, still not retired. If you have been following me, you know that I have been trying to do that with the help of my numerous side hassles.

Summer tends to be a quiet time
Summer tends to be a quiet time, at least on the surface. I am looking at my numbers and again, as every year – I am not happy with them. I know the economy is not great but really, I don’t like to make any excuses for myself and I rather look at things asContinue reading “Summer tends to be a quiet time”

Testing social media algo :)
Every year, by the time August comes, I review all my activities and I start thinking about the Christmas market. Not so last year. Well, we all know that it was a very atypical year. Nothing planned worked and frankly, I got dispirited by it all. I thought to myself that no one is goingContinue reading “Testing social media algo :)”
Find your local role…
Just one experience from last week. I feel that local community is more important than ever. I know hat most of us are online for many hours and connecting with the ‘global village’. I have realised that internet always takes me mile away to different continents which is lovely but I do have less andContinue reading “Find your local role…”
