It is definitely not what I expected to make as my first post. I have tried many different ventures and I am only 27! I do not have any expectations for how long I will make posts or even the content I will make! I do however have a few points to discuss about making a blog.
Raw information with a human element.
You will likely not pay any attention to the online world if you have not heard of AI. It has caused quite a whirlwind since coming out to the mainstream back in 2022. There are many companies shoving AI down our throats. We can cover it more later. But to me, human writing and thought is more important than ever! I will aim to always make my posts genuine but also give readers good value.
Overwhelming information about blogs
Not my first gig! I attempted a blog like 6 months ago, i made 1 post and forgot about it. That could be a failure but only if I don’t learn from it. Since then, I have learnt more about myself and what kind of content I could produce.

I found myself aligning a lot with the idea of being a polymath, nothing to do with maths! (Failed GCSE maths mind you). The simple definition is someone who has a variety of interests with deep knowledge of a few.
I didn’t want to start a blog, get overwhelmed with information about it and then stop making posts. As someone with many interests, I found I kept starting things and never finishing them!
The small guy making a blog
Having grown up with technology, I have also taken it for a guarantee. The idea that the next iPhone or Samsung will always be better and tech is only going to improve. On paper, that is exactly what happened but now things are starting to slow down. The internet is no longer the wild west , bots account for 50% of traffic and big companies run the internet.
When the idea of a blog came to me again, I got demotivated at this fact. I had told myself there are likely a million bloggers with teams etc and using AI in some way too. I make the decision to stop dealing in theory and write the blog as i see fit. If no one in the online world liked it, at least I can say I like the posts I make and I had fun doing so!
The topic of money
Not the easiest topic, especially in the UK. I get bogged down in prior ventures due to thinking about money. Yes, you need to make an income doing whatever you do but it does not need to be a constant push for income.
For me, on many occasions I was looking at income before giving back enough to people. After some introspection about my skills, I found satisfaction with providing value. I will focus on that before anything else.
What will I post about?
I will make content about pretty much anything I find interesting as a 27 year old male in the uk. I do hope you like what I post.
In the past, I was always told via the internet to ‘niche’ down, pick a good topic and own it ect ect. That doesn’t work for me and I felt it doesn’t work for many others. I have loads of interests, even interests I don’t know about yet.
Thanks for reading my first post 🙂
I hope you like what i post about, you can reach me on my email if you want to discuss whatever.
