The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker – two of these are skills/hobbies almost anyone can take up and make a living of. I have three crafts I'd love to learn and live off. Don't get me wrong; I love doing social media, but keeping my hands busy and creating...

Build an audience hungry for more

I started an internship this year, that turned into the best job I've had all my life 🙂 Part of what I do is write the occasional blog post, like this one about creating content that bring your readers back. I'm not sure if I'm practicing this particular sermon, but...
