■ Mindfully monetizing content distribution as an incentive to writing

Planted July 2023·Last tended August 2024

I have a hypothesis, that in the same way that Making part of your notes public brings clarity to the note taking process, mindfully monetizing content distribution could provide a powerful incentive for the writing process. Key considerations:

  • I wouldn’t want to set myself up to be obligated to product a higher volume of content
  • I wouldn’t want to set myself up to create content specific to subscribers
  • However, some form of monetization of my content creation and distribution process would be helpful
  • For a start, there are some costs and there are paid tools I utilize to power my content creation and distribution
  • I don’t want to feel limited by my costs here, as spending more could help me gain more out of the work I am putting in
  • Establishing a new income stream is an appealing thought, and it seem very much within the realm of possibility with my audience and the level of output I have already
  • Therefore, in the same way that Zettelkasten was a slight shift in my note taking process in order to get much more out of it; I believe there could be a slight shift in my writing and distribution process in order to monetize it
  • Succeeding in monetizing would likely also correlate with succeeding in growing my audience at a higher pace, gaining a powerful level of distribution, community, feedback, and enhancing of my writing and thoughts
