If you want to make a living out of writing in the future, like me, I believe long-form content is where you should focus. Platforms such as Twitter are great for finding people in your niche. However, my research shows that it's essential that you b...

Wow! Thanks a ton for this insightful article, Akos.

I had never really thought of this before. You have opened my eyes. Always wanted to turn some of my deep insightful Twitter threads into blog articles but never really did it.

Thanks! This has been an eye-opener.

You're welcome, Ronald. I'm happy you got something out of this. I hope this will help you achieve - or better define- your content creation goals.

I totally agree with the points you mentioned. Have experienced the same. Well written :)

I'm happy this resonated with you, Aakansha. Thanks :)

Hi Ákos,

thank you for your inspiring article! It motivates me to invest more time writing in-depth articles as well!

I like the comparison of blog posts to tweets. The Internet has become a space of mostly short-lived, low-quality content. Sadly, people seem to love that. The algorithms like it as well. Same thing happening in other forms of media (very short videos, i.e. stories, TikTok).

Let's take back ownership of the Internet. It was designed as a decentralized system, not as a space where a few big players own all the content.

Blogs FTW :D

Hi Constantin!

Thanks for the kind words. 🙏

Focusing on long-term content in a world where attention span is continuously decreasing might seem counterintuitive.

But if I want to make money selling my book or my paid newsletter, the people I gather through viral tweets wouldn't buy any of those.

This is why I believe it's essential to go the other way around, write that book, publication, or high-quality blog first, then introduce it to people.
