My Next Steps

I’ve been writing and blogging about midlife for over ten years. It’s been personally rewarding and frustrating at times. When I started, I had to learn how to create a website on WordPress, I had no knowledge and learned about plugins, security and hosting crashes. Then I learned about reach, the obstacles that social media puts in front of all of us and the impossibility of gaining subscribers through the WordPress site simply because people just don’t want to create WordPress accounts. WordPress accounts are not useful.

I’m still keeping my website up and running and will continue to write content, however I have also created a Substack. If you’re unfamiliar with this channel, it’s very similar to Medium. It allows writers to easily enable people to follow them and to create a stronger community. In today’s world, this is needed now more than ever. My plan is to offer the Substack content for free, and maybe additional future content behind a paywall. I’m not there yet. There will always be free content, similar to what I’m writing today and you can continue to find me on current channels.

But

If you don’t want to miss a post and would consider following me on Substack, I’d be honored.

Love,
