Thanks for the reply. What was it like starting a blog?



Hm, wasn't too exciting.

I wrote some articles about topics I worked with. React, Webpack, JavaScript, etc.

I think, I was lucky in many ways.

I started blogging 2017 at dev.to when everyone with a name was blogging at medium, so there wasn't much competition.

I wrote beginner articles about front-end topics, that hit a nerve. So getting in the top 7 post of the week a few times helped with motivation.

I posted almost every week in 2017.

Took over two years until companies wanted to pay me to write for them.


Very interesting. Thanks for the detailed reply. I guess I just have to write the first post.
