Dear Financial Influencers, Please Stop

Back in 2019, I started a personal finance blog. I decided to call it Millionaire by Next Year. I thought by starting a blog I would finally find success as an entrepreneur. Four years later, I’m nowhere closer to becoming a millionaire. And I’m beginning to wonder whether or not the “successful” bloggers I followed when I got started are actually making the amount of money they claim they do. What I gained during that period of time, instead, is a wealth of knowledge. I learned how to build my own website. Write content. And even got a couple of articles to organically rank on Google without doing any SEO. I want to keep the project going — to prove to myself I can build a successful blog — but I don’t have the heart anymore. At some point in the journey, I realized the goal of a personal finance blog isn’t to show off your writing talent. It’s to sell products. That’s the business I had gotten myself into. Not writing. Sales. That wouldn’t be a terrible proposition if I believed in the products I was supposed to be selling. But I didn’t then and I still don’t now. <a href="https://amandaclaypool.medium.com/dear-financial-influencers-please-stop-cb40e611dc53">Visit Now</a>
