Rookie’s guide to starting a Newsletter

Writing this beginner’s summary of how I stumbled upon the idea of starting a blog of my own. I believe, every story deserves a good beginning as where exactly the end would be, no one knows. So here I am pouring my heart out for the readers and to share some of my experiences with others.

It all started with an idea, to be more precise, a resolution that I had made during the start of 2023. The overall goal was to build a reputation, a self brand by the end of 2023 with no idea whatsoever on how it will happen. I just knew that with enough dedication and motivation, anything is possible. But not everything goes as planned, right?

It took me 8 months and 6 days to gather enough motivation to even get started on the resolution and to find a suitable platform to do the same. Now since I’ve decided to start, this is my first entry to the series of more to come.

During my search for the perfect platform, I was faced with numerous options. The decision wasn't easy and required careful consideration. I had to take into account factors such as the target audience, platform reach, ease of content writing, manageability in terms of sharing and the possibility of networking. Each of these aspects was crucial in creating a substantial network, which I believe opens up multiple opportunities.

My ideal platform needed to have a community of working professionals to connect and converse with, helping me grow my network. I also wanted a collective repository for all my writings, making it easier to share and express my thoughts. Since I preferred organic growth without any financial investment, my choices were limited.

Ultimately, I decided LinkedIn was the perfect tool for my blogging journey. It met all my requirements and seemed like a promising platform to start my blogging adventure. This is my first entry, a small step towards achieving my goal, with many more to come. I'm excited to share my experiences and connect with readers through this journey.

Hoping these words add some value to someone's life and help them by any means.
