Itinerant blog writer
I am an itinerant blog writer now living in Aarhus, Denmark and I will be traveling now in February in the Dominican Republic and I have a month-long trip planned in August to the US starting in Miami. Also looking at a trip during the summer, probably in June by train from Denmark to Germany, Luxembourg, Switzerland, France and Spain and then flying back from Madrid. I am going from a shorter form of writing to a longer form of writing newsletter/articles on LinkedIn/Medium and an ebook.
With time, I will need more help with editing and proofreading with my English and I am not always the most detail oriented. I am using the editing software ProWritingAid for now. I have my “Remote Mobile Office,” - my MacBook Air. together with my iPhone. I write only in English. It's more competitive, but I might reach a larger audience when I have better defined and developed my niche. I only publish on online platforms and the digital marketing I do myself, and I use the payment gateway Stripe, which typically is required by the platforms that pay for content.
The ebook will finish whenever I am ready for it and probably when I feel I have learned more and improved my writing considerably and feel I am ready to write more including fiction maybe. And when I have settled completely in Denmark again including filing my first tax return after moving back. In the meantime I write my social media blog and my method is to reuse the material from the blog and structure it better and rewrite and expand on it for the ebook. In the same way the shorter blog posts for social media I expand on and write and publish newsletter/articles.
Social media blog
Weekly, I post on my social media and my blog site www.johnboyter.com. I try to plan ahead what I am going to post. It is also a day-to-day blog, so I quickly pivot if there is a topic I find interesting or a new challenge turns up. Sometimes, my writing can have a therapeutic effect for me. After writing my blog for the last two years and posting it on social media, I have now decided on my primary niche topic being “healthy lifestyle” around personal development.
I quit drinking over four years ago; at times I was a borderline alcoholic or maybe a functioning alcoholic, depending on how things developed around my business and private life. After quitting drinking, and failing with a business venture, I had a long drawn-out mental health crisis that I have recovered from, and through leading a healthier lifestyle, I work on avoiding a recurrence.
Then last year in June I had a heart attack probably partly because of lifestyle choices in the past and possibly the added stress from failing in business and of course also genetics playing a major part. I exercise more and will work on my diet and include different forms of therapy. I also cover healthy lifestyle while traveling and occasionally write about online business and my digital life which could develop into a second blog around business development. My purpose with my writing is to be entertaining, and maybe the reader can learn something from it or be inspired.
