You run a Cooking or a Travel blog using WordPress or Blogger or another content management system and share on Medium also.

You are over the moon to be able to freely express and manifest your own recipes and travel reviews, and thoughts, feelings and opinions. You are happy to have some followers and run your blog as a hobby or for interest's sake. There are elements of blogging in common with running a Startup.

A startup is a newly emerged business venture that aims to develop a viable business model to meet a marketplace need or problem.

I began blogging with WordPress in 2012 when I launched my Fascinating Animals website or blog. This is my favorite blog and is visited and viewed a lot, I assume especially by students. I started it and I developed it to meet a need or a want for quality interesting information about our animal world.

I respect and am interested in all animals and my background includes completing a Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Biology. My blog is not a “business” in terms of offering products or services for monetary reimbursement, but by being a multiple blogger and a wordsmith I have honed or refined my skills in WordPress blogging and in targeted writing; and I have had a lot of experience with marketing my blogs and finding out what people want.

The screenshot above shows 6 of my WordPress blogs (the Peace in Practice link is to my own website which I created and uploaded to the WWW in 2003) and these include “Stop Fires in Australia” which aims to provide information to mitigate and prevent fires and an avenue for discussion on such, Book Reviewers International through which I offer a free service to review published non-fiction works and provide space for others to post their book reviews.

After a lifetime of doubting myself because of my personal Life experiences, a light bulb has come on, and it is illuminating the fact that I feel proud of myself for providing useful, entertaining and good quality information to a huge number of people on the issues that I especially care about.

I am not “pushing my own boat” so don’t get me wrong, but I am declaring that I am here in the blogging universe, and I have had good feedback about my book reviews and the guidelines on using WordPress that I provide via 2 blogs. As I love writing, I wrote a 75-page document on how to set up and run a free WordPress.com blog, and made it available on “WordPress Guidelines.”

I run these blogs and offer my services and instructions because I want to help and inform others. My audience can be described as the marketplace because they are consumers looking for specific information or advice or questions to answers.

Perhaps you also run a website or a blog outside of WordPress that is popular and which you love and you are very creative with. If you do, you can share it on your Medium profile, or let Medium readers know in your Story that you have certain skills, i.e. in blogging, marketing, researching, writing, reviewing and finding what others want, so that those who “need” to find it, will do so.

There are billions of people in the marketplace and if you declare your interests, experiences, and skills, someone may connect with you, in order to work with you around an activity or an interest, whether that be to help them with writing or with running a cooking show, or something else.

Just because you are not a paid blogger or content creator or a famous person running a social media page, does not mean that YOU are not worth-while. From little things, big things grow.

You have made a start and if your “home” or hobbyist blogging is still going strong, and you are offering great value to some readers, consider that you can offer innovation and leadership and valuable teamwork to someone somewhere, and let the dots connect.
