I like to ask Grok in between what bigger topic to focus on. This gives me ideas for the future. However, Amazon Ads is something that I only want to start looking into when I’ve got the basic set up of my author platform finished. Maybe it’s a topic for year 2 or even year 3 in the 5-year-project.

In September I’m going to ask Grok for the top 30 writing tips instead. That is certainly a more beginner-friendly topic than paid ads.

A couple of years ago, I tested BitChute, Odyssee and Rumble. I couldn’t find traction with tutorials or video essays. It seems like these platforms are primarily made for creators and audiences who where booted from YouTube after the 2016 election.

Sadly, YouTube definitely needs a good competitor to do better.

Livestreaming is very far at the end of my to-do-list. Without a basic audience it might be just a waste of time. I once had a podcast about fitness and nutrition in German. I didn’t really go through the roof and it never created a good funnel for podcast-listeners to check out the website and books about fitness and health that I had back then.

So, find an audience first, livestream later.
