I think you oughta challenge yourself regarding the niche-trapped idea.
You have a great conversational writing style and I’d imagine that means you could make other topics you cover interesting and fun to read about.
Allow yourself to get personal.
Although my focus is on topics that are metaphysical, I usually, twice a month, at the end of one of my posts, share with my readers and comment on what I am watching on TV, what I am reading, what I am listening to, and maybe some insights about things I’ve noticed politically or socioculturally. I’ll also include photographs from the island I live on. And of course pictures of my cat.
People like that kinda stuff, and it makes them feel more up on who you are as a person. It creates a different sort of bond or connection.
Thank you for publishing the question and for your honesty!
On the workplace comradery while self-employed side... one of the best decisions I made (self-employed, living in the 'burbs, lots of family commitments) was to work one day a week from a coworking space by me that offers day rates + stopping by a coffee shop nearby which has a crew of regulars. Makes a world of difference.
One of your best posts Simon.
