The Only Way To Get Started As A Creator In 2022

Want to be a creator in 2022? Don’t start a blog.

This time last year I decided I wanted to start a blog. I wrote a few posts, I even joined a 28 blogging challenge and managed to write 14 blogs.

Then I wrote nothing for 3 months.

My creator career was quickly going the way all my previous ones had, to the cemetery of broken creator dreams.

But then I started to see these image essays on Twitter. They made me stop in my feed. They were interesting, colourful & I found some of my favourite people by reading those first essays.

I was hooked and that’s the story of how I joined ship30for30.

Since then I’ve written over 200 of those same colourful essays. And I’m convinced that the atomic essay is the best way to get started as a creator in 2022. Here’s why:

A Go-To Writing Practice. Atomic essays have become my go to daily writing practice. 250 words is small enough that they are ideal for a daily practice.

Collect Datapoints Fast. Instead of a few blogs, I have over 200 essays that I have data points for on what my audience likes & dislikes to read from me.

They compound. The first 30 was a slog. The next 100 seemed to take forever. But 200 just flew by. And imagine having hundreds of essays by the end of next year? How good would that feel?

In-built community. Of course, you could just start writing these essays but the real magic is in the community. A bunch of people moving in the same direction as you & ready to cheer you on? Better than writing that blog post in the dark I reckon.

From one previous wannabe to another, come join the ship & finally make your creator dream come true.
