This is my 3rd month in a row of daily blogging. Since January 1st, I published an article every single day. That makes this the longest streak of writing – 90 interrupted days.

The Daily Stroll To The End Of The World

February 3, 2021February 3, 2021 by Dragos Roua
coffee

It’s still dark when I get up, because it’s still winter around here. You wouldn’t say, because temperature-wise we’re lucky, it’s a normal day, not too cold, not too hot. It’s 7AM, you can barely see around, so I’m moving slowly in my small attico, unfolding my morning routine: the usual cleanup, then a short … Read more

Is It Still Worth Promoting Your Blog On Facebook Or Instagram? An Experiment

January 16, 2021January 16, 2021 by Dragos Roua

A few months ago I started a promotion experiment. I wanted to see if Facebook / Instagram are still worthy of that, or – as my hunches were telling me – these outlets are already so opaque that they don’t even serve their initial purpose, which is connecting people.

At the beginning of 2020, Steve Pavlina announced on his Facebook account he will do a 365 days blogging challenge. He also asked if other people will join.
