Description

The mental aspect of starting a blog or podcast: what would I talk about?

Hosting provider: bluehost, dreamhost, godaddy, squarespace

It's like teaching a writing class

Obvious candidates: your skills, hobbies, interests, your job (but you need to be careful if you don't own the business cause you might now know the whole situation)

Brainstorm, mind map, free form writing

What do you want to learn more about? It doesn't even have to be very specific it could be as simple as 'I want to learn how social media works'.

Regional social media. In China: Weibo, WeChat, Bilibili, Douyin, Xiao Hong Shu, Qingting, NetEase, iQiyi, Ximalaya, Kuaishou

Blog, vlog or podcast? Which do you think is easiest for you right now?

I've had the best success when I wanted to learn something because then I don't feel disappointed if no one else likes it. I still learned something along the way.
