Kia ora Luigi, I hope you can find your niche between the writing that pays and the writing that makes your heart sing! It's such a bind - and I'm sorry things are getting more difficult to find the right place for your obviously very diverse skillset. I actually really admire the kind of writing you've done in previous mahi, I have way more experience writing policy and research but have always been daunted by more of the copywriting stuff, it's an awesome skill. At the end of the day so much writing is just genre eh. Hey, I am trying to organise a zoom for people who might be thinking about moving to Ghost, if you want to join I'll let you know when. have a great Waitangi day.

Thanks, Nadine. I'd love to join the zoom if I can. I had a bit of a look at Ghost. One of the things for me is the minimum subscription. I guess if you can pull your readers from other platforms, that's a plus. I have readers in multiple blogs on Wordpress as well, so it would be good to consolidate. Need to understand the value proposition of why go there, other than politics.

I had to understand that too (the value proposition) and for me it was a no brainer - as I need to sell my zines and also just have a more static internet present. Looks way nicer too. I think that you can definitely consolidate - taking readers is probably the easier part of the task, it's just importing membership lists across.
