note Practice Record: A Story of the 'Experience' of Expanding Awareness

Thanks to everyone, about 50 days have passed since I started note.

With gratitude, I would like to write down the history since the start.

Frustrating days of wondering what to write to be effective

Two years have passed since I started a blog on WordPress.

Although I continued to post on three blogs and social media, I spent days feeling hazy, wondering, "What should I write to rank higher in searches?" and "When will my target audience read this?"

Even if I write articles, it takes time to rank high in SEO, and I don't get immediate reactions.

In this lonely battle, I was starting to lose sight of the joy of sharing.

Encounter with a note course

At that time, I received information about a "note course" introduced by someone.

"Perhaps I can get some hints here..." I decided to participate, albeit half-doubting.

This was the "beginning of my adventure."

The note course instructor who accurately teaches the tips

In the course, I was carefully taught how to write specifically for note, how to connect with readers, and tips for posting.

The strengths of note are that you can get reactions easily like on social media, long-form posts are okay, and you can also be found through Google searches.

As if guided by a "sage," I took a step into the world of note.

I am truly grateful to the instructor.

Thank you for teaching me so carefully.

Steady posting, and the first reaction

At first, I was anxious, wondering, "Will anyone really read this?"

Even so, I believed in what I was taught and continued to write articles steadily every day.

Eventually, my 'likes' and 'follows' gradually increased, and I began to challenge myself with events and prompts within note.

Interactions with fellow creators also emerged, and the fun doubled.

Facing the impatience of not seeing immediate results

Unlike SEO on WordPress, while note has SNS-like diffusion power, 'it doesn't mean you'll get big results right away.'

I learned the importance of suppressing my impatience and steadily building things up.

By jumping into new places for encounters myself, trust and connections were born little by little.

My heart trembles at my first 'tip'

About 40 days after starting note.

One day, a notification pinged, and my first 'tip' arrived.

The amount was 100 yen. But that 100 yen was packed with irreplaceable feelings of 'I found value in your article' and 'I want to support you.'

It was a moment where I received 'value' and 'confidence' that exceeded the monetary amount.

As a member of the note community, days of enjoying posting

Now, I actively participate in note events and creative awards, and I enjoy my daily life as a member of the note community.

Interactions with readers and fellow creators have become my daily motivation.

WordPress is the fun of carefully nurturing through SEO, while note is the best of both worlds between SNS and blogs.

I continue to post while leveraging the charms of both.

Summary

I am grateful for the environment that allowed me to focus on starting note anew this time.

I don't think such an opportunity comes around very often.

And I felt that there are realizations and growth that can only be gained by 'actually trying it out' rather than just 'knowing' about it.

It is very important not just to understand things intellectually, but to actually move your hands and take action.

Even though I thought I knew about posting on note as 'knowledge,' it was only after I actually started that I realized there is value that can only be gained through real experience, such as the feeling of awareness spreading, reactions from readers, and the thrill of receiving tips.

My message to you is that 'trying things out expands your world' and 'true change only happens when you take action.'

I want you to experience the courage to take that first step, as well as the growth and joy that come from continuing.

I am also wavering day by day, but I value 'sharing my true self.' I would be happy if we could walk through those days together, gently.

Thank you for reading until the end.

If anything resonated with you, please let me know with a 'like' or a comment.
