🌿Vol.1 Where should I post? How do I attract an audience?
🌱What I moved forward with next
While talking with AI, the next things I thought about were, "Where should I post information?" and "How do I attract an audience?"
What is it that I can do? I don't really dislike writing. So, maybe I could write a blog? That's what I thought.
☘️Can you really make money with a blog?
Is it too late to start a blog now?
What is this "note" I keep seeing? How is it different from Ameblo?
I threw those questions at the AI.
The AI told me that if I want to start for free, "building up your writing on note" is what fits the current era. It seems that "diary x knowledge sharing" type notes have been growing recently, and rather than being "interaction-focused" like Ameblo, it has become a place to create your own worldview. The name "Hatena Blog" also came up. I didn't know it, but it seems to be a free service that has been popular with long-time bloggers. However, according to the AI, WordPress is the top choice when considering monetization and design flexibility.
"First, accumulate articles on note -> eventually WordPress too..." The AI proposed such a step-by-step flow.
🌳Healing Sounds x Blog x Instagram
To me, who thought "it might be difficult to make a profit with just a blog," the AI gave me this advice.
"It might be difficult to make a profit with just a blog"—.
To me, who was thinking that way, the AI gave me this advice.
"If you make your favorite things the theme, it's easier to keep it up for a long time."
Suddenly, a feeling like something had "clicked" rushed through me.
I couldn't help but ask, "How about using healing sounds as a theme and combining it with a blog, videos, and social media?"
The AI's answer was this:
"If you continue systematically, you can expect realistic monetization in half a year."
I see... Not just a blog, but a combination of healing sounds x videos x Instagram.
Not just text, but sounds, scenery, and atmosphere—I might be able to deliver them in my own way.
That was the moment I felt that.
☘️Determination to act
It wasn't about "can I or can't I," but "let's start with what I like." That was the moment I felt that way.
I could take them with my iPhone, but since I'm at it, I want to take them with "good sound." Along with the sound, I want to deliver the fluctuations of nature and the atmosphere.
But, being unemployed now, large expenses are difficult. "Can I afford about 200,000 yen? But can I recover it?" I asked the AI.
The AI provided a profit simulation for blog + YouTube and showed me data that "there are many distributions centered on still images, and few creators who focus on authentic sound."
Hearing that, I thought, "Then, maybe there's a chance," and decided to purchase the equipment.
🌿Working in tandem with AI
Honestly, at that time, I didn't yet understand "how hard it is to record sound."
Recording is influenced by both weather and time, and for me, a person in my 50s who is bad with machines, editing is also a high hurdle.
But, having paid for AI (and ChatGPT = Chappy-kun) and "strengthened my armor," I gained a little confidence.
Whether to use AI for a fee or for free—that decision was also made after reading Mutsuki Abe's book, "AI Utilization Methods for Absolute Beginners to Earn 300,000 Yen a Month in 2 Months."

Next time, it will be about "purchasing equipment." I will write about why I decided on that equipment, including my exchanges with the AI🌿
