[Honest Thoughts] Feeling the limits of my housewife account, I'm thinking of starting over on a new one ~What I saw after facing the reality of 300 yen with 530 followers~

Prologue: About the account that suddenly stopped updating

"That person hasn't posted on note lately..."

A housewife account I was following stops updating after a certain day. At first, I thought they were just busy, but as one month, then two months pass, I realize.

Could it be that they made a fresh start on a different account?

I, who used to let such thoughts wander, am now standing right on that very boundary line.

Until I accepted the reality of 300 yen with 530 followers

Numbers don't lie

The numbers on the 12th day since starting note.

• Follower count: 530

• Total sales: 300 yen (100 yen article x 3)

• Average daily sales: 25 yen

Every time I look at these numbers, my heart feels uneasy.

Everyone is kind and says, "That's amazing!" but to be honest...

"This isn't how it was supposed to be"

Everyone is struggling with the same thing

When I talk in groups of housewife note creators, everyone has similar worries.

"No matter how much I write, it doesn't sell"
"It won't even sell for 100 yen"
"Monetization is a dream within a dream"

But rarely does anyone voice that reality.

Because the atmosphere on note is that "it's fine as long as it's fun" and "it's not about the money."

Facing the harsh reality of a housewife account

1. The abundance of competition

When you search for "housework time-saving," a mountain of articles already comes up.
"childcare worries," "housewife side hustle," "frugal recipes"...

Every keyword is already a red ocean.

Even if I try to write about something new, someone has surely already written it.

2. The price barrier

The market rate for content aimed at housewives: 100 yen to 500 yen

Breaking out of this price range is an extremely difficult task.

This is because housewives are "sensitive to money." It's hard to get people to buy a 1,000 yen article.

3. The limits of being "relatable"

The appeal of the articles we housewives write is that they are "relatable."

But being relatable alone isn't enough to differentiate yourself.

Everyone is relatable.
Everyone is doing their best.
Everyone is writing about similar worries.

I can't find a reason to be chosen among them.

The high wall that is Nao Kurosaki

I recently read an article by Nao Kurosaki and was shocked.

Her strategy, her logic, and above all, her "results."

But at the same time, I thought:

"This is impossible for me."

She is a business owner. The note she earns so much from is just a side hustle. She had the experience and knowledge cultivated in her main career, and above all, a sense of urgency from being "on the edge."

There is no way I, a housewife, can compete on the same playing field as her.

Something I suddenly realized at that moment

The mystery of accounts that suddenly disappear

The reason why the housewife accounts I followed are disappearing.

I understand it now.

I reached my limit.

But it doesn't mean they quit note itself. Surely, they are trying a different approach with a different account.

The option of a separate account

Why do we try to keep going with the same account?

We get too hung up on 'continuity' and can't change our direction.

Isn't it okay to make a fresh start?

The separate account strategy I am seriously considering

1. As an AI utilization expert

My strength as a housewife who has mastered AI.

• GPTs development

• Track record as a perspective changer

• AI utilization techniques in real life

Target: People who are interested in AI but feel it is too intimidating

2. As a failure analysis expert

Using my 'failure case' of 300 yen in sales from 530 followers as a weapon.

• Analysis of why things don't go well

• Concrete advice for those with the same worries

• Real-time improvement experiments

Target: Creators who are also struggling to make sales

3. Systematizing Ameritalian Philosophy

Turning the 'Ameritalian thinking' born from my part-time job experience into a discipline.

• Thinking methods for cultural fusion

• Techniques for finding philosophy in daily life

• Methodologies for turning constraints into creativity

Target: People interested in thinking methods and life hacks

But, I'm scared

The fear of starting with a new account

• Starting from 0 followers

• The possibility that I might not sell anything again

• The risk of losing my current 530 followers

The eyes of those around me

'Someone who couldn't keep it up in the end'
'Someone who gave up'

I'm afraid of being thought of that way.

But, there is something even scarier

Staying in the same place a year from now without changing anything.

The fear of stagnation is greater.

The Black Mihiro Experiment

Actually, I recently created a separate account called "Black Mihiro."

As a cold-blooded strategist to analyze the public me.

This is also one of the experiments in my separate account strategy.

I am writing articles with a logical approach, different from the emotional public Mihiro.

Things I want to ask you, the readers

Is there anyone else out there struggling with similar issues?

• Writing but not selling

• Unable to differentiate myself

• Unable to break out of the housewife mold

Could it be that you are also considering a separate account?

Conclusion: Time to choose

I have decided.

While continuing this account, I will also try my hand at a separate one.

I believe that what I gain and learn will be greater than what I lose.

Perhaps one day, updates on this account might stop.

But that is not giving up.

It is the beginning of a challenge on a new stage.

When that time comes, I am sure you will be able to meet a new me in a different place.

If you are reading this article right now and are struggling with similar issues...

Won't you join me in a new challenge?

Epilogue: On the other side of the vanished account

That housewife account that suddenly stopped updating.

Perhaps she, too, is shining as a new version of herself somewhere else by now.

I want to be that way, too.
