A 'Side Hustle of Writing' Started Casually, Like Home Cooking

Let's try starting a 'side hustle of writing'.
That was the decision I made, and the first place I chose was note.

The reason is very simple.

・The hurdle to monetization is low
・If you are serious about increasing your income, there are many paths for trial and error

…Well, this is something many people have already said.

I want to talk about this by grounding it more in daily life.
If possible, from the perspective of a homemaker.If you view 'writing' as an extension of your daily lifeI think you can feel the appeal of note more realistically.

[Review] The appeal of note

note is something anyone can start casually if they have the feeling of 'let's give it a try'.

Because,

All you need isthe desire to 'write and share'your own feelings.

Looking at the leftovers in the fridge and thinking, 'Maybe I'll make omurice today.'
It's the same feeling as that.
After all, you've already decided, 'I'm going to make a meal'.
All that's left is to start cooking using what you already have.

If the finished omurice has a torn egg or the ketchup rice is a bit bland, it doesn't matter.
note is a place where you can casually serve home cooking.
In fact, your unique flavor might just reach the hearts of your readers.

The day you get an unexpected 'thank you' for your home cooking

You don't ask for payment for the home-cooked meals you make at home, right?
If I had to say, I'd at least want to hear a 'that was delicious'...

On note, sometimes people don't read your work, or it doesn't reach them.
But occasionally,when you get a 'like', it feels like someone said, 'That was delicious, thank you for the meal'and it makes me so happy.

If someone leaves a comment and even follows me,
it feels like they said, 'I'll come back to eat again!', and I'm secretly overjoyed.

When you share your writing while enjoying it at your own pace like that, you sometimes get a 'tip'.
An unexpected reward that you can't get from the smartphone app (for now), only from the smartphone browser or computer users.
…Actually, I haven't received one yet, though.

Just thinking about it is dreamy.
To think that you could get a tip for your own homemade cooking.

It's easy to achieve that 'aim for 0 to 1'

You love cooking, and your family praises your skills.
People like that'I wish I could get paid for this'often think that, don't they?

If you are serious about aiming for monetization, you might think about posting consistently on recipe blogs or social media, or perhaps starting a small deli or food truck with a friend.

However, that always requires either initial capital or persistent, long-term effort. Many people give up because of this barrier.

But with note, you can make what you have written so far available for purchase with a single click. There is no need to subscribe to a paid plan.

You might be able to earn some pocket money without changing your current posting style.
That is equivalent to having no initial hurdles to monetization.

Moreover, you can set the price starting from 100 yen.
Readers are also more likely to think, If it's 100 yen, I'll buy it as a way to support them.

It feels like cooking meals for your family every day and setting up a piggy bank just to see what happens, only to find they occasionally drop 100 yen in.

The day a 'little business' begins from home cooking

The feeling of earning money from something you created.
This might just become addictive.

'How can I reach more readers?'
'What kind of writing style makes it easier to gain empathy?'
'What kind of article themes would people actually buy?'

The moment you start thinking about that, you have already moved beyond the realm of home cooking.
You are no longer satisfied with the silent meals of your family.

Being conscious of your readers means being conscious of your customers.

If you think, 'I want to attract more customers,' you might start promoting on social media, or you might start reading and interacting with other creators' articles.

Titles, thumbnails, and hashtags are also starting to be improved to catch people's eyes.Profiles are being refined, and you have even started thinking about flow design within note.

You even start thinking about posting times that make it easier to get read.

This is already...
proof that you have decided to leave home and open 'your own shop'.

Actually, I am in this state right now.
Dreaming of a thriving business, I am working hard on opening preparations.
I am struggling daily while strategizing with my assistant manager, ChatGPT.

If there is anyone else out there saying, 'I'm working hard on my opening preparations too!', I would love to support you.

Aiming for a 24-hour shop with a never-ending line, I will keep writing today as well.

Well then, good night. See you tomorrow.

Thank you for reading until the end ☺️

If you 'Like,' 'Comment,' or 'Follow,' I will interpret it in the most convenient way possible and be happy, thinking:
'Are they a fellow traveler?'
'Are they supporting me?'
'Did they decide to watch over me as a senior?'
