The side-hustle. Why I am starting to write on Medium.

This writing piece is just for me, but there may be some value in the future, who knows.

Advice:
This piece won’t probably represent anything of value for anyone except myself.

I know this is something everyone, literally anyone who knows anything about Medium, suggests to avoid.

But I think I need to write down and make public what I am doing.

Writing here is like the side hustle of the side the side-hustle of my primary side-hustle. No kidding. But I will explain.

I am an engineering student and iOS developer (a freelancer, but I’m about to start my company with other people).

On the side, I have a print on demand business going (sort of, but it makes me around $1000 / month).
This year I also started making videos, something I wanted to do for a long time and created a course about getting started with print on demand.

And now I’m here, talking about how I am already doing too much stuff simultaneously, and I’d like to start another while I am also starting this.

The truth is that I don’t know what I want, and I think it’s too soon to make videos (I’m aware is just an excuse, so I’m setting here, right now, March as a deadline to start).

I think I know what I am doing.

I’m Italian, and I want to make videos in English, so I’m using it to get better at writing in English and get used to writing for an audience.

I want to make engineering projects, possibly not just shitty robots, but something that doesn’t stop at videos (this is where my job comes in).

It all ties together, I think. We’ll see.

2021 is just starting, and I feel like this has to be the year when I make stuff happen, when I start working really hard.

I want to publish one article every day, and since I only have another one ready, it’s a bad idea to start publishing it now.

But the real thing is, waiting doesn’t make anything happened.
