Thanks for the helpful and informational advice, mate. I've just Googled around to see what Wordpress is about, and I suppose $4 a month for hosting my very own blog isn't a huge price to pay at all. But you're right about there being more competition out there, and it circles back to my question of whether $4/month is going to be worth it if I'm going to make next to nothing in the first year, perhaps?
Nevertheless, this is still something that I'd want to explore more in my free-time, as I learn a bit here and there over the dynamics around this. I'll keep spreading my talents on sites like Hive for now, as I begin to understand more. In all though, I'd love for an opportunity to work with you.
Cheers, a love <3
