I’ve been writing reviews since my Reddit days, and I posted a couple here on Lemmy (primarily Mecha anime). However, since I can’t post for reddit for reasons I don’t want to into detail for and since Lemmy is too small, I’m thinking about just making my own website to post reviews on. So should I go for it? What should I know before doing it?
It would be a serious challenge to get traffic.
Advice I was given that I think applies here: get your adience first (Discord buddies or whatever, your preexisting connections maybe, or start finding a large set of web buddies on whatever platform), then curate your content to them.
Even with that though, I have a hard time imagining paying or suffering ads just to read someone’s reviews.
But hey, if you’re entertaining enough and market well enough, anything is possible ~ At the worst maybe it will be a good first failire as you build skills and respurces for a future success.
