Why I Started Blogging

For a long time, I believed I had nothing unique or valuable to share. I often thought, “What could I possibly write about that hasn’t already been said?” But then I came across a quote that completely changed my perspective: There’s no such thing as unique messages, only unique messengers. This really resonated with me. It made me see that while ideas may not be entirely original, the way I interpret and express them is uniquely mine. My personal experiences, insights, and voice are what make my perspective valuable. That was the moment I decided to start blogging.

Overcoming My Hesitations

I had always heard that having a blog was a great way to establish an online presence. It can be a tool for sharing ideas, building connections, and even opening up new opportunities. But despite knowing this, I kept putting it off. The idea of maintaining a blog felt overwhelming, coming up with topics, writing consistently, and handling the logistics seemed like too much effort. However, as I started developing my skills in automation, I began to see things differently. I became intrigued by the idea of creating content in a way that felt effortless yet personal. That’s when I decided to build my own custom GPT, which I named BlogGPT.

Making Blogging Effortless

With BlogGPT, I can simply speak naturally into my phone, and it transforms my thoughts into well-structured, engaging blog posts. This removes the friction that used to hold me back. Instead of spending hours structuring and refining my writing, I can now focus on simply sharing my thoughts and experiences.

Once BlogGPT creates the blog post and I approve it, it sends a POST request to Make.com containing the blog content and metadata. This automation then saves the metadata to a Notion database and the full blog content to a linked Notion page. When the blog is officially published, I update the Notion record to reflect that, triggering another automation that creates a LinkedIn post announcing my new blog. This entire system allows me to streamline my content creation and distribution with minimal manual effort.

This newfound process excites me because it allows me to publish my ideas more consistently. And if even one person finds value in what I share, that makes it all worthwhile.

What You Can Expect from This Blog

Moving forward, I plan to use this blog as a place to document the more personal automations I’m working on. If I create something that doesn’t feel significant enough to feature on my main project page but is still worth sharing, I’ll likely write about it here. I may also explore potential automations that I think others could find useful in their personal lives. Additionally, I might share insights into how I’m using AI in my own workflows and experiments. This blog is meant to be a space where I can share what I’m building, how I’m integrating automation into my daily life, and potentially spark ideas for others who are interested in similar projects. If you’re someone who enjoys seeing how AI and automation can be applied in practical, everyday ways, I hope you’ll find value in what I share. Starting this blog is a new chapter for me, and I’m genuinely excited about the journey ahead. If you’ve ever doubted whether your voice matters, I encourage you to take the leap, because you never know who might get value out of what only you can say.
