Can you guide me on what I should be blogging about?
Ok, full disclosure, this is not my first #introduceyourself post. I’m tagging this one again for 3 reasons:
- I didn’t post a verification photo to prove who I am before. (see above, check!)
- I can’t edit my original post now (I didn’t realise these things had an expiry date!). You can see that post here.
- I forgot to ask you guys for guidance on what I should be blogging about! This is the main purpose of this post today.
I love how Steemit is community driven and focuses on rewarding great content. I’d like to contribute to that where I can, but the last thing I want to do is spam you with posts of no interest or value. Therefore, I would really appreciate your feedback on what you would want to read/learn about going forward.
There are a few areas that I have interests and experience in which I have outlined below for context.
Me with fellow co-founder Sir Ray Avery
The Entrepreneur
I am the founder and CEO of a company called Jupl. This is my third business venture. The other two failed and provided valuable learning experiences! We have been going for 5 years now, we have 20 staff in 2 countries and are valued at over $20M to date (dictated by private equity rounds).
I have raised millions of dollars in capital funding including major strategic investors such as our national carrier and a global health insurance company.
I have taken technology products to market through blue-chip channel partners and I have grown a team from 0 to 20, talented and strong minded individuals.
I continually get asked to advise budding entrepreneurs of tech start-ups, so this might be an area where I could add a lot of value on Steemit.
Me with one of my heros, Bix Wier
The Crypto Enthusiast
For about a year now I’ve been learning about, and investing in, Bitcoin and ‘Altcoins’. Firstly, I truly believe that cryptocurrencies offer a viable alternative to the existing banking system. This is what led me to exploring Bitcoin in the first place. I also believe that blockchain is a game changing technology much like the internet and the printing press.
I’ve experienced ICO investing, HODLing and trading. Overall I’ve done pretty well at all of them. However, let’s face it, a monkey could have done well investing and trading in crypto last year! 😃
Given my technical background I’ve really delved into the technical side of blockchain and cryptocurrencies (I’m an electrical engineer, majoring in Digital Signal Processing and Telecommunications). I understand master-nodes, proof-of-work, proof-of-stake, centralised and decentralised exchanges, hardware wallets etc.
I doubt I would add much value advising on trading except to share my experiences to date. However, I could potentially add value on the technical support side and certainly on the ICO investing side given my entrepreneurial background.
The ‘Libertarian’
I don’t really like labelling myself or others but I guess this is the best way to describe my stance on social and political issues (we all have a bias!). No doubt I will want to weigh in on Steemit posts/discussions on such matters!
In fact it wasn’t until I attended Anarchapulco this year that I really discovered the Steemit community.
Terry Brock did a great job MC’ing that event and it’s thanks to him that I got involved with Steemit. In fact, he kindly gave me this post template 👍
For those interested I would highly recommend looking into the Fund Your Freedom course hosted by Terry and his partner Gina Carr.

I also feel like I should give a shout out to Jerry Banfield as I have found his videos on Steemit very educational.
I guess I could share my experiences on Steemit but the real tips are probably best left to Jerry, Terry and Gina 😉
My boys cruising in Fiji
The Family Guy
Of course, I’m also married with 2 young children and have interests from food, to travel, to sports.
No doubt I’ll throw in the odd post on my day-to-day life especially on topics I feel strongly about, such as this one relating to my son’s supposed ADHD!
Where should I focus?
Based on the above, I would really appreciate it if you guys could provide feedback on what you would like to find out about more. Even a simple comment stating a topic per those below would be great. You may even get an upvote 😉
- Business/Entrepreneurship
- Crytpo/Technical/Trading
- Political and Social Commentary
- Day-to-Day Life
Thanks again and I look forward to carrying on the discussion.
Take care,
Alan
