That's a good question. I am an OG online business and marketing educator, coach and trainer for entrepreneurs. Did that more than full time in the decade of my twenties. Built multiple training platforms and had created several social media platform specific marketing training products back in the day (FB, IG, Twitter, video marketing) Then I got burned out and went on a quite a long sabattical. And for a big chunk of that time kept in touch with my audience, and slowly transitioning to sharing more about my spiritual healing journey. It took me a while to feel into how it is that I want to get out there in the world again and be of service, provide offerings and in return receive needed provision and ideally experience prosperity. And multiple times I was starting to slowly dip my toes and experimenting rebuilding a brand, trying what works... Last I'd actually experienced some IG reels gaining just a bit of traction and had begun getting $$ coming in from my creative endeavours. I could have kept going down the content creator path in that way.

I didn't stick to it.... Once I discovered Nostr I got pulled down the rabbit hole that connected with my higher deeper purpose and mission path and had been the answer to the research and questions I'd been asking... It also felt more resonant to what I'd been meditating for a while on that was me seeking to attune to what I call "new earth vocational frequencies".

Anyhow. The question is could I have been fulfilling my needs for creating, establishing and having streams of income by sticking to using legacy social media than going down an idealistic rabbit hole into the mystery, the unknown and away from conventional culture that hasn't come with that - like a working proven model to getting paid? Am I making any sense? One brings security, the other pushes toward thinking outside the box, activating innovative mind and creative life force energy, and it's volatile (the other can of course also be gone I'm flash too).
