Hi everyone,

So, my name is Tim. I am 26 years old and from Germany.

I've been (unsuccessfully) trying to make a living blogging for about 5 years. At the time, I discovered blogging and immediately fell in love with it. In the meantime, I got involved in different businesses, but somehow always 'returned' to blogging.

Yeah.. the passion thing. I know. I've read that thread in the Gold section.

My last 'venture' was that I moved to Iran at the time of the nuclear deal. I thought that I could establish a content marketing agency here for all the European businesses that were supposed to flood the Iranian market.

I basically came here on a student visa for an MA in Iranian Studies, learning Farsi and meanwhile trying to make that business happen.

Well, that didn't quite work out. I just wasn't ready for the difficulty of the task, I suppose.

So again, I am back to my blog.

Well, I am planning to move back to Germany for the first time in seven years. Meanwhile, I have somehow set my mind on what I am planning to do next in terms of trying to monetize my blog: a membership platform.

I'm running a small publication on Medium. It is not a huge thing but it has a small dedicated following. I would like to build from that and offer a paid membership on an external platform, but still figuring out the specifics of that.

I guess that was enough from my side.

Cheers,
Tim
