The 30-Day Substack Sprint: From Cybersecurity Audits to Multi-Niche Authorship

Reigniting my writing fire across AI, marketing, side-hustle, and more

Hello everyone

I know I have been very quiet lately, but I am back focusing on writing publicly again, so what's been going on with you?

The Hustle Never Stops

Well, let me first say my love for writing has not faded. It's just that I don't get paid for writing now. It would be nice, but it is not what I get paid for.

In my day job, I have been preparing for an audit. Let me explain - I work in cybersecurity in the finance sector.

As you may have noticed, much of my writing has been about cybersecurity, although the focus has been on AI, which is near and dear to my heart. But when the bills need to be paid, WE DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO, and honestly, preparing for federal audits would always come first as it serves two purposes:

1. Ensured that my client continues to do business

2. Help me ensure that I can still bring in the bacon by DOING WHAT THE CLIENT NEEDS DONE !!! :-)

Multiple Income Streams

Although I do focus on multiple sources of income, which I will discuss in later articles, the bulk of my income comes from my fintech gig.

So, with that said, I thought I owed you an explanation of where I have been. But more importantly, I want to share where I'm heading next.

30 Days of Writing: Let's Gooooo!

While my day job keeps me busy, I'm ready to reignite my passion for writing and sharing ideas with you all. That's why I'm excited to announce a new challenge I'm setting for myself: a 30-day writing plan to get back in the writing mood.

Now, let's dive into what you can expect in the very near future.

Why 30 days of writing?

Well, 30 days of writing short to medium-size articles or posts would get me back into the writing spirit, although I write a lot about security policies, procedures, tech, regulations, and compliance stuff at work.

That is not where my heart lies, and that would serve no purpose here, but the purpose of the 30 days of writing is to ensure that I get enough data to theme out this multi-niche substack accordingly.

The idea of this multi-niche substack is to get things I know and want to write about out of my head while ensuring that you guys who read my articles also receive value from a multi-niche substack or blog.

I have spoken about this before and why I think this is the way we should be gearing our content in the near future, as I don't think totally niching out is relevant at all times.

What's On The Menu?

I will continue writing about AI, Cybersecurity, Spirituality, Entrepreneurship, and Writing & Marketing. These are the topics that truly fascinate me and where I feel I can provide unique insights and perspectives.

AI

Artificial intelligence isn't just a fancy buzzword anymore; it's changing the game in so many real-world ways. But here's the thing - we keep hearing about how amazing AI is, but what's it actually doing for us regular folks? And more importantly, how can we start using it in our day-to-day lives?

That's exactly what I want to dig into. I'm going to share how I'm using AI in my own life and work, and trust me, it's pretty cool stuff. We'll look at some creative ways to use AI to boost your productivity and get those creative juices flowing.

I'll break down the best ways to weave AI into your daily grind so you're really getting the most out of these cutting-edge tools. Whether you're a writer, marketer, entrepreneur, or just curious about what all the AI fuss is about, I've got some practical tips, prompts, and ideas that'll get you fired up about the possibilities. Let's explore this AI world together!

Cybersecurity

With the growing digitalization of our world, cybersecurity is more critical than ever. While I'll still cover some general cybersecurity topics here, I'm excited to announce the upcoming launch of my dedicated newsletter, "SecureAI," focusing specifically on the intersection of AI and cybersecurity. It's still in the works, but once it launches, it'll be your go-to spot for a deeper dive into this cutting-edge area. Stay tuned for more updates!

Spirituality

Amidst the hustle and technologies of modern life, I believe it's essential to nurture our spiritual sides. I'll delve into various spiritual practices, philosophies, and ways I cultivate inner peace and purpose. Spirituality is a deeply personal journey, but one that can be enriched by shared wisdom and experiences.

Entrepreneurship

As someone who juggles a day job and entrepreneurial pursuits, I'm passionate about the challenges and rewards of building something of your own. I'll share some of the side hustles and business ideas I have and am working on, and I would love to hear from you, too.

Writing & Marketing

Effective writing and marketing are essential skills in today's digital and AI world. Here's the thing, though—I'm right there with you, learning and growing as a writer. My goal is to share the lessons I'm picking up along the way, the tips and techniques that are helping me improve, such as this 30-day writing sprint

Remember, we're in this together, and by sharing what I learned, I hope to support both your writing journey and my own. Expect insights on copywriting, content strategy, online marketing, and more, all through the lens of a fellow writer who's constantly striving to level up.

Short and Sweet, That's How We'll Keep It

Now, I know your time is precious, and with the constant flood of content out there, it's easy to get overwhelmed. That's why I'm committed to keeping these articles short to medium - most articles will be no more than 600 words. I want to respect your time and I don't want to have lengthy articles being the reason why I did not complete this 30-day sprint.

Plus, I don't want this to be a one-way conversation. I'm keen to hear your thoughts, questions, and experiences related to these topics. Let's learn and grow together through engaging, back-and-forth dialogue.

My aim is to inform, inspire, and spark meaningful exchanges. I'm excited to embark on this multi-niche writing journey and see where it leads.

Thank you for sticking with me during this quieter period. Your readership and support mean the world. Here's to an engaging new chapter together!
