The End of Wise & Wealthy

After 2.5 years and 150 editions of Wise & Wealthy, I’m pulling the plug.

It’s not the end of my blog though. I’ve been publishing articles since 2015. And I’ve been sending out a weekly newsletter in some shape or form since that time as well.

But I AM ending the Wise & Wealthy format and brand.

There are two reasons why:

1. Reader response has been down: Back when I started, my newsletter was simple. Every time I published an article, I would send out an email with a link to the article. And I would explain what the article was about and why I wrote it.

Times have changed a lot since 2015 and responding to articles is not really a thing anymore. And that’s quite unfortunate for my style of content creation.

I thrive off reader feedback. It gives me input for new content. I think that’s also because of the impersonal Wise & Wealthy format.

Sending an email with a link to an article somehow feels more personal. I want to go back to that.

2. I like to switch things up: I’m a huge believer in doing new things in life every 2 to 3 years. That could be switching jobs or getting a promotion if you’re employed.

And if you work for yourself, it could mean shaking things up in the way you work. Over the last 9 years, I’ve done a lot of “switching things up.”

From self-publishing to traditional publishing. Living abroad. Hiring freelancers. And so forth.

The reason I like to do something different every 2 to 3 years is because, in my experience, that’s about the time most people start getting bored in their current job/career.

Is this something you can also relate to?

What’s next…

Every time I publish a new article, I’ll send you an email. Other than that, I’m also working on a few other projects.

My goal is to only publish when I really have something to say. I don’t want to create content for the sake of creating content.

That’s why I’ve never turned my blog or newsletter into a clickbait machine that’s funded by advertising. I’m in the business of teaching and sharing information, and I want to keep it that way.

Anyway, as soon as I have more details to share, I’ll update you.

Thank you for reading Wise & Wealthy!

I appreciate that you’re here. And I’m excited to keep sharing new articles with you.

All the best,

Darius
