Started a new journey...

Hello hackers! I'm very excited to be around!

I've been listening to the Indie Hackers podcast for a while and I've been reading the posts but I haven't posted myself until now! But everything has a beginning, right?

My name is Florin and I'm a Front-end Developer & Blogger at https://florin-pop.com
Last week I quit my job in order to follow my newly discovered passion (blogging) full-time and I'm very excited about this!

I've been contacted by multiple publishers which asked me to write technical articles for their blogs and this will become my main source of income now until I'll be able to make enough from my own blog to be able to support myself + I'm also working on some side projects which would hopefully help with that!

I also launched a Patreon page ( https://patreon.com/florinpop17 ) and I hope I'll get some income from my followers too.

I know it's a lot of work to be done, but I'm very happy that now I'm working on my own dream!

I also have some questions for you and I'll be very glad if you could share your opinion on these:

1. Do you think that I should pay to get more visitors for my blog or I should continue to grow it organically? Currently I have around 10k users / month
2. What do you think to be the best way to grow my patrons? What should I offer?

I'm open to any other advice!

Thank you!
