Questions people actually ask

Is this the same thing as ignepublishing.com?

No, on purpose. ignepublishing.com is the professional side — the portfolio, the shop, the way I take on client work. This blog is the personal, first-person account of actually running it. Different voice, different purpose, deliberately kept separate.

Do you share every site's real numbers?

When I share a number here, it's real — not rounded up, not a best-case version. But I don't share every number for every site, and I won't share anything before I'm ready to. If a post includes a specific figure, you can trust it's accurate as of when I wrote it.

Can I hire you, or buy one of your sites?

For consulting or client work, that goes through ignepublishing.com's consulting intake, not this blog. If you're asking about a specific site because something you read here made you curious, just reach out and say so.

How do you actually have time for all of this?

Honestly, inconsistently. Some sites get real attention for a month and then nothing for two. Part of the reason this blog exists is to be honest about that rhythm instead of pretending everything moves forward at a constant, impressive pace.

Do you use AI tools to help build any of this?

Yes, as part of the actual build process — planning site structure, drafting content, catching bugs. I still make the calls on what ships and what a page actually says. I'd rather say that plainly than have someone assume otherwise.

Is this a business or a hobby blog?

Somewhere in between, and that's kind of the point. The network of sites is a real business. This blog is closer to a hobby — I'm not optimizing it for growth the way I would one of the actual properties. If that changes, I'll probably write a post about it.

Something else?

Ask me directly — happy to add a real question here if it comes up more than once.
