About being an influencer/blogger/KOL/whatever you call
As someone who’s being writing for 6 years and making profit from her own website, during this special time ( asa. jobless ) I finally got time to answer and talk a bit about my career to those people who are interested.
“How can you be a blogger ?” “What makes you want to be a blogger ?” “Why people likes to read your articles instead of other bloggers?”
So, 2014 is the year I started to write, I met 冰蹦拉 :: 美食旅行 in Microsoft as an intern. We were like Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson in the movie, just I left her first and she brought me into this blogger’s world.
At first, as a young creature who just graduated from uni. , who studied sociology(all you got is passion trust me lol super fucking innocent). I started my blog for the goal to “change the world”, “let the minority got seen by the majority”. “help people” I kept writing articles about NGOs, Exhibitions, Museums, Homeless, Social Issues and believing as long as I put efforts on them people will love my blog.
After a few months, I realized one thing.
People really don’t give a shit about these issues. hahahahaha.
(You have to know Taiwan has changed a lot in the past 6 years. And I’m happy that is getting better and better.)
So, I had to write about things people want to read to build up the basic page views and followers and so on. I had to write a lot about foods ( which I hated so much to take pictures between or before eating them) and I started to put pictures that have my face and body in my articles too. ( which I also hated a lot. ) I had to learn how to be a proper blogger and influencer and in the same time don’t lost my own personality during the time I’m “blooming”. I have sent so many emails to websites, medias that I like and want to cooperate with them. I have got rejected too. Finally, I made it. I started to receive emails instead of sending them. I started to be the one who can decide how much do I want to get from taking the cases.
After you become a “proper blogger” I personally think this is the most important time.
Because this is the time you really got the chance to “influence” people, to show people what do you think is right. To let people see what you initially want them to see, to affect their idea of traveling, living , reading. thinking.
And this is the time I start to have my own personality back.
And this is the time I start again to promoting things I care, things I think people should care.
From one of the first blogger who’s writing a lot about “solo-traveling” to statistically speaking Taiwan has much more solo travelers in the past 2 years. I imagine I did make some change. From hundreds people who has sent me emails, messages and thank me that without my articles they were unable to have the courage to travel by themselves. I believe that even I’m just a nobody I still and am doing some changes and making influences.
And this is the time I know I can’t not lost my own personality.
Every single article I create represents ME.
And this is the time I know I have to make choices.
Every single opportunity I grab represents WHO I AM.
In the past 2 years, social media has changed a lot. People got less patient about reading, people stop using Facebook. Instead, they fall in love with Instagram , Youtube, Live stream. and clients too. So I have rejected so many cases just because “I want to do the things I like and prefer. ” I don’t know how should I do videos since I don’t even watch them, I hate instagram so much due to its super superficial so I prob. just promote it once a year on my Fans page. No need to mention live stream. Have you seen me smile hahaha
But yea, is challenging. When the whole world is changing, when everyone got e-books you can’t be the only one who’s still going to the libraries. ( True story btw, I’m damn old LOL )
But yea, I have never wanted to be a part of “normal” group. I have never wanted to give up what I think is right to write instead of what I got more money from. I have never wanted to change my personality because people want me to do so.
So I’m still fighting.
So I’m still struggling.
So I can still keep the job I love so much.
So I can say I’m really happy to do it for living.
6years has passed, hopefully I will have 6 years more.
solo travel books 在 Cara G McIlroy Facebook 的最佳解答
My last trip to Bali I bought 4 books, yep 4. In my mind I was thinking you got this girl, you can totally read 1 book a day. And work and sleep and do yoga. Clearly I was dreaming. In some kind of solo sleepless zombie mode while in the airport I became a speed reader in my mind. I have currently finished one! Can I please get an applause from you all for at least that accomplishment. I literally need to travel to find the chance to read. I’m trying so hard to do it before I go to sleep at night but damn Netflix is always softly chanting “watch me, watch me” in the back of my head. Does anyone else have this problem. At least this one got to be a prop haha. I will read it! I have started, I swear.

【活動內容】
在你內心深處,應該也游著一條「想念魚」。
事情得從今年七月的那場演出開始說起……
台南有家很棒的咖啡店,名為「手艸生活」。住在台南的時候,我經常造訪該店;去年秋天,他們第一次邀請我在店裡演出。
就在手艸生活,今年七月,我做了一次完全不插電的演出。
店的大小適中,不會過於寬敞,每個角落都能清楚聽見木吉他的聲響,再加上店內的氣氛更是絕佳。在這裡,我與大約二十位觀眾朋友共享了一段親密的時光。音樂的能量直白地傳遞,在彈奏吉他的我將那轉化為可述說的語言或情感之前,觀眾就已在同一個瞬間毫無芥蒂地接收住──這種沒有電力中介、清澈透明的空氣感,是我做現場演出至今從未體驗過的。「好想再多品嘗幾次這種感覺」,出於這份貪戀,我舉辦了這次個人木吉他不插電巡演。
這次巡演,並不需要在一般演出中必備的麥克風、音箱、喇叭等PA設備。演出空間中,只有我與吉他,還有來場的觀眾。觀眾朋友的人數可能不會很多,然而正因如此,我也才能去到平常罕有機會造訪的地方。這讓我內心喧騰地冒湧出期盼與不安:在這個場所彈吉他適合嗎?聲音,能夠完美地傳達嗎?觀眾朋友願意聽我的演奏嗎?此外我也蠢蠢欲動,一人旅行,最不缺的就是想去哪就去哪的自由度。乾脆像洄游魚一樣,把台灣整個繞上一圈好了,我心想。若說獨奏吉他是我音樂生命的原點,那麼這趟旅程就是獨奏者的我與吉他共同踏上的洄歸母川之旅──一次洄游巡演。
作為吉他手,只要共演的音樂人或者樂器編制一改變,我就必須隨之調整自己的角色定位。生祥樂隊全編制的其中一員、與生祥的兩人組合、東京中央線、與薩克斯風演奏者謝明諺共同演奏,在這些組合中我的角色與任務都不同,彈奏出的樂音也各顯千秋。沒錯,每種音樂組合與編制都有它獨自的思考途徑與方式。當然,吉他獨奏跟上述情況又不太一樣。旋律、和弦、節奏……所有表現的型態都得自己決定,沒有任何人能用樂器從旁協助。那感覺就像閉著雙眼、單腳佇立在懸崖邊,在各種樂器編制中,吉他獨奏或許最屬孤獨與難為。
但是,我也想著,在吉他獨奏的形式中,是否有某種價值,是我能與觀眾朋友共享的呢?現代的錄音產品,能簡單地把出錯的地方修補掉。大家所聽的錄音產品,其中很多簡直就像科學怪人弗蘭肯斯坦,盡是縫縫補補的痕跡,宛如化上了濃妝,讓人難以辨明本尊。先不論這件事的是非,至少我自己在現場演出的時候,不會太在意彈對或者彈錯這種事情,而是把一切化整為零,期望能將無裝飾無造作的聲音、自己當下的狀態,如實傳遞給同在那個場所的人們。為了達到這個理想,選擇用吉他獨奏來做現場演出不僅合理,同時也會是個頗為新鮮的聆聽體驗。那麼,在演出現場,我想要共享的是什麼呢?
有不少人跟我說,聽我的音樂,眼前似乎能夠浮現出各式各樣的風景。「好像清晨未明的露水呢」或者「吉他像水一樣」等,還有人說我彈奏出來的樂音跟蘇格蘭單一純麥威士忌如出一轍。每個人聆聽音樂時所憶想起的事物各自不同,但在那之中有某些共通的事情是我相當重視的。那就是「懷念」的感覺,或者說溫暖地回想起靜靜埋藏在內心深處的回憶。在這次巡演之旅,我最想跟大家共享的,就是「溫暖地回想」這個行為。
我喜歡待在安靜的房間裡,把照明調暗,邊彈著吉他邊喝酒。若一個所在寧靜而幽暗,吉他的聲音就會如同在漆黑一片的闇洋中點亮的蠟燭,直接通往內心最深邃的角落。在這次的演出,希望你也能體驗到相同的感覺。我會像在海底洄游的魚一樣去到很多地方,然後也像返回故鄉河川的魚一樣,彈奏吉他,回歸自己的原點。在這趟旅程的每場演出中,希望大家「溫暖地回想起」某些事情。基於這個想法,我將巡演取名為「想念魚」。在音樂流動之間,若你回想起了什麼,那將是獨一無二、專屬於你的事物。
期待能在台灣全國各地與你相見。
