Hello people of Digitalpoint, I have a few questions about a project I am planning. I'll keep them short so that I don't cram too much into one post. I am a freelance 3d animator who is planning on setting up a blog about space and spiritual topics (ex. advocating for space exploration, encouraging people to be more mindful). I'll do affiliate marketing and I plan to post animated videos along with some of my posts. This will my 3d work more exposure, which will hopefully attract more clients in the long term. I also figure if I can combine good writing with good animation, I will have a cool brand that I can develop myself without needing to spend too much money hiring people. 1) I plan on posting thoughtful, original content (sometimes with animated videos) on various space and psychology forums and having my blog link on the signature of each post. Could this be considered spam, or is it a legit way of advertising one's blog? (ex. would Google algorithms or the forum mods mark it as spam, even if it matches the topic being discussed on the forums?). Would it be further considered bad form if I re-post some of what I say on the forums into blog posts on my blog? 2) What question about outer space makes you the most curious? 3) What places on the internet do you go when you want to think about far-off topics? attached is an optional poll Thank You
If I were you I'd create a YouTube channel and spend most of my time making videos. YouTube is the only place I go to to get educated on space exploration, our and other galaxies, etc.
I would say that finding life elsewhere in space would be the most interesting topic you could cover. From bacteria to intelligent life forms, it is one of the big questions that space exploration is trying to answer, in my opinion. The trick, of course, is to not get caught up in all of the hype and fraud that it out there on this topic.
