What’s coming? – A letter from the Founder

                                                        

10 June 2021

 

Dear Friends

I would like to first congratulate and thank you for being early adopters of what will no doubt be a revolution to the world of Entrepreneurs, Freelancers, Digital Nomads and Intrapreneurs.

Before being a platform to create, publish, monetise and connect long-form content, Leakd is a thriving community; an evolving ecosystem of bold individuals sharing their expertise, experience and vision. With our values firmly rooted in support, we want nothing more to see this growing army of self-employed visionaries succeed at their craft.

I’d like to now share our exciting roadmap with you. Let’s start with all the exciting features available to our users today.

  • Use our incredible Editor tool to create beautiful content. Features include Grammarly, SEO imputation, video embedding and much more
  • The best data Insights – industry-wide – on topic selection, visitors, readership, keywords and sources
  • Import any existing published content with one-click
  • Content discovery with a paywall-free public-facing Headlines page. This is where your work also gets published and found
  • Follow and unfollow fellow writers

As you can see, there’s so much you can do and achieve on Leakd today. But we’re about 10% away from the goal, so I’d like to share with you what the other 10% looks like.

  • Journal feature– create and monetise multi-content email campaigns for your dedicated readership. You choose your subscription price, how often you send and which of your content is public-facing – 6 months
  • Entrepreneur zone – share your wins, gains and challenges with other Entrepreneurs in a special space for like-minded contributors and creators. You can join various tribes by category, campaign and followership – 6 months

 

While these are our broad development plans, we’re always trialling and testing the platform in order to give our users the optimum Leakd experience. If you have any suggestions for improvement, I urge you to email me directly at trivandhare@leakd.co.

Until next time, stay safe and stay creating.

 

Warm regards,

Triv Andhare

Founder and CEO, Leakd Pty Ltd

Do you want a blog or a website?

At first glance, you may believe doing both are genuine options.

Moreover, a very common misconception is that to write a blog or publish an article, you need a website. 

 

You do not. And they are not the same thing. Here’s why. 

 

What you need to create a website:

  • A domain 
  • A host 
  • Unless you’re versed in the art of computer programming/science, you will need a page builder to build the contents, links and design of your website
  • An email address to send and receive communication from your visitors 
  • A marketing plan to distribute your content and receive a viewership in return 
  • A tool to capture insights 

…this is just to get started, and it costs money. 

 

OR 

 

Do you just want to create, write, publish and share your blog? Here’s what you need:

  • A platform to write a blog 
  • The essential editorial tools to ensure your work is aesthetically pleasing 
  • A community to showcase and share your work 

 

If you just want to write and publish about your expertise, experience and skills, Leakd provides all the necessary tools for you to go from idea to exposure in one easy-to-use central platform. 

 

So, do you want to publish a blog or create a website?

WORDPRESS vs leakd

Leakd is a centralised blogging and editing platform providing creatives, entrepreneurs and change-seekers an alternative medium to express themselves.

 

We know there a few platforms in the online world that may do something similar.

 

Click here for a summary of leakd vs WordPress, Medium and Ghost 

 

 

How is leaked to different to WORDPRESS:

 

The key questions here are…

How much time do you have? How much money do you have?

 

If your answer is infinite to both, WordPress may be the right choice for you.

 

If your answer is not a great deal to both, then you’ve come to the right place.

 

If your answer is not a great deal to one, then you’ve come to the right place.

 

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last decade, you’re probably well across WordPress and its use.

 

Do you have the coding skills to build your website? Do you understand wire-framing and UI? If you do, awesome! Using WordPress might be the best choice.

 

However, most of us DON’T, so we pay a third-party to provide us an integrated WordPress tool so we can build a website without having to code. Examples of this include; Show It, Weeknight Website, Elementor 

This will take a lot of time. It will also cost you a lot of money. 

 

Now, if you’re looking to clear the clutter and just get pen to paper (figuratively) and share what you’ve got with the planet, then you’ve come to the right place.

 

At a fraction of the cost of creating a WordPress site from scratch, and with all the essentials editing tools at your fingertips, leakd is your best choice.

While some of you have may want to harness your entrepreneurial spirit and turn your blogging into a full-fledged publication, and in which case we recommend the Entrepreneur benefits, many of you just want a simple, easy to use platform to share your best work.

 

GHOST is more suited to fulltime, dedicated, writers looking to forfeit their entire livelihood to a publication.

 

The platform delivers a host of integrations and provides highly customisable tools.

 

Our research tells us that individuals and new-business owners only have a few barriers to writing expert content.

(More on this here)

 

Once you know what you want to write about, take advantage of hand-picked tools  to make your writing look stunning.

 

Use the platform to share your thoughts, gain a following and get found, everywhere around the world.

 

But simplicity doesn’t only flow through our design and platform, our easy-to-understand pricing system will give you peace of mind knowing you’re not spending a fortune to launch your new business, channel or side-gig!
