Member-only story
Last week I was walking around México City and someone randomly asked me,
Guy: “Are you that bachata blogger dude?”
Me: “Yeah, that’s probably me!”
Guy: “Nice to meet you man. I found your blog post on where to go dancing last year when I moved to CDMX. It was the main reason why I started taking salsa lessons here.”
After that nice interaction, I walked nearby to my local fruit stand and another guy approached me.
“I moved here 6 months ago and started taking bachata classes because of your blog. I also tried learning Spanish and dating here after reading your story.”
A week before this, another guy saw me at the park and told me he bought my Bachata Library, a product I created for bachata students to track and remember all their dance moves. Randy whipped out his phone to show me all of the cool figures he added and it was AMAZING.
Keep in mind, my bachata blog post only gets 300–400 views a month, so it’s not like I’m a crazy viral influencer. But what I find so cool about these interactions is that something small like a blog post can fundamentally change someone’s life trajectory.
But I shouldn’t be surprised. Random internet bloggers have changed my life too.
