Skills to Mills - Acquire the will, conquer the hill, enjoy the thrill

[Skills to Mills]

Dear Bitcointalk users,

I would like to introduce you to a new website I am writing since the beginning of 2023. I have had this idea for a long time and the new year got me really motivated to start writing this website.

Skills to Mills is a digital platform that was established in January 2023 and is dedicated to teaching you why and how to invest your money in order to gain financial freedom.

We will offer a wide variety of high-quality content about finance: the stock market, fiat currencies, cryptocurrencies, staking, margin trading, futures, etc.

We will be writing specific blog articles about companies like Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, but also about our favorite cryptocurrencies and suggested trading methods.

We hope to see you around in our daily growing community! Thanks a lot for you time!

Kind regards,

To begin with, I can say that your project is not something new or unique, so you will have to invest a lot of time, knowledge and money to make it stand out from other similar projects. I read the part where you write about cryptocurrencies in general and I can say that I do not agree with some statements or that they are somewhat confusing.

Fiat currencies are being printed at will, and cryptocurrencies have a capped (limited) supply.

It's true that Bitcoin and some altcoins have a max supply, but some popular alts don't have it or at the moment that amount is still undefined. One of perhaps the most famous alts that recently moved to POS also does not have a clearly defined max supply, which in my opinion does not make it much different from fiat that is printed as needed.

There have been huge cryptocurrency scams in the past, especially when they were still very young. The expert cryptocurrency developers are learning every single day from these happenings, and will develop them in such a way that it becomes absolutely impossible to rig them.

When you talk about scams, it would be good to distinguish those that result from poorly designed projects that enable their owners to carry out some scam to the detriment of their investors, from those that have nothing to do with it but are the result of ordinary people who take advantage of the greed and naivety of other people with the goal to make a financial profit at the expense of all these people. If we look at the past, one of the most dramatic events was the hacking of Mt.Gox, but also a few months ago we had a huge scam with the Korean so-called stablecoin and the US crypto exchange.


In my opinion, it's hard to give useful financial advice if you don't understand some fairly basic things, but every beginning is difficult and no one is born smart, so don't get discouraged, but try to be better in the future.

[Skills to Mills]

Hey Lucius thanks a lot for your reply and feedback!

You are right about that, and I will slightly change the text about cryptocurrencies having a limited supply. This is indeed not always the case.

I want to make my website as unique as possible by writing about a wide variety of subjects, instead of just cryptocurrencies for example. Although cryptocurrencies are my favorite subject and what I have invested in the most.

I'm going to learn more about margin trading and futures contracts, as I'm not so experienced in these fields yet.

I will keep writing regularly and I'm absolutely sure that this website will be successful in the future.

I sent you a connection request on LinkedIn, but you haven't accepted yet. Let's talk on Telegram: @ElevatedWarrior

I don't have LinkedIn anymore, only Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp. Please add me on Facebook or Twitter.

I read through the introduction of the webpage and also checked a few other section and I'm quite impressed with the web structure and also the designs, I like the fact it's not painted with too much colors.

But I do have one major concern about your webpage. We all know that most blogging site today that provide us with investment updates are now been paid to post articles so majority of them don't even take their time to investigate a project before releasing an article for them. So my question now is; I hope "skills to mills" is not going to take that same path." at least you should do some research before you publish an article so as to reduce the risk of your audience being caught up in a Ponzi scheme just because of your publication. That's just my concern.
Like I said previously the webpage structure and it's design are superb.

[Skills to Mills]

Hey Cantsay thanks so much for your reply!

In order to generate some income I am using referral links throughout my website, especially to cryptocurrency exchanges. I have 7 years experience in the cryptocurrency markets and have both made and lost a lot of money myself.

One thing that I promise is that I do not write about something which I have not personally tested myself. My intention is never to make money on the cost of someone else, so to say. If I recommend someone to buy something, I am almost sure that the reader will make money on it.

The current cryptocurrency prices are really good for example, so anyone buying at this point and holding on to their investment for a long time, will definitely make a lot of money at this point.

Any feedback is always welcome, you can reach me in multiple ways, also on social media.

@OP, Cantsay has a strong point here, for a project like yours that's just developing and which to standout in the big market competition out there you need to have a standard that your users knows you for,  that stands you out among  your contemporaries for you to gain the kind of audience you need to be among the big boys in the industry.
Reasons why many persons lose interest in projects like this is because previous ones has misguided them with  wrong investment informations  that brought them to scratch. And hardly would  anyone  just jump in to take into consideration an article from a just developed site that have no track record yet. So OP bear in mind you still have a long way to go

[Skills to Mills]

Thanks for your reply as well Lida93!

Will keep this in mind and my content is not misleading. It is based on my own trading experiences over 7 years.

It's great to see someone build a site which provides various knowledge about investing in various investment instruments. Your website is pretty good too, even if the design isn't very attractive, it's still clean and easy to navigate through. However, there are some suggestions that you might take:

1. Design a website with a more attractive theme, you can take a look at the themes on the following website and it's free https://colorlib.com/wp/cat/education/
2. It's a good idea to put a pop up disclaimer on your website so that when something goes wrong, people won't blame you for wrong information or the website you recommended is suddenly a scam.

[Skills to Mills]

Thanks for this reply I will start working on a new theme once I find a better one. I am familiar with Hestia theme and I am not a great designer.

I have a disclaimer in the contact section and sometimes on pages and blog articles.

The website introduction is very apt I must applaud. You have a fantastic website layout, and I hope you continue to improve it over time to make it more appealing. An attractive and user-friendly website distinguishes it and entices visitors to return more frequently. I reviewed the Types of Investment you provided with their detailed explanations, and I must say that it is a job well done by you. Also, include a disclaimer on those investments so that people are aware of the risks involved in investing there.

Great idea, OP, but you must include it in all of your blog posts and articles, as well as any sponsored content on investment updates that you may be asked to promote from time to time. If you take this into account, you won't have any problems with a later effect that will occur in an investment update you posted.

[ajiz138]

I see your website is quite simple with a white background it should use a better design to make it look more attractive because if it looks like this it will look like a normal site that is not impressed anymore, this is just a suggestion you need to add a better UI/UX .

Type of Investment > Cryptocurrency, that's a more general understanding you have to be able to write articles with your own research and experience while traveling on cryptocurrency investment, for example in terms of profits, preventing risks, managing, how to take good profits and all of that you have to do your own research I hope this will add more about your experience on the site that you own.

I will start working on a new theme once I find a better one. I am familiar with Hestia theme and I am not a great designer.

since you're not a designer, you don't need to worry about design. You already have a clear design, further serious improvement is just a waste of your time (I know that feeling very well). Better focus on the content. For now, I only see some generic content and nothing that would leave the impression that I learned something new.
due to the beautiful appearance of the site, I will certainly not return to that page again, but if I find useful information, there is already a possibility to put the site in the bookmark.

Isn't this forum the best example, which has a rather outdated design, but we all come back because of the content and potential that we can find here?

[Accardo]

I hope "skills to mills" is not going to take that same path."

I think the website is just starting and the advise should be one step at a time, Op needs to attract more traffics before getting lobbied to write on projects that may not be good for his audience. Having said that, which he claimed not to be a part of such practice. I'd say that Op should work with high DA sites on the cryptocurrency niche for guest posts and building back links. It's a long process, but it'll pay off on the long run considering the number of cryptocurrency blogs that shuts down on daily basis. Staying in the market, OP, is your greatest weapon, and even if you don't want to run the site again, it can be sold for a good amount. In addition, I love the simplicity and the speed of the webpages they are good and it'll help readers to stay longer on your site which will help the ranking of the pages. Keep it up and don't stop.

[Saisher]

It's good that you are using WordPress because you have a wide choice of themes and there are a lot of fo plugins to use or integrate to make your site stand out, and since you are using a WordPress script why not choose a theme that is investment related theme, another thing is why not install options to subscribe for your visitors so every time you have a new post you can send a notification to your followers through emails.
Get a gravatar to establish your brand and create a disclaimer page like all the investment tutorial sites, every site has one, especially a tutorial site like yours.
 

[NotATether]

I'd like to see you add some content about banks, how banks work, how interest and lines of credit and loans work, and so forth, because it's kinda pointless for people to be making money if inflation is going to neutralize their gains that are stored in a bank account.

[Husires]

Who are the writers who write your articles (I don't see any links to them or references to their names) or at least what are the sources you rely on?
I have read some articles and their quality does not seem professional, for example in this article
 

• https://skillstomills.com/investment-types/cryptocurrency-staking/
• https://skillstomills.com/investment-types/cryptocurrencies/

You talked about the principle of proof of work with a lot of bias and did not explain all aspects related to it. the principle of proof of stake contains many details that you did not mention. Recommending this platform does not seem like a wise idea. Nexo is a platform that is on the verge of bankruptcy, however, the first recommendation.

We recommend you to stake them on these platforms:
Nexo;

You can take the permission of some members here to improve the quality of your site and modify some of the information received.

Thank you so much for all your great and constructive replies!

I am working a lot now and don't have so much time during the weekdays. I will start writing again this weekend and will read through all your comments and really do something with it. I am looking to improve this website as much as I can as I know I am a really good writer and a honest guy as well who is not looking for some affiliate profits only, but really want to help people with their investments.

You can always reach me for a conversation on Telegram @WesleyBos or on social media.
