I have a ten year old blog that no one has read but myself in 9 years.

Keeping a journal has a ton of value, people have known this for a long time.

You could just buy a notebook and pen at Walmart for $2 and start writing down your thoughts.

I can't think of a bigger waste of time at this point though than to start writing down your thoughts with the only intention of monetization. If you don't care about other people reading your thoughts, things become really simple.
