Meet the Writer: HackerNoon Contributor Ani Alexander - Web3 Marketer and Bestselling Author

If you’re seeing this interview draft, it means you’ve recently published on HackerNoon a story that the community found interesting and/or valuable. For this reason, we would like to help the community get to know you better as well as find out some writing tips from you.

While this template is automatic, our interest in the answers below is genuine and our human editors (and some cyborg wannabes) will review it before publishing.

So let’s start! Tell us a bit about yourself. For example, name, profession, and personal interests.

I am wearing many different hats and as a result, I am a web3 marketer, international speaker, podcaster, bestselling author, and an NFT artist.

Interesting! What was your latest Hackernoon Top story about?

It was a very degen story. How many spent $1.3M to receive 'nothing' in return. Human nature mystery or just another regular day in crypto? :)

Do you usually write on similar topics? If not, what do you usually write about?

I do cover web3 topics very often, but I am more interested in the human side of it, and I like deep diving into interesting stories and covering them as soon as they happen.

Great! What is your usual writing routine like (if you have one?)

I am a very un-routine person. Very impulsive writer. Something will fire me up, and I will just sit and type it off fast… I would lose interest and not write for months. But when I write, in most cases, it’s in the evenings and with a drink (or 2:)

Being a writer in tech can be a challenge. It’s not often our main role, but an addition to another one. What is the biggest challenge you have when it comes to writing?

Finding exciting stories that people would care about. I hate dry writing and need the reader to feel something when they read stories. And in tech, often “stories” are often announcements/ads not many care about.

What is the next thing you hope to achieve in your career?

Being able to do only the things that I truly love.

Wow, that’s admirable. Now, something more casual: What is your guilty pleasure of choice?

Beer

Do you have a non-tech-related hobby? If yes, what is it?

Fiction (both reading and writing) and podcasting.

What can the Hacker Noon community expect to read from you next?

Oh… if I only knew. Have absolutely no idea.

What’s your opinion on HackerNoon as a platform for writers?

It has a very good reputation and covers very diverse topics. It’s very good for exposure too.
