Thanks, Colin! I appreciate it 🙂 This article was written this month, so I think all the people I quoted still have blogs up, although they may be different from what they started out with. I’ll double-check. Thanks for the heads up!

Yes, that’s the goal. I’ve seen my Google traffic quadrupled since March when I launched my interview series, so I’m hoping that if I create content that actively targets keywords and not guest names that don’t get searched as frequently, that momentum will pick up. I also want to qualify for Mediavine, so I need more content as my niche is harder to gain traffic in on Pinterest.

Get it done! Are you adding a ton of content and then stopping for a bit?

I really need content on this site, so I’m buckling down. So far, I’m 2 days in and loving it!

Good luck with that! Just don’t burn yourself out in the process. 😀

For me, I’m too much of a perfectionist and that topples onto the issues of blogging every day. But, I’m trying to write most of my content now for launching on October 1, so then I can concentrate on other areas for a while. But, I’ll be revisiting certain areas for “series” type of posts as that is the goal. But I don’t plan to write blog content using a regular content schedule. I’m trying to shift to offering products/courses and the posts help find my target audience. I can’t wait to see how that experiment turns out.

It’s SO funny you mention the “blog every day” mentality because I’m trying to successfully do that this month 🙂 Blogger burnout is real and that leads to sleep deprivation and other health-related issues. Thanks for stopping by and commenting! Glad you agree <3

Kari, you’re giving me all the feels on this article and more. Thank you SO much for reading and for your kind compliment. I don’t know that I’d classify it as clinical depression, but not seeing my business grow definitely made me sad. You’re right in that once you see the light at the end of the tunnel, it can be so motivating and worth the struggle, but not if your mental health isn’t in check. So glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you so much, Mike! Yes, this was a post that I just couldn’t contain the experience to my own — the post needed a breath of fresh air from people in different circumstances. Glad you enjoyed it and I appreciate your best wishes 🙂
