Blogging

“Today marks exactly ONE YEAR since I launched my blog (April 28, 2024), and what a rollercoaster it's been! I wanted to share my journey, the wins, the setbacks, and everything I've learned along the way. [...] Month 1: Pure hustle mode - published my first 5 posts with absolutely zero traffic. Month 2: The magical moment I got my very first Google search click! I literally celebrated. Month 3: Hit the 100 search clicks milestone and started believing this could work.”

“After weeks of deliberation, I decided that my blog would be focused on reviewing the books I read and in late October of 2006, I published my first post on Everyday Reading (it was a review of Baby Proof by Emily Giffin). I used a standard template on Blogger, and I didn’t know the first thing about html, photography, or pretty much anything blogging related, but I jumped right in with the goal of reviewing one book per week.”

“I can’t believe that I’ve been blogging for almost a whole year now. This time last year I started working on my blog, and then I officially launched it on January 1st! I am honestly so proud of myself for sticking to it and never missing a week! Every single week I published at least one blog post, but my goal was to post at least two. I thought about starting a blog for probably two years before I finally got the nerve to do it.”
