Small Wins On A Bloggers Journey
Hello WA Community...
Just received a new message from Google Search, and wanted to share.
I am a blogger with a site just over a year old, and am posting approximately 3-4 post a month, with each post being 1500-3000 words. (After working a day job)
Getting 1K eyeballs on my site in 28 days is a new milestone for me.
This has been done with organic SEO (very little social) and no PPC
I wanted to inspire the bloggers that are not sure what to expect.
The approach is always looking to add value, and doing deep dives into the niche as well as broadening the site as the content calls for it.
It has been monetizing but not enough to do this full time...yet.
Lessons learnedKeep following the teachings here at WA - No need to look any further.
Apply everything you learn to your niche - Content creation is a do as you learn process.
Look to add value and help the reader first - Do not assume that the reader knows what you know, help educate them in the your space.
Improve on your new and older content- As you build out your content, other ideas and areas will evolve, as long as its relative build on it and look to take advantage of linking to older post.
Stay focused on your goals - Blogging is sometimes a lonely world and tough to explain to people, along with all those so called gurus looking to sell you the dream.
But...
Never give up - For the dream is here at our fingertips, with all the tools and support on our WA platform. Stay away from the shiny balls syndromes, it eats up your time, energy and adds to the confusion.
Take inspiration in the small wins- Like this message from Google, look to these small wins to inspire greatness.
Much continued success to all of you, and would like to hear how your journeys have been going as well.

Hello Teri
Absolutely, you do not have to go any further than your community.
Honestly, it's more about consistency, adding value, and proper SEO, but great content will rise to the top without many other supporting factors.
Hi Dino, wow, that is a fantastic milestone that you got. Thanks for sharing this. Awesome! You are right. As you say, we must avoid the "shiny object balls" syndrome. Small wins go a long way to keep going.
Hello Brenda
Great to meet you, and thank you for your feedback.
Compared to many bloggers, I am not sure where this sits, but for me, it's a punch in the arm to say...keep going.
The small wins help motivate us in this extended learning and uncertain journey.
Thanks again.

Hello Simone
Nice to meet you, and thank you for the kind words.
This is truly a labour of Luv until it starts to grow and move.
But at the end of the day, you either have to enjoy it, or it will not work.
Much success.
Awesome
Well said!
