🕸️ Why I Link Like a Lunatic ...

...and Why You Might Want To!

Ever feel like your thoughts are sprinting ahead while your blog posts are still lacing their shoes?
Same here. That’s why I’ve started linking my posts like my future self depends on it ... because… she does.

🧠 My Brain Has Tabs Open - So Should My Blog

Once upon a time (a.k.a. last week), I shared a whimsical parable about AI oars and tech teamwork. A few scrolls later, I was writing about SEO and site optimization.
Did I link them together?
At first, no.
Tragic. Missed my own plot twist.

Now?
I treat every post like a bead in a bracelet. A thread in a story. A step in my evolving, sometimes sleep-deprived brilliance (Uhm...)

🪢 Internal Linking = Mental Breadcrumbs

Here’s what happens when I don’t link:

• I rewrite the same advice three different ways and wonder why it feels familiar.
• Readers message me like, “Didn’t you say this before… somewhere?”
• I go back, find gold I’d forgotten, and wish I had just… connected the dots.

So now, I link.
Like a proud mom showing off baby pictures, I point to earlier posts and say: “Look! This was me figuring it out in real time!”

🔍 Example? Let’s Get Real.

That post where I was buzzing about affiliate marketing?
It really clicked after I shared my Amazon VIP story (yes, the one with the pajama debut and joyful panic).
Or that tip-filled guide on content creation?
It made a lot more sense once I linked back to my early “what I got wrong”moments about referrals and nurturing.

And don’t get me started on SEO. My “Link It Like It’s Hot” moment came only after someone literally said, “I’m still lost.” 💡

🛠️ So… Why Bother?

• It keeps your ideas from floating off like untethered balloons.
• It shows growth ... a timeline of “I used to think” vs. “Now I know.”
• It helps readers see the whole journey, not just the post-of-the-day.

✨ PS: It’s Not Self-Promo, It’s Self-Connection

Here on WA, we don’t name-drop our own sites , but we can shine in other ways:

• Link your older WA posts when you reference past lessons.
• Update your profile with your milestones (and maybe a few well-placed metaphors).
• Be the thread that ties others together. We all win when the stage lights go up.

TL;DR for Fellow Brainy Bees 🐝

Don’t let your posts wander solo in the woods.
Link them. Thread them. Make them part of your bigger, evolving, epic voice.

Because you’re not just writing blogs.
You’re building a universe ... one witty breadcrumb at a time.

To yours!
