Finally Hit The Big 5-0
I have heard many times that the tide begins to turn traffic wise when you get up to 50 published posts.
Although I'm a few posts past 50, I meant to write this on the day I actually wrote my 50th post and just didn't have the time.
I've been here since September 2018 and quickly approaching that one year mark. I've learned so much in that time but feel like it's a drop in the ocean compared to what I still have to learn.
Anyways, I have been trying to hit 50 posts for a while. Due to my full time job and other time requirements, I don't always get out the amount of posts every week that I'd like to.
I feel that now that I've finally hit 50 posts, the work has just begun, but at least my site isn't completely naked anymore.
I actually have some content to link to and share on some other platforms.
I just wanted to memorialize the point where I hit it through the blog here to have something to look back on.
Has my traffic improved? Yes, it's definitely increased a bit in organic traffic when I got close to 50. Slowly but surely it's going up.
If you're at that point like I was where it feels like you will never hit 50 posts, keep going.
I know that some hit 50 posts within their first few months so I obviously am not talking to you overachiever (kidding).
Keep at it and keep writing posts and you will get there. I used to think in the beginning after each post that I would never be able to think of another.
Then I just sat down and started working and I got there.

Now on to the next goal of 100 posts!
Thanks for reading,

Hey Dan - Thanks for your post! Congrats on hitting your 50 target, that's awesome. I can completely relate to your comment about wanting to go faster but with your full time job and other commitments it's a challenge. Same here, I have a full time job that comes with a 4 hour round trip commute but I refuse to quit and will also celebrate when I hit the 50 mark....I have a very long way but thanks for the words of encouragement!
Thank you!! That's a brutal commute. I know that you will get there. Just keeping doing what you can and it'll happen. I felt the same way every step along the way.
Well done Dan!
You are a good example of how consistent application towards your goals yields satisfaction.
I get your twitter updates in my social emails and you are impeccably consistent and it inspires me to maintain momentum.
Your words about just scratching the surface after almost a year resonates within me too so it's a solid vibe for me to read what you to shared in your post above. Thanks!
Well done and kudos!
Cheers to you and the next 50!

Congratulations Dan. Keep going. I am heading there too. It's been slow going for me but it won't be long again.
Congratulations!! I started in September as well and not near 50 posts. I don’t even look at how much traffic I get because when I’ve looked I wasn’t really getting any. I figure just keep my head down, keep writing in a way to help people and eventually something will happen. Thanks for sharing. Wishing you great success as you head toward 100😊

Absolutely. I didn't check it in the beginning because I knew it wasn't much but I did eventually start checking it daily. It's important to see how it's changing and where it's coming from. Plus it's just cool to see when it goes up LOL. Absolutely. I try to do at least two posts every week no matter once and honestly it's been very helpful. I know that you make it to 50 and beyond too! Thank you for the kind words!
