Your Content Has Been Indexed

If you have read some of my previous posts, you know that I have been struggling with the focus for my lifeinthemind blog. No matter what I did, I felt like my content and focus was forced. Like I was forcing myself to fit into a specific niche, because my true focus of life as a Breast Cancer survivor seemed a bit too vague.

I took a step back and focused on another site for a bit, and slowly the pieces started to fall into place. I suddenly had a name for my site, and my true focus finally started to seem clear. In my head it is primarily a lifestyle blog, with a day in the life focus of surviving breast cancer by taking each day one day at a time.

I know some may interpret my focus as still being a bit too vague, but this is what seems right to me. Somewhere along the way I had gotten so focused on promoting "product" that my true focus got lost in the shuffle.

So, for the first time in about a month I created a new blog post for my site entitled "Finding Your Voice - The struggle is real. This was the first time I used Site Content to create a new blog post, and I just got the email today saying that my post had been indexed by Google. So in less than 24 hrs my post has been found. I never expected it to be so fast, especially since my site is still relatively new.

I still have to work on my existing content, and figure out how I am going to fit products into the mix. But as Kyle has said, focus first on building your authority and brand in a specific area, the rest can come later. It took me awhile to finally come to this realization as I had been so focused on the money, when I didn't have the traffic base to get me there.

Since Google found my post so quickly, it can only go upwards from here.
