I almost quit blogging until I did this.

blog, grow your blog, tailwind November 13, 2018

My blogging journey started in 2009. I was horrible and this was before ‘blogging’ was a huge thing. Over the years my blog grew, and grew and grew. I love my blog and it’s been my baby for so long.

But after awhile, sometime between having Ryan and now I fell out of love with it. I wasn’t seeing the progress I wanted and I just lost that loving feeling. (If you know what I mean)

Then we moved from San Antonio, Texas to a small town with less that 1900 people in Alabama. I was known in the blogging community in San Antonio and had even won ‘Best Blogger of the Year’ one year. But once I moved I didn’t know anyone. I tried reaching out to a few bloggers with little success. Therefor I almost gave up.

If I’m honest I was on the edge of giving up until I found a new group of friends who were interested in starting a blog and I decided to teach them. If a community was something I wanted, I was going to create one myself. I started with the basics they needed to learn about blogging. I gave them a few insights on how to get their webpage up and running and also made them aware of the web design company they could consult to get it designed more professionally. They could choose whatever pleases them.

During this time of teaching, I started over. I looked into all the knowledge I knew, and then I kept going, learning and learning and learning as much as I could. I wanted to teach to the best of my ability. Thanks to the likes of optimum internet, I was swimming in a pool of resources from where I could learn and unlearn.

During this time of teaching, I also taught myself a very valuable lesson. What truly makes me happy with my blog and why I was so intent on quiting.

So what did I do that makes me want to keep going every day?

I found a new group of bloggers who where eager to learn.

I kept learning myself.

The biggest thing is I put wants into action. Here’s what I mean.

When you truly want to grow your reach, your audience, and your knowledge, you have to know that sometimes that will take a little money. It could be used to spend on a bolton seo company or one similar to it for their marketing expertise, or on other options such as growth companies; either way, it would only help with the inflow of traffic to your blog page. Having said that, when you hand over SEO responsibilities to an SEO agency, it may be crucial to set SEO goals (take a peek at this post for more information on setting SEO goals) that can be used to determine what you want to accomplish. When you do not know where you want to go, you won’t know when you get there. Also, I myself never wanted to spend any money, but in doing that I was spending more time than I needed online, and in return I was not ‘loving’ what I was doing.

So for a couple of months, I took 30% of the money I was making from my blog and put it into a separate bank account to be used for growing my blog. After I did this, I did my research. I wanted to find a way to grow my blog traffic with as little amount of time a day.

—–>I decided to go with Tailwind.

I started with the free trial (100 free pins), and when I started seeing results in as little as one day, I jumped in the deep end.

You may be asking why I decided to use Tailwind when there are tons of ways to grow your traffic. Using tailwind to schedule my pins has grown my Pinterest pageviews from 20k a month to now 220k a month. And I’ve only been using Tailwind for 1 month.

But that’s not it. I didn’t just want to grow my traffic. I wanted to grow my income. So in doing this, I not only increased my blog traffic, and my Pinterest but I also doubled the options to make money from both my blog and my Pinterest account.

Now, I’m happy to get up and get work done. I’m not worried about the small things. I have a new community of blogger friends that I love and I’m learning again, growing again and loving again.

Never stop growing or learning.

Living Life one day at a time

But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”

Joshua 24:15 Joshua 24:15

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

Colossians 3:23-24 Colossians 3:23-24

My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

Psalm 73:26 Psalm 73:26
