I almost quit blogging until I did this.

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 community was something I wanted, I was going to create one myself.

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.

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 audiance and your knowladge, you have to know that sometimes that will take a little money. I 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.

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.

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.
