I know what you’re saying, When we first start blogging, depending on whom we get our advice from, it can be confusing. Publishing five or more days a week is what a lot of us have done, but it’s tough – finding topics to write about and keeping that enthusiasm.

It sounds like you’ve now found a blogging rhythm that works for you and allows your to remain authentic. I think that’s the key to keeping the fun in this oh, so addictive hobby.

When I began blogging I was encouraged to write every single day. At first I did this and I felt strangled by it. I wondered what I had committed myself to! Also, it was difficult to have really thoughtful posts all five days of the week. I slowed down a bit (more of a mental hurdle than anything) and I actually started getting more comments and having a more interactive blog, which was really pleasing to me. The other advice I received in the beginning was to weave in a strong marketing component. The advice was helpful but following it didn’t feel authentic for my message. I’m still glad to have the knowledge, though. Perhaps in the future it will be helpful.

That’s what makes a blog unique – when we inject our own personality into it. Even if we discuss the same topic as dozens of others, what we say will resonate with many.

Keeping true to ourselves is key.

Doesn’t it seem like we questioned what we read from the very beginning? I remember some of our emails and both of us decided in some cases it was better do it our way, instead of how the pros said it HAD to be done. Granted we may have made some mistakes along the way, but we certainly learned.

P.S. I did have a good break. Will be watching for your email. xx
