I like your blog design, my eye was immediately drawn to the pen and that meant I read your blog name and tag line before reading the post. Clever (intentionally?).

Two years still to go on my blog!

Hi Karina,

Congratulations on starting a blog. Even though your blog is only two weeks old, we all started the same – with one post and a dream for what blogging might hold.

Just keep doing what your doing, stay authentic, enjoy the process and you’ll do great.

Happy blogging Karina! I’ll be seeing you again soon.

Hi Alex,

Well put. Success does take time. And the best part of that is the journey. I know you’ll enjoying each step of the way.

Kudos to you Alex for taking that first step to turn your blog into a serious venture.

Hi Barbara,

I’ve been blogging for 2 weeks. Haha, yeah not the two years everyone above has been blogging for, but a measly 2 weeks. I have another blog that I set up as a means for family and friends to keep up to date with my recent move to another continent, but that doesn’t get much traffic besides my family and friends and that’s okay, because I intended it to be just that – personal.

But then I decided, why not share a blog with the world? Why not try and reach out to as many people as I can. I want to inspire people, and although I feel like I’m still a bit uncertain on how exactly I will do that, I decided to just start. And, I have to say that so far I’m very happy with my “success”. By that I mean, I’ve learned how to set it all up, host it myself etc. I’ve learned quite a bit about the whole process. I still have so much more to learn, but for two weeks up, I think I’m doing okay. Traffic is not really anything to talk about, but I’m okay with that. In fact, even if my blog will stay steady at the traffic it has now, I will continue writing as long as I can. Why? Because perhaps one post will one day inspire one of my few readers, and that’s all that matters to me.

I blogged for 2 years before turning the blog from an online diary into a serious venture. Yes, I saw significant increase in a few months and am now just over a year (14 months) into the new “business” mode of the blog and I expect within the next 10 months I’ll see much bigger growth but really I don’t expect full-on success for another few years.

Success takes time and I’m willing to put in that time.
