I’ve become a blogger, it wasn’t overnight and I didn’t think it was in my genes yet it has most definitely happened. I first attempted to blog a few years ago and you may just as well have handed me a french horn and said ‘play me a tune’. I grabbed the concept and thought it’s worth a try. I was able to write, but committing time to it wasn’t easy nor was seeing the value.

Putting together 300-600 cohesive words on a regular basis is obviously as important to blogging as wind is to to a kite. However 2 years ago I had the wind but no string for the kite and it was night time.

I tried, I really did, but back then I felt I was writing to the goldfish we have, opening a word document and typing would have felt as worthwhile. Sure I got the occasional traffic and even now some of those posts are still online getting a few visits here and there. I wasn’t quite sure where I was going and my efforts dried up.

Four months ago the idea of blogging again raised it’s head as I felt I had a topic to write about that has been a part of my life now for 30 years. I also was now changing career paths and fully understanding the true value of a blog was becoming more apparent every day. Four months ago I made some excuses and put it on the ‘to-do’ pile, a habit I have to break. Spring turned to Summer and the more I learned about blogging the more my idea was making me itch.

Part 2 tomorrow, I’ll explain how a start up blog has gone from zero to 1,000 page views per day in just 24 days. It wasn’t a ponzi scheme – it was subject expertise, networking and creativity. It also helped so much that the blog looks amazing.

For Green Seed Web Design to be able offer superb web development and coaching it was crucial that I had been my own guinea pig. Twitch Twitch, til tomorrow.
