A question I’ve asked myself many times

Right before I hit publish, my finger hesitates, my mind questions if it’s good enough, and I have to decide to just hit enter. Can anyone else relate?

I started my blog www.tracydeetips.com in February of 2021. The funny thing is that I started a personal blog on Google back in 2011. But then, decided it wasn’t worth the effort and I didn’t know what to write about. And I had a fear of what people would think of me.

10 years later and the fear of putting myself out there is still real, but the determination to succeed is at an all-time high.

After 15 months and 137 blog posts, I just had my highest month of views in May 2022. 1200 total page views resulting in only $0.40 in ad revenue. Yup, you read that correctly. I was hoping to have $400 or $4000 a month in revenue after that long.

Despite those numbers, I’ve spent the last month tirelessly learning about search engine optimization and focusing on my mindset. Instead of doubting myself as a writer or content creator, I’m tripling down on my efforts to learn the blogging game.

I didn’t post consistently. I didn’t search for keywords. I just wrote about things that interested me. And that was okay for my purpose in the beginning. But now, I want to make this a career and not just a hobby.

So, I’m giving myself a pat on the back that my views tripled from April 2022 to May 2022 when I only had 394 views.

If I can do that in one month, what can I do in one more month or over the whole summer or the next year?

So, I’m not going to doubt myself anymore. I’m just going to publish, publish, publish. And if I keep putting my voice and my writing out there, I’m sure it will resonate with someone.
