You dont want to suffer from burnout and your postings will clearly show that when you are starving for topics just to have something to write about.  Great site, it looks really nice.  I like the logo as others mentioned.

 

Take a look at my site let me know what you think!

 

Have a good one!

Is 3 posts per week sufficient to start?  I didn't want to blow through all my best topic ideas too fast and I wanted to give myself to do blog commenting in between posts.

I have already done one on Yakezie.

I'll try to pass on some knowledge on this forum.  I'm still learning the ropes of marketing a blog as my marketing experience has been with e-commerce and affiliate websites.  It looks like you're off to a decent start on your blog though.  I think it's mostly a matter of staying consistent with new posts and new links.  Try to make a point of getting links to each of your posts and social media exposure where possible.  Google traffic is great, but for stability, you want a wide variety of traffic sources.  That way it won't matter as much if Google changes their algorithm or if you lose rankings.

Looking forward to see what happens!

It would be awesome if you could check it out and let me know what you think.  Is there anything you would change or do differently?  Or maybe there are some things I need to keep in mind as I start my blogging journey.

 

Thanks!
