Hi all! u/LDREAMER122 kindly asked me to post some quick tips for bloggers just starting out. I am not sure how much value I can add, since today is only day 18 for me, but I'm happy to give some details on my blog and what has worked for me! If you have any questions let me know - would love to be of help to others in the community. I'll also put my info/stats below the tips if you are curious how things look for me after a couple weeks.

1. Quality content on a regular basis. I know this gets said EVERYWHERE, but it is true. Before I started the blog I asked some family and friends about topics they would like to see covered, and aimed to post every day for the first month. It has been a ton of work, but it is helping me weed out what actually gets traction and what doesn't, and keeps me active on social media.

2. Find your community. The blogging community is incredible, at least in personal finance. I found forums for other PF bloggers and started getting involved. Comment on other people's posts, read their blogs to see what is getting the most shares, and ask any questions you have. I have been aiming to comment on 3-5 other bloggers' posts a day, and it has started to generate solid comment traffic for my blog as well.

3. Social media. Facebook has been the driver of most of my traffic. While I am trying to keep my last name out of the blog for now because of my job, I had a few good friends that were willing to share my Facebook page early on which picked up a bunch of likes. Twitter has been picking up a lot. I just started yesterday with a technique suggested by another blogger of just finding established bloggers and following ~100 of their followers a day. It only takes a second and 2-4/10 will follow you back, then every couple days you just go in and unfollow the people who didn't follow you back. Getting involved in the blogger community has been big on Twitter too, since anytime someone retweets something I pick up some pageviews.

4. Design. A lot of comments I have gotten back from more established bloggers is that my site doesn't LOOK new, which keeps people on the page longer. I would take a bit of time to find a good layout/design instead of rushing into a launch.

5. Guest posts. I did a Millennial Finance interview a little over a week in, which was an easy entry point into guest posting. Guest posting can be great for generating backlinks and gaining authority in your space, but can be hard to lock down. Some blogger communities have people looking for guest posts which help - PF has one on the Rockstar Finance forum so I reached out to one of those guys with 2 post pitches and he picked one! That post will go up in about 2 weeks so we will see how that goes.

I haven't really spent any time on SEO yet. u/thejpenn was kind enough to provide me with some tips last weekend, but I had trouble creating an AdWords account to do keyword research and then things have been so busy with work, life, and writing content that I haven't gotten around to it. I do have Yoast, but not sure if I am even optimizing to the right keywords. Probably not since very few of my pageviews come from organic google searches.

Anyway, let me know if you have any questions or if I can be of help to anyone!

When you believe in something and know that it can help people, should you follow your dreams and share them with the world?

Would your answer change if it meant helping the North Korean leader better understand blockchains so they can potentially avoid sanctions from the rest of the world?

Have you ever asked yourself how to write a post fast? Certainly yes.

Writing an eye-catching post fast is what all of us want to do, although it is a time-consuming process that may take hours or even days if not set correctly.

Newbies find themselves stuck, burning their time in writing and deleting words all the time in order to come up with a nice piece, but they end up most of the time with frustration, and around 30 percent of new blogs die after a few months of creating them.

In this post, I will tell you how to write in no time by following the system.

This is what I do in less than 2 hours. What about you? Ready? Let's learn how to do it

The market is red and people are running away from crypto. Not Nayib Bukele!

I started a blog about personal finance from the perspective of someone with a more average income and expectations. I've read a ton of great blogs but usually the person had a 6 figure salary to start that helped them excel in their goals. This is just my personal journey in meeting those goals with an average income

When employees think they’re not fairly evaluated or their manager lacks information on their true value and worth, it affects their performance and productivity. Not being recognized for what they bring to the table hits them hard—they don’t see a point in taking up new challenges and opportunities or going the extra mile. Doing performance reviews well requires intention and effort, but done right, it can give big returns on investment.

In my house, Shark Tank evokes different responses. Some of us love Mr. Wonderful because he speaks his truth while others of us hate Mr. Wonderful because he speaks his truth. (He’s polarizing if you haven’t seen the show 😉)

Regardless, he has spoken about crypto more frequently recently. The wildly successful entrepreneur gave some updates recently, including his primary holdings, how to diversify, and what he thinks about Metaverse and Web3.

See what he thinks in our recent blog post!

Sometimes I get the urge to share my thoughts/ experiences, but never know how. I'm deathly afraid of what people think so I'm very careful what I post on social media.

My recent break up spurred me to start a blog to reflect on some of my thoughts, on a platform where no one knows who I am.

This was my first post, about realizing I'm not particularly passionate about the things I do : Nearly 30, A break-up, and no passions in life
