Then and now, How my blog first started and how it’s going now

Hey everyone! So today, I’m going to give some insight as to how my blog started vs. how it’s going now. 

Let’s get into it.

Back track 6 years ago

So what happens is that 6 years ago, I really wanted to launch my music blog. However, I wasn’t sure of how to do it. 

I wasn’t sure of how I could make this blog a success. But I started to pray about it. And then, I learned the number one most important rule of blogging and that’s that, you need to be creating a lot of content on a daily basis. 

And it takes a long time to do it.

Now, I setup my blog with a really basic setting at the time, I put up a couple of pictures, made a couple of pages, and then I had my blog.

I remember my first month blogging, I actually made around 24 views that month. 

Which is really nothing compared to how much you’re supposed to make a month. I literally thought to myself that I was going to make it big within a few months and I was going to be rolling in the dough soon enough. 

But in the third month, I remember that all I got was 15 views for the whole month. How devastating!! I had worked all of those 3 months to see my biggest failure of a month so soon. 

But I kept going and in the 6th month, I made 119 views that single month. 

Yes I felt so recuperated at that point. 

The 7th month came and I only made 60 views but then, a family emergency happened and I was forced to go on a break. Yes I remember so clearly, it was some dark times at this time. I faced homelessness, joblessness, it was terrible. 

I just prayed about it and shook it off. 

The Lord answered in those days. 

Yes the Lord answered. 

However, I was faced with a dilemma 4 months after that, I felt as if though I couldn’t continue the blog. I felt as if though I had failed at the blog. So I said to myself, “I have 2 options, either continue what I started or start over and hit it right this time.”

It was a tough decision because a bunch of the gurus on the internet recommend starting over, but other people recommend staying in. So I had to choose, and I remember praying hard and long about it. 

I remember I spent many nights before I did anything just thinking about what I should do next. 

And finally, I came to the conclusion, stay in.

I stayed in and I started posting blog posts up to my blog again and would you believe that immediately, I saw a big jump in my statistics, I saw nearly 200 views in a single month, which was the biggest month that I had ever had. 

Apparently the Lord lead me to the right decision, like he always does. 

Now

My biggest month was more than 900 views in a single month. I’ve won a few badges too from wordpress.com. I consistently get between 500 and 700 views per month. The Lord is good.

It was a long gradual haul if I’m quite honest with you. 

But with the Lord’s help, I will continue to do this for years to come. 

Only God has the future in his hands, only him.
