I didn’t post yesterday, it was halloween sue me. I thought I was going to be more productive today, but based on how much i’ve accomplished so far, i’m afraid this day will essentially be a wash. I realized I need to identify what I want this page to be and execute that better. I want it to be a personal blog, that has my thoughts, feelings, and reactions to everything I learn and go through as I become a content writer. The unfortunate reality is, I don’t think that will make this website conducive to earning money.

I know, monetizing this blog was never the original goal of it. But if i’m paying for the domain and am learning about SEO anyways, it seems like a bit of a waste not to. I tried to look around for information on how personal blogs are able to gain a following through SEO, but there is not much there. Much of what I found out was social media posting. I do plan on starting a linkedin account for this website, and possibly a twitter page. However, I don’t feel as if an Instagram account or facebook account would be a good fit for the vibe I am trying to go for here. Also I hate those apps with a passion.

While I am going through this predicament about this website, I have plans to start another one. As stated in about the author, my current job is a pro shop manager at a golf course. I plan to start a website tailored to beginners in the game of golf, as the game has only been growing ever since the pandemic. I am excited to start a website that is actually more in my area of expertise. I believe that this website will be easier to use SEO tactics on, as well as gain traffic and monetize because I have a clear vision as to how this will fill a need for people.

While not much did get done or learned today, I am still trying to be optimistic about my progress. There are still many places to go from here, I just have to keep my motivation up for it.
