I’ve done some soul searching over the weekend and have tried to figure out the best way to pivot this website. I’ve decided that it is going to remain a personal blog, it just has to be more intentional in its’ purpose.

Like I said, the main goal of the blog is to not make money, it is to hold myself accountable in my progress. However, I would like for the blog to have at least have some interactions from readers. To do this, I would like for this blog to eventually blossom into a resource for other potential bloggers to use when curious about other people’s experiences when first starting out. I have found that the one thing that would be very helpful in doing this is hearing from someone who has gone through this process and hearing what they have to say from beginner to expert.

Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of experts to hear about from the internet. This blog is going to be an approach coming more so from a personal lens, showcasing my process, what I am doing, and how that works out for me. Rather than posting daily, my posts will come once at the beginning of the week, and once at the end of the week. The beginning of the week post will outline what I plan to do, my goals, and what I want to accomplish. The end of the week post will include what I did, if I reached my goals or not, and the resources that I used to get there.

These changes will force me to reformat my homepage, but I am not too worried about that at the moment. Once I start producing more quality posts, I suspect that the organizational aspect of my website will begin to fall into place (I’m hoping at least). I believe that the stress I am taking away from forcing myself to post daily will allow me to focus on more important things that will be more productive in reaching my long term goals.

All that being said, here is what I plan to do and accomplish this week:

• Start social media for this blog (Linkedin, Twitter, Pinterest? (i’ve heard it is very helpful))
• Start my official blog: Online Caddie – A website for people just learning the game of golf to get information that they need when first starting out
• Come up with a list of possible content to write on that blog. Start writing a post
• Figure out a way to share resources on a blog while giving proper credit (I plan to utilize this a lot on Daily Content Writer)

Online Caddie is my blog that I will be going “all in” on. This is the blog that I will be actively using SEO tactics on, attempting to gain followers and traffic, and ultimately be the website that I would like to and expect to make money on first. Much of what I write about on Daily Content Writer will be directly related to whatever is happening on Online Caddie. The ultimate goal is to do well enough with one or either of these sites so that I can eventually start another one in a different niche and have even quicker success.

As expected, the start of my blogging journey is a bit bumpy with some audibles to my original plan. I feel good about the plan I have, and feel motivated enough to attack it with overwhelming positivity, because that is the best way to do anything. Thank you for following along, I will check back in at the end of the week.
