Susie, I absolutely agree with you. Nowadays, it seems the science rules over the art a bit. You can be creating quality content every day, but if the traffic is not growing and no one sees it, the art just gets […]

Thanks so much for this article, Mishka! I was writing down my “1 week grand plan” or things i have to get done before I head to NY last night, and my list was very similar to what you have pointed out here. One […]

Sarah, it’s so good to hear, this could be helpful to you in some way.
You are right, unfortunately, growth sometimes is not easy. It is so worth it though.

Hi Sheryl,

I don’t really have the experience with this because my readers are not given the chance to subscribe via email, but the first thought that came to my mind is that you definitely shouldn’t email the […]

This is such a good post. It shows that even though we, bloggers, sometimes can feel very alone behind the computer screen, we are all very similar and together in the same struggles and joys. Others might not […]

Thanks for your honesty!!! I definitely have to admit that I suck when it comes to replying to comments. It’s just a part of blogging that baffles me. I truly appreciate and and take into account every comment, […]

Another article saved in my “blogging tips” folder!
I do have a quick question. You said that guest posting is one of the best ways to build links. Do you have any other examples to do it?
Thanks so […]

Thanks so much for this article. These types of articles are encouraging because they show that there are ways.
Same as Sarah, I’ve been thinking about developing my own collection.

“your blog is just an article while your social media is the actual magazine. Your posts fit into your brand, not vice versa.” Bam! This opened my eyes and gave me a totally different perspective. Thank you.
And […]
