The most important step you can take to grow your blog today

Monica Lent says the key to growing a blog is consistency. She uses Robin Wieruch’s growth, her own 2016 site, and her recent break from Twitter to show that progress depends on regular writing and sustained work.

Reading notes

#

• Consistency is presented as the main ingredient for growth.
• Robin Wieruch’s dev blog is described as the result of a multi-year habit, with something written every day.
• The email contrasts the idea of a single “cool trick” with years of steady publishing.
• Monica Lent says her own most successful site was started in 2016 and now has over 120 long articles.
• She says she had been consuming more than creating and wasting time on Twitter.
• The practical advice is to stop reading and write a blog post now, or schedule a recurring calendar event.
• The goal is to build the habit today and keep doing it every day or every week.
