Hey Keturah…it is tough in the beginning. Make sure you have SEO with Yoast, Jetpack Subscriptions (tried another and came back to it), Better Follow Button for Jetpack, Floating Social bar, and W3 Total Cache

In the past two weeks I have written two blog entries. I’ve shared both entries on Facebook and Twitter, and am feeling discouraged about the lack of interest others have in what I’ve written. I am stuck on #3 – any recommendations for plug-ins? I really appreciate your insight! Thank you so much for sharing 🙂

It helps so much to share!

Tried and true. I posted in the same linky party and got quite a few hits. Blogging can be very complicated and it’s great when we can share our war stories.

Wow, how about that?! Nice to know someone else could benefit from some of my experiences.

That’s what is so nice about developing friendships with other bloggers. We all get it! Thanks for stopping by.

Will we ever get these new blogs where we want them?? Perhaps you can set your mind at ease a little with the “not having enough content prepared” regret. I went that route and worked to have at least 15 posts already published before going live with my blog. I think my mother and 2 friends I specifically asked for feedback are the only ones who read them! So don’t beat yourself up about that one!

Yes, different mediums definitely click with different folks. It really helps to find things that gel with your personality, then you are more likely to keep up with them. Thanks for commenting!

At least that’s what I’ve found. I’m definitely not in the younger age group, but if you’re not comfortable exploring it is a tough place to see results.
