I’m all smiles today, as I reflect on three years of blogging at web-strategist.com. <\/p>\n
Although I’ve been blogging about web strategy previously on Blogspot, Yahoo 360 for a few years prior, things really started to get serious when I launched this domain<\/a>. <\/p>\n Over the three years, the technorati rank of this blog has settled around the 500 range (the lower the better) and it’s unlikely it will drop lower as I’m not a news breaking site, or have a team of writers like many of the top 100. <\/p>\n What’s worked for me? Pay yourself first<\/a>. I put in a lot of passion, and read and blog nearly every morning (It’s 3:51am right now) before I check any email (which is paying someone else), have an editorial calendar, and am slowly writing drafts (there are 413 of them right now) each day as I collect little bits of information, or get ideas. I’ve learned to integrate the blog into many of my communications as a central hub, then use the social tools to pollinate and let the blog disperse to other locations. <\/p>\n Perhaps the best thing is that this has become more of a collaboration between us because we as a community are learning from each other. Although I’ve written 2,292 posts in these three years, yet there have been 42,694 comments and trackbacks, nearly 20 voices to my one. I still <\/em>read every single comment, and skim most blog incoming blog posts, I learn a lot –especially when you don’t agree, or put me in check. <\/p>\n I really look forward to the next few years, thank you for being here with me and talking and learning with<\/em> me. Thanks you<\/em> for making this a fun project that turned into a career for me, let’s continue to share both ways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m all smiles today, as I reflect on three years of blogging at web-strategist.com.
