Why I decided to drop marketing blogging and get back to personal blogging
Did you have a blog when blogging became cool?
I remember starting a personal blog in 2004, and I loved it.
It had no business purpose – I was just sharing snippets, thoughts, word.games and personal experiences.
And even back then – it inspired people.
I remember how I felt when I got my first comments from people I touched – just by being me.
Just by saying what I wanted to say for myself, in my personal “online diary”.
I didn’t care about the amount of clicks, or likes, or shares – or how well it converted into something else.
Well, I miss it – so it’s coming back.
It’s as simple as that.
Blogging has become a different meaning when I started my online business.
We have a whole bunch of business blog posts that can be found via Pinterest pins and google search.
And honestly, I didn’t love it that much.
Blogging with a funnel purpose makes me filter my message.
“What could I say that will make them click, and then sign up for my email list?”
Blogging for business works – no question. But that’s not my purpose for this new blog.
I just want to be me.
I just want to share what’s on my heart.
And if it helps anyone, good – and if not, never mind.
I’m stripping away everything that doesn’t feel 100% exciting to me.
I’m bringing in things that might “not make sense”, but I never cared about that.
The more MYSELF I become, the more success I will create.
The more ME I am, the more money I will make.
The more ME you are, the more you will step into your purpose and the more you will impact other people.
