500 and something

It started with 1 then 50, 100, 300 and now 500. A few weeks ago, I reached 500 followers on this blog. I consider it an achievement because 500 is quite a lot of people. At the beginning of the year I wrote down that I wanted to grow this site and reach 500 followers, … Continue reading 500 and something →

When the numbers get you down

I try not to look at the stats very often because I never want to be too attached to the numbers. Of course it feels great when the numbers are high, when you're getting lots of likes, comments and new followers. But when the numbers drop and you're not seeing as many likes or views … Continue reading When the numbers get you down →

Who are my readers?

I recently listened to an episode of Akimbo where a listener asked Seth about who he thought his audience was. Seth's answer was pretty wonderful. It got me thinking about my own audience, my readers, people like you. For me it's never been about appealing to a particular demographic, age, race, social class, etc. I've … Continue reading Who are my readers? →

300 and counting

Last week, I noticed I was getting close to 300 followers, a few days ago I reached 300 followers and now I have surpassed it. I don't allow myself to pay too much attention to the number of followers I have on this blog. Followers doesn not equate to views, likes or comments and overall … Continue reading 300 and counting →

2 things your blog might be missing

So, I've recently been reflecting on how I can make this site better. The things that came up were adding categories and adding a search bar. Categories give the reader a good idea of what they can can expect. Catergories also give the blogger structure as if you have to ensure what you write fits … Continue reading 2 things your blog might be missing →

The best thing I’ve ever written

When you're sharing your words online everyday there is very little pressure for what you post to be the best thing you've ever written. If todays words aren't particularly good, I know that I can always write something better tomorrow or the day after. Sometimes what I consider to be my some of my best … Continue reading The best thing I’ve ever written →

Your audience might not be on Instagram

When it comes to putting your work out there it's really important to consider your audience. I think these days because Instagram is such a popular social media platform, we automatically think that our audience will be on there. We think it's the only way to find people that are interested in our work. I … Continue reading Your audience might not be on Instagram →

Doing it wrong

If I aksed someone for advice on how to make this site better, I have a pretty good idea of what they would say. The first thing is that I should use pictures to accompany my posts as a way to draw in readers. The second is that I should promote my content on social … Continue reading Doing it wrong →

Giving the people what they want

A few days ago, I wrote a post that did well numbers wise and I knew it would. It was the kind of thing that people like to read whilst also being useful. I don't advocate for writing for people as you'll never find your own voice or style that way. But in my previous … Continue reading Giving the people what they want →

300 and something

Time flies when you're daily blogging. I've written over 300 posts for this site and I've manged to not run out of ideas. If you'd have asked me 300 days ago what I'd be writing about towards the end of 2019 I'd have said 'I'm not sure'. But something I've realised is that each blog … Continue reading 300 and something →

What I love about writing on thedailygemm is that I can look back and remember the inspiration behind certain posts. Sometimes writing is just a way for me to work through a difficult situation, instead of getting caught up in the moment, I put the focus on finding a solution or looking at things from a different perspective. Haven't been writing on this blog lately. Instead I've been going to a weekly writing class and working on articles for something new. I love it when my most popular posts are also some of my personal favourites. September 2022 August 2022 July 2022 I that I'm able to write things that will be helpful to read months or even years later. Top posts from May last year. When I write from personal experience and it resonates, I always think, this is for us. It's for me being able to express myself and something that you can relate to.
