I started a blog to write my little heart out about all the topics I care about, but that turns about to be quiet a few. Not only have I read all the SEO guides I could find and am still none the wiser, but it seems that diversifying topics is the #1 mistake new bloggers make. Filmmaking, childhood trauma, drug addiction, poetry, youtube vlogs – they say I will never manage to build an audience this way.
At first I didn’t really care about gaining followers. Sure it feels nice, but I wasn’t after the numbers. But I definitely don’t want to confuse the people who are kind enough to follow me. Nor do I want to waste their time about topics they don’t care about. I feel blind sighted by all this blogging insight; after all, I’ve been writing for a while now, am I meant to delete all posts that are not about my number 1 topic? Are people meant to have a myriad of blogs for each subject they want to write about?
Honestly any kind of feedback is welcome. I’ve been really enjoying my time on here, but what I really want to do is help people get over their trauma alongside me. I want to start conversations about mental health, even if that means giving up this outlet I’ve grown to love for my poetry and movie discussion. Time for decisions now!
My blog Touched2mysoul.com is mainly about my journey as a survivor of childhood trauma. I also blog about my dogs, GOD, I write poetry and I have posted things regarding my experience being a parent. I was concerned about blurring the lines and not having just one topic. But for me my blog is an extension of me… I am a beautiful mixture of many experiences and ideas. I’m an original and so is my blog. Continue to write about what you want… your blog can be a extention of you and encase all the beautiful things that make up you. I wish you an enjoyable journey!
