The Cool Blogger’s Personal Blogging Diary
Why a Diary?
But think about it for a moment! This is an epic moment in our blogging journey. How cool is that? Even though there are many bloggers on my team, I am going to write this as though I was the only one working on this blog. Having cleared that, let’s proceed.
As a blogger, I often find that I have nowhere to express my thoughts, my aspirations and the rapid fire thoughts on what to do that skip through my mind. So I am going to write this diary daily if I can. Be sure to bookmark it so you can return to see my progress.
February
A new month begins. And we are stocked to continue blogging. What is going to happen to us this month? How are we going to manage? Are we going to be reactive to blogging or are we going to be totally in control of our blogging? Let’s see.

Yesterday was one of the worst days of my blogging journey. I had written a lot of content on a certain program where I hoped to become an affiliate.
It was with shock that I woke up this morning and found that I had been denied entry into this program that pays really well. The program also advertises a lot, is well known and I have heard people say that it converts easily. As I was wallowing in self-pity, I decided to write a blog post about getting rejected.
It still hurts though. But Blogging is Cool, regardless. Because I like writing. Click Here to read the post

Today was one of those days where I woke up with no energy and couldn’t get out of bed. It is very hard to motivate oneself as a self-employed entrepreneur when there are no visible results. Matter of fact, I visited a blog I have recently worked on really hard and saw that my AdSense income for the day was $0.25. What is one to buy with $0.25?
And this is a blog I have been working on for months. It is in the travel niche so there is a lot of competition but travel niches usually pay higher than most, so I am going to stick in there. Nevertheless, because I was so demotivated, I spent the day on YouTube. I learned a little bit and will be updating these posts about YouTube. Click Here to read the post

It is a nice day out. However, my blogging dashboard is giving me bad vibes. This is because I glanced at my Yoast Scores. The Yoast dashboard, is where you get this message: Below are your published posts’ SEO scores. Now is as good a time as any to start improving some of your posts!
Upon going through the Yoast dashboard, I learned that they have analysed 448 posts. Out of those, only 3 have a ‘good’ score. 29 have an ‘ok’ score. The rest are ungradable! Yikes.
As of today, I am purposing to rewrite at least one post daily. And rewriting at least 20 meta descriptions. Here is an article to refer to about improving your website. Click here to read the post.
