Happy New Year. I know it’s been a while. Life simply happened and I lost the urge to write and publish here. I have been contemplating whether to still keep this blog or just shut it down and move on with life. It’s been challenging keeping a career, managing a home with two children and still keeping a blog.
The other reason for my silence is the fact that the blogging and social media space keeps evolving. If you’ve been in it for a while, you may have hanged your boots, changed your niche or considered leaving at some point. I was having a conversation with my husband recently about how the world keeps shifting towards fast content, thus, most people’s preference for short videos and reels instead of reading real content which may take them about 10 -15 minutes on social media. I have seen a number of bloggers who are actually shutting their pages and focusing on other things due to the low numbers of visitors and readers to their blogs.
What I am saying is that it takes a lot of willpower and conviction to keep a blog running in the era that we find ourselves in. The famous question people ask is how rewarding or lucrative blogging is and my current response is, I think it’ll be good to find other reasons to keep a blog than the money bit of it.
This year, I have come to the conclusion that I want to keep this blog. I want to write more frequently because I had a deep conviction about this space before it was birthed. My focus will not be about the number of readers I have and keep. I need this space to share what I learn as a Christian in my daily walk. Be my accountability partner – nudge me when you think I am breaking this promise. You can always find me on Twitter and Instagram (christian_blog_ghana). Let’s reconnect!
What about you? What are some of the things you hope to do this year?
