7 Things I Wish I Knew When I First Started Blogging

lessons I have learned in my 5 years of journey.

I started blogging as a side hustle to make more money and sponsor my own food while studying in college. I was shy to ask my father to give me money every week. This isn’t easy to make money while living in a developing country where the average wage per day is $8. Yes, you heard it right. You, after spending 8 hours in an odd job, make $8 and some people might be happy. This shows how happiness is inclusive of how much money you have.

I was in college and I started my own blog on a free blog spot, why I opted for a free blog? I have shared this story in one of Medium story, you can read it on the link given below.

After 5 years, I wish there was someone who could think of me these 7 things.

The most important thing you need on your blog to check whether your loading page loading speed under 1 second. Amazon lost millions of dollars in 2015 when Google rolled out a broad core update. Not every user when click on your link from Google, choose to wait for the 5 seconds to let the site load. You have done all the hard work and now, you lost a customer that may be very valuable for your business.

When I started blogging, I was curious about ranking my article. Google has the biggest share in the search engine market. So, any intelligent blogger will definitely try to target getting traffic from the search engine.

There is a website that helps you check your Blog post loading time, it is called “GTmetrix”
