I’m going to disagree: more content = faster growth, period

when i increased from 1 post per week to 3 posts per week, my traffic growth tripled

why posting frequency matters:

more posts = more keywords you can rank for
more indexed pages = more authority signals
more content = more ...

I make money because of my blog, but not from my blog directly

the blog is my marketing engine, not my business

my income breakdown:

Don't quit your job

I've been creating content for 4 years, make $3,500/month from it, and still have my full time job. here's why:

Your unique voice comes from being unapologetically yourself, not from trying to manufacture uniqueness

things i tried that didn't work:
- copying other creators' styles
