I Teach Blogging: Blogging | WordPress

In this episode, we discuss - What does it mean to relaunch a podcast and to relaunch a blog?

Alright, so systems are getting easier to deal with. The tech is improving. WordPress is improving. Blogging is getting simpler BUT it is NOT easier.

Letting all of the distractions keep you from blogging is much easier than being brave enough to start creating new content. What if people judge us? What if no one cares?

He gave himself an easy path to momentum. https://www.amazon.com/shop/iteachblogging
