Most blogs don’t die because of bad SEO; they die because the creator wasn’t prepared for the journey. They hit their first growth plateau, lose momentum, and vanish.
A blog without a plan is just a slow-motion failure.
Success belongs to the intentional. This category is about the mental game and the high-level strategy that happens before you ever touch a WordPress dashboard. We’re moving past the excitement of a new idea and diving into the cold reality of what it takes to win: asking the hard questions, avoiding the common pitfalls that sink 90% of new blogs, and building a mindset that treats blogging as a marathon, not a sprint.
This is where you sharpen the axe before you start chopping. If you get your head right and your roadmap clear, the rest is just a matter of time.
