Memorable Quotes:

"What happens when we don't plan ahead or create a schedule is we have no buffer days. What happens with a lot of bloggers is they're not ahead of their content and they don't have it scheduled out, so when they have bad days, nothing happens...Maybe for that week, nothing is published and they ghost their audience."

"Having too many categories on your blog can make your viewers uninterested...If you're adding more categories, you need to build them slowly over time, or you might not be known for anything."

"You have to be your number 1 fan and put your content out there over and over and over again."
