Time really does fly. It’s hard for me to believe that I’ve been married for a month and a half and that the summer is almost (gasp) over. I feel even worse when I realize how little attention my blog got. However, I know I made the right choice for me by putting my blog on hiatus for a while.
Sure I have a bunch of people yelling at me right now about lost subscribers, Google Juice and so on. But that can be rebuilt, like friends, if my subscribers are loyal, they will follow again when they know I’m updating. I took the time for me to develop as a person and start a new chapter in my life.
I’d rather have lost the traffic than put out a product/post that was quite simply crap. I’ve had some time to reflect over the summer and have a few posts in the back of my mind waiting to come out.
I plan to start the fall on a fresh note and really focus my blog’s attention more towards email marketing and analytics, the areas where I truly believe my passion lies. Sure a social media or search or (name the niche) type online marketing post may pop in here and there, but for the most part, I want my relaunch after “coming out of hibernation” to be something that provokes thought, discussion and more importantly, provides honest advice and tips/tricks to maybe, just maybe help you better your email marketing or analytics programs.
I’ve answered the age old question of whether or not I’ll change my name profressionally and I think I will as quite frankly I have too much else on the go to think about which name to use when
– so start thinking of me as Mrs. Rebecca Atkinson from now on.
Hope everyone had a happy, healthy and wonderously joyous summer. You can always email to get a link to pictures from the wedding and honeymoon at rebecca dot muller at rogers dot com (email will be last thing I change).
