Howdy, howdy howdy.<\/p>\n

In late February (early March) of 2022, I started a brand new baby blog.<\/p>\n

The baby blog is in the art\/drawing niche. (Name to be revealed later)<\/p>\n

Initially, I assumed it was pretty low-competition so I thought it would be a cinch entering it.<\/p>\n

But there is only so much research you can do before you start a blog.<\/p>\n

Once you start a blog, and you start writing about different topics, you begin to actually get a good understanding of the niche and who’s dominating it.<\/p>\n

I realized that there are HUGE drawing blogs that have paid artists to create 10-20 blog posts for them daily.<\/p>\n

I cannot even in a million years compete with that.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t matter if the drawing is crap, they’ve managed to push out tons and tons of posts that have covered drawing almost every possible thing.<\/p>\n

This means, that there is very little wiggle room for me to make my mark.<\/p>\n

Now, I know that my art is slightly unique and I have 1 advantage – I don’t sound like a robot.<\/p>\n

I’m an actual human being that does my own drawings and breaks down those drawings for kids and adults in a very simple way.<\/p>\n

I also write like how I talk – this I’m hoping is my number 1 advantage.<\/p>\n

But only time will tell.<\/p>\n

Because as you all know, it takes at least 6-8 months (sometimes more) to actually start seeing traffic growth.\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

I started this blog for 3 reasons:<\/p>\n
