Excellent post, Zach! You offer great advice here and you mentioned a few areas I’ve failed at. I really like how you encouraged sharing personality and your point about no rules is awesome. Congratulations on your 500th post and on all your success with blogging. I look forward to seeing how the next year will turn out.

Excellent post. As a relatively new blogger, I really enjoy posts like this. It reminds me of how you like when bloggers share their net worth journey.

Personally, I find it really easy to fall into the trap of writing solely for oneself. It’s important to remember to “respect the reader”, as you put it in the first section. I’m going to sticky note that to remind myself when I write.

Hey Zach, congratulations!

It seems like less than a year ago that I read your 200th blog post. And now, it’s 500? Insane. Just, insane.

As a blogger just starting out, I really look forward to all your tips about blogging. I love how you focus all your energy on writing and publishing, and I feel so inspired by your perspective on new voices and quirkiness. Every single day (no joke), I question myself and the stuff I write about, wondering whether anyone would be willing to read it. Your words of encouragement – truly motivating.

Keep writing Zach, and I’ll keep reading every single one. Looking forward to your 1000th post. 🙂
