My first Squarespace blog idea completely failed. Here’s why.
Sometimes it takes a few tries before you get something right.
I’ve had a Squarespace website for quite a few years now.
I initially signed up to Squarespace to have a space where I could advertise my freelance writing services and keep my writer portfolio.
However, the cost of Squarespace is the same whether you have 10 pages or 1000, so I tried to make the most of my domain by starting a small blog.
It didn’t work.
Why my first Squarespace blog failed
I wasn’t consistent enough. I posted around five blog posts and then stopped.
I was targeting a very small set of keywords.
My audience wasn’t in the right place.
Some success that I had with my first Squarespace blog
It wasn’t all bad, though.
In a job interview, my future manager told me she had read the blog posts I had put online and was impressed.
Several clients found me through my website — one an accessibility software tool, the other a local tour company.
