Hi Carol! I agree, it’s good to connect on a regular basis. I’m down with a quarterly zoom call.

The cafe noise is mostly white noise for me although every once in a while I hear people having intriguing conversations 🙂 The noise at home usually requires my intervention which breaks up my workflow.

Regarding Ahrefs, I’m not really sure which direction I’m going yet. Ahrefs runs on credits so I don’t think it works well for sharing anymore. SEMRush might be an option for sharing.

Thanks! Let’s chat sometime when you have time. Happy 2023!

Thank you for organizing this, Colby. I made a dedicated 2023 plan but it is nice to have one post for pet blogger journey content.
I would really like to attend a conference that makes sense for me, be cognizant of what the pandemic looks like at the time, wear a mask, and meet up with other dedicated pet bloggers like yourself.
I’d like to have regular content with fellow dedicated pet bloggers, even with a quarterly Zoom or something either way.
You asked about how not to have the isolation feelings. I never felt this because my wife is with me at home and my dog is our co-worker.
I can’t work with background noise like in a cafe, so this suits me perfectly.
I do think we all need to come together, even if on a Zoom quarterly call and connect.
I would love to know if you are going to do AHREFs and are interested in someone going in on it with you. I am considering this.
Congratulations on all your successes. You are one of my pet blogging role models.
I enjoyed reading your post and happy 2023. Let me know your thoughts on the above.

In reply to Candy Pilar Godoy.

No problem. I didn’t announce the PBJ this year but I still like to write a post and read others. I’m glad you brought it up in our small Mediavine group.

Over the years I’ve only gone to a handful of blogging conferences. I was planning to go to Mediavine in Baltimore but it got cancelled. I’m hoping they’ll bring that conference back. I attended the Mediavine Conference when it was in Austin. Maybe something will pop up this year.

Thanks again for pinging me on this. All the best to you in 2023!

Thanks for organizing this Colby! I look forward to these every year.

The isolation of being a blogger is one of the worst things about blogging! IMO. It can get lonely. It’s been tough to build community, especially when things like conferences were on hold due to the pandemic. I’m not going to any but I’d love to in the future! I still remember my first (and last) Blog Paws fondly.
