I met Lucy at a small cafe in Portland last summer.

She was typing away on her laptop, looking frustrated.

When I asked what was wrong, she told me she’d just shut down her blog after three years of getting nowhere.

Today, she runs a newsletter making $8,000 monthly with only 700 subscribers.

Here’s her actual story, not some made-up success fantasy.

The Failed Blog That Led to Success

Lucy’s blog about sustainable living got 50 visitors a month.

She’d tried everything — SEO, social media, guest posting.

Nothing worked.

But those three years taught her something valuable: people wanted specific solutions, not general advice.

💡 Speaking of solutions… I’m currently looking for a sales partner to help bring in and close ghostwriting clients.
