Yes, yes, yes! I managed to do that! Today, it is the first anniversary of running this blog.
I started to do it exactly one year ago, which is on the 1st of September 2017. I could give you some statistics, for example, about how many posts and photographs I published, but I mentioned in one of my previous posts that numbers are not as much important to me. Nevertheless, I believe that this anniversary is the right moment to write some summarize, and add a supplement to my blog. I decided to launch an Instagram account (@adammazekcom). Why? Naturally, to increase the traffic on this website. I want to receive a broader, worldwide audience. Does that mean that there were not as many people watching my site as I wish during the first year? Of course not.
The numbers were sufficient. I even had two photography exhibitions.
Also, I started to receive questions regarding selling my Art. These are good prognostics, but they are not crucial factors determining whether it was a successful year. You can ask, my Dear Friend:
If the numbers are not the essential factor in measuring your blog’s success, what is the crucial element to success for you?
I would answer: it is the enduring of my activity. Before I launched my website, I read a lot about managing a blog, and I learned that many people are giving up running a blog for the first 3-9 months after launching it. To avoid that, I decided to write a lot of content before I started this blog. Unconsciously the same thing happened with my pictures. Before I launched, I already possessed tonnes of images taken on the streets of Warsaw. To be more precise, I started to do photographs regularly two years before starting this blog.
What are my plans for the upcoming months and years? I do not have any individual plans and expectations. I aim to have good fun and continue all my work, which is creating texts and photographs. We all have only one life, and I believe it is an excellent thing to possess a hobby that brings you, your relatives, and friends a pure joy.
PS
On the occasion of the anniversary, today I am publishing four photographs which were shown here before. Enjoy!
