Today is special for 2 reasons : first, it’s my birthday and I have actually taken the day off. I’m treating myself to a long week-end in Dubai at the Raffles hotel, and intend to fully enjoy their exceptional spa treatments 🙂
… And second, this my 100th blog post. A big milestone ! When I started Compensation Insider late last August, all I could think of was : will be able to sustain writing 3 posts per week for even 2 months ? And here we are, a little over 7 months later. I have maintained the rythm, and to my surprise, discovered that there is still a lot that I want to write about so you can expect to see more new content.
They say blogging is a marathon not a sprint, and it is very true. Most of the time, it takes me 2 hours to put together a post, between getting the idea, structuring my thoughts, the actual writing, and then all the work around the post itself such as optimising it for search engines and finding pictures. And of course, I also take some more time to read about blogging and learning new techniques so that I can try to deliver an engaging experience to my readers to the best of my ability.
Today I want to share with you the lost of the top 10 most read posts so far, and I will also share with you which posts are my personal favorites. I hope this will give you an opportunity to explore some posts you may have missed, and if you are new to Compensation Insider, don’t hesitate to subscribe by mail or RSS to receive my latest writing automatically !
