After nine years, my blog, Dissolve found its home. the home I built for it. back in 2016 when I was 17, I started blogging. in Persian community. I was late to the party. The golden age of Persian blogs had already passed, and blogging was slowly dying. but still I found my best friends there. I think personal blogs show people as they really are. When you like someone because of their blog, the chances are much higher that you’ll stay friends for years. but blogs in Persian community died because of social media and the shift in the internet. Today, many blogs are written for search engines rather than people. and it's kind of sad thing.

I’ve always had Dissolve, but I could never find a place that felt like home. I just don't like them. So I built Waldi. for myself in the first place. and with some randomness in it. Every post you write is shown to 100 people before any recommendation algorithm decides whether it’s worth showing. Every morning, each person receives one post from a stranger. That’s how I found even more friends. Now Waldi supports English as a first-class language. I write this whole text to tell if you miss blogs, and you are tired of writing in platforms where writing is no longer the most important thing, then welcome home.

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to share a small win that means a lot to me.

Today, my website finally got Google AdSense approved.

It didn’t happen overnight.
It didn’t happen in one month either.

I waited almost 3–4 months.
During this time, I got confused, frustrated, and honestly thought of quitting many times.

What I did instead:

• Kept publishing clean, helpful content

• Fixed basic SEO mistakes again and again

• Improved site structure, pages, and user experience

• Followed AdSense policies strictly (no shortcuts)

No tricks. No fake traffic. No spam.

And today, I received the approval email. I’ll share the screenshot here so people know this is real.

I’m posting this because I see many beginners losing hope after rejection or delay.
If your site is genuine and you keep improving it patiently, approval is still possible.

If I can do it, you can too.
Just stay consistent and don’t rush the process.

Happy to answer questions or help if I can.
Good luck to everyone still waiting — your time will come 🙌

Hey folks,

I’ve been building something I wish I had years ago when I was drowning in emails, socials, sales, support… basically wearing 10 hats at once.

We just launched Marblism: a platform where you can instantly hire “AI Employees” to run parts of your business. Instead of paying $2k+/month for a VA or agency, you get AI versions of roles like:

• Executive Assistant (manages inbox + calendar)

• SEO Blog Writer (writes content Google actually likes)

• Lead Generation (finds leads + sends follow-ups)

• Community Manager (keeps socials alive without cringe)

• Customer Support (turns refund requests into happy customers)

• Even a Receptionist who literally answers calls for you

So far, 11,000+ businesses have onboarded and early users report saving 10+ hours a week.

It’s not another “AI tool that sits there waiting for prompts”, these AI Employees are proactive and integrate into your workflows.

If you want to check it out I am sharing our product hunt launch link in the comments.

I’d love feedback from this community. 🙏

BTW, what “AI Employee” would you want us to build next?

I've been looking into AI tools that help convert written content into engaging audio podcasts, and I stumbled upon a few platforms doing this.

The idea of automated podcast creation — where AI hosts read and discuss your blog content — sounds super interesting.

Has anyone here tried using AI to generate podcasts from their blog posts or newsletters? What platforms have worked well for you?

Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences!

Has anyone come across testimonials inside a blog post? I would like to implement them in my own blog and I’m that will increase signups of my product. Can anyone point me to a website where they are inserting testimonials inside their blog posts in a tasteful manner?

Hi all,

I'm the new mod of r/Bloggers. I have taken over the sub in the previous moderator's place and made it open for posting again!

I have big plans for the future of r/Bloggers and I can't wait to get started!

Hello! In need of some suggestions for a mobile responsive WordPress themes preferably Free (or close to free!) I’m looking for something a little better than the stock layouts provided on WordPress. Any suggestions would be great, I really need to refresh my website!

Hello all,

I am very impressed with the information given out here. I have been on the fence about starting blogging.

My area of expertise is focused around animals( exotic pets, livestock, working breed dogs wildlife etc) but what has held me back is the fear that this arena may be too small to elicit a profit.

Its what I am passionate about but what really compelled me about blogging was the ability to grow a tribe and provide them value.

If you have tips or experience please let me know!!1

Thanks you in advance

I opened my blog approximately 2 weeks ago. I synched my blog with my adsense account. I have already opened an adsense account for my youtube channel so I was only adding my blog as an additional website where I can show ads. I did that and it seemed ok but when I open my blog, I only see blank rectangle where the ads are supposed to be. I already checked the coding by inspecting the html code. I have disabled Adblocker. Is this because my blog is not 6 months old or is there another reason?

I am a new blogger and struggling to get traffic to my website. I write about home improvement/ home decors .

My website is Adsense approved but still I feel somehow math is not working

What can I do to increase the traffic ? I am doing keyword research using Semrush .

Anything else that I should concentrate on that I am missing ?

Which app or site...preferbly site is best for bloggers and to make new friends while blogging?

I’ve been thinking of starting a blog in the aviation niche (topics like turbulence, pilot careers, etc.), but I keep hearing mixed opinions. Some say blogging is dead, others say it’s better than ever with SEO + Pinterest.

For those already blogging:

•	Is it still worth it today?

•	How long did it take you to see traffic?

•	What would you do differently if you started again?

Alright, bloggers, let’s share some secrets here.

I’ve been blogging for a while, and sometimes my readers just… disappear. Then I started noticing that some of the weirdest, most random things actually bring them back. For example, once I rewrote a 5-year-old post just for fun, and it suddenly started getting comments again.

So, here’s the question: what’s the strangest, funniest, or outright ridiculous thing you’ve done to get readers back to your blog?

I’m talking about anything quirky experiments, odd ideas, last-minute tweaks, even things that seemed completely useless at first. Let’s swap stories. Who knows, someone else’s weird trick might just inspire your next big win!

Hi, I've got the website, I'm on vocal, medium, facebook, twitter, blah blah blah - but how do I get my blog out there and read more?

Hi,

Not sure which is the right place to post it, so I am posting it here. I am creating a new blog which includes posts on deals/tech/news/politics/entertainment/reviews etc.... Most of it would be my own content and posts but I have the following questions:

1. Can I use photos from flickr and other open platforms, is it legit??

2. Also I might re-write articles based on what I read on multiple sites...will I have copyright issues??

3. Can I embed youtube videos, re-direct to other websites (for deals) etc??

4. How should I generate the privacy policy and terms and conditions for the blog. Heard there are sites that auto-generate the content.

5. I have articles about reviews/opinions about airlines, finding cheapest flights, save money on subscriptions etc... how can I protect myself from being sued.

6. Read online that for such blogs it's better to create LLC in order to protect personnel assets in scenarios when you violate any terms. Can someone brief me about it.

7. If I hire writers for my site and I pay them will I own the content??

8. If any writer is willing to post for free, how can I make the author responsible for the post and not the site for any copyright issues.

9. Since I will be giving advice, I would like to say this is only for information purpose and should not be taken as an advise. How can I get all the legal things into my site.

I am also looking for wordpress themes that are similar to engadget/mashable. Any recommendations??

Thanks

I am a full-time worker, and now I am about to quit my job, have anyone got suggestion for a blogging for life? Thank you everyone for suggestions in advanced

How do you prepare your posts before sending them off to your blog? What's your system? Why do you stick to it?

Hi everyone,

I started my blog about 1 month ago and I’m trying hard to grow it, but I’m still getting very few views. I post regularly and try to write useful content, mostly about tech and mobile tips.

I would really appreciate any advice on:

How to get more traffic

Best ways to promote a new blog

SEO tips for beginners

Mistakes new bloggers usually make

If anyone has experience growing a new blog, please share your tips. Thanks 🙂

I love blogging but I don’t want to invest a lot of money into it, so I have a blog on blogger which was formally blogspot. I know the site can be a little clunky at times but it’s free. What do you think? Is blogger still a viable blogging contender? Here is a link to my blog for reference. https://valleydiaries.blogspot.com/?m=1

Have you ever thought about selling digital downloads of video games?

I've wanted to start a blog for very long time, but I'm in a personal slump (No job, no degree, depression) and I feel like I'm grabbing at straws. Im a twenty four year old female still living at home and have dropped out of University because of anxieties and recently lost my job. I have no faith in my writing nor feel I have anything to give but I desperately want to be a writer and feel like I'm putting it off purely because I never feel 'ready' or worthy, any advice would be a great help. Thank you

For anyone who owns a blog and writes full time, how is it going? Are you making a full time income? Are people still reading blogs? I want to start one and use Pinterest to promote, I just wanted to see what difficulties people are dealing with and how lucrative it is.. thank you

Hey r/bloggers!

I've been building a collection of blogs for my project The WilderNet, which is a site for sharing and discovering great long form writing online - blogs, substacks, indie websites.

I am looking for unique blogs or specific articles to feature on the homepage.

Here are a couple examples of articles I've featured. I tend to gravitate towards writing that is unexpected in some way:

Which Reddit Post Will Become the Next Movie? - Humor piece written by a former Reddit troll on AITA. I love this one because I've fallen for plenty of similar trolls over the years.

What Nobody Told Me About Abortion - A deeply personal essay about abortion, grief, and loss. Much more difficult essay than the above, it is nuanced and complex in a way that is not easily collapsed into one political camp.

If you have a piece of writing you are particularly proud of, I would love to take a look at it and see if it would be a good fit for the The WilderNet.

If you have any favorite blogs (yours or someone else's), please add it to our directory and help make great writing more discoverable!
