Seth Godin’s 10,000 Blog Posts

I will never catch up to the amount of blog posts Seth Godin has. He’s approaching 10,000. If I write every day for the next 27 years, I will have 10,000 posts. And Seth will have 20,000 posts.

Let’s skip my teenage years. Those blog days, though nostalgic, are personal and for friends. I wasn’t out sharing to help others in any conscious way. I was writing and sharing because it was fun to do so.

If I had kept my blog up from 2008 until now, assuming I wrote daily (I didn’t), I’d have about 6,200 posts. Still not Seth’s 10,000. But significantly closer.

I hear it from all different corners of the internet:

Don’t post on your blog, no one reads blogs!

Post on social media!

It’s all happening on X/Twitter!

Social media has replaced websites!

I disagree.

I have a Substack. I like Substack, but I also like having my own little hub. All of my favorite internet people have their own hub. Seth Godin, Elizabeth Gilbert, Austin Kleon, Cal Newport, Jenny Blake, Darius Foroux, and many, many, MANY more, have and maintain websites.

They also have email lists and (in some cases) social media.

But they also still have and use their websites.

I don’t have any illusions as to who’s reading my posts. It’s a small number, but nevertheless, you’re here.

And so am I.
