Everyone wants to talk about “going viral.”
But ask most people what’s really holding them back, and you’ll hear the same answer:
“I just can’t break through the first 10k.”
That first 10,000 is the hardest part of the journey.
Because in the early days, you’re posting into silence.
A few likes here, a handful of impressions there.
And you start wondering if it’s even worth it.
I lived that reality. When I started, I was still in my 9-to-5.
I was waking up at 5 am to write, post, and engage before work.
I was batch-creating content on weekends.
I was squeezing comments and DMs into my lunch breaks.
And still, most posts pulled in 400 or 500 views.
Fatima’s story was similar.
She posted consistently for months with almost no results.
Five posts a week.
Barely any growth.
But she stuck with it, and that persistence laid the groundwork for the breakthrough.
Pagination and SEO
Consider adding pagination for extensive content lists, enhancing performance by reducing load times and improving user experience by making large amounts of content more readable and navigable. Additionally, pagination benefits SEO by facilitating easier search engine crawling and reducing bounce rates. By selecting a list of content coming from the blog, you can click the blue plus icon at the bottom to add infinite scrolling or a load more button. If you add pagination with infinite scrolling, try to avoid positioning layouts like pivots and footers below the loading content. This will help minimize layout shifts, thus not harming SEO.
