Hit 50 blog posts in a row without missing a week

I set a goal back in January to publish one post every week, no excuses. Yesterday marked 50 straight weeks, which surprised me because I usually lose steam around post 20. Most of my traffic came from three posts about repurposing old content for social media. Has anyone else found that consistency pays off more than one viral hit?

Oh wow, 50 weeks is seriously impressive! I've tried that kind of consistency and always crash around week 12 or so... what did you do differently this time that actually made it stick? Was it a specific routine or just pure stubbornness? I'm curious about those repurposing posts too. Did you find that having that steady stream of content made it easier to get traffic, or did people just start expecting your stuff every week? Like, did you see a tipping point where the regular posting started paying off in a big way? And honestly, what kept you going when you hit that slump around week 20? I always bail right there because I feel like my ideas run dry.

@sandra_anderson2 I batch 10 posts at once when I'm feeling it, so week 20 slump just means pulling from the stash.
