Announcement - Please Read

Filed Under Announcement, Web Site 

I started 60 in 3 a few months ago as a way to share what I had learned about fitness and eating healthy.  I wanted it to be a place where I provided useful information to people struggling with the same problems I had a few years ago.  60 in 3 was never supposed to be a business or a place for me to make money.  It was supposed to be fun, not a job.

Unfortunately, I think I’ve succumbed to the temptation of having a large profitable blog at the expense of time and quality.  I spend quite a bit of time marketing the site, working with search engine optimization and coming up with content that will appeal to search queries.  This is something I never had in mind when I started this side and it’s a direction I’ve decided I don’t really want to go down.

So I’m going to be moving 60 in 3 back to a personal blog about fitness rather than a commercial one.  That means a few things will change:

  • Posting schedule will move from every weekday to every Monday, Wednesday and Friday plus a weekend post.  I feel like I was trying too hard to come up with content at the expense of quality.  I think this will let me focus on good helpful information again.
  • Some ads will disappear.  Not all of them unfortunately since the site still costs a bit of money to maintain, but a few will.
  • I’ll be marketing the site a lot less.  If people find it and like it, that’s great and I hope they become regular readers.

I hope you all will bear with me through these changes and continue to find 60 in 3 a useful site for your fitness and health needs.

Regards,

Gal

    Hi,

    Thanks for this. Actually I was thinking to unsubscribe to the high volume of post and less I was finding interesting. Now you will stay in my RSS feed.
