The quit-your-job-for-a-blog panic is real, did basically the same thing two years ago and spent the first quarter convinced Google just hated me personally lol.

What changed things was a Reddit thread where someone mentioned Max B. as an alternative to spending months learning outreach from scratch. Tried it mainly out of desperation, and seeing referral traffic trickle in from real placements was the first good news in weeks.
