The first post on this blog was in November 2010. I just hit 20,000 views today, 9 years later.
Here's the mistake I made. I had built up a small audience over 5 years, and then I didn't blog for 3 years: 2016, 2017 and 2018. It cost me. Had I stuck to my knitting, kept working in a steady manner, I would have had that audience ready to sell to. My online school at teachable, my drop ship store, my email list, my BitChute channel, my minds.com channel, my youtube channel - they all could have been part of my ready online blog orbit. I was getting between 25 and 200 views per post. Then I stopped. Now I get between 3 and 12 per post as I am slowly building up the blog. I had the audience and then I let it go.
Now I have to build again.
The only reason I'm able to go back to blogging / writing is that I enjoy it. Facebook has become terrible, I have been permanently suspended from Twitter, and that leaves blogger. When #socialgalactic gets started, I'll join it and go full force, but thats's just hope.
Stick to your knitting. Stay with it. Don't do what I did. Lesson learned.
