Concerning Blogging
Back a few years ago, when I was going through a divorce, I had a blog. Yes, I jumped on the proverbial bandwagon and it was cool. I had about 300 followers and everything was working well. The articles were of the lifestyle variety, you know the type, top 10 reasons my life sucks more now than before, a review of the best mental wards for depression, just a flow of consciousness pieces. Fast forward to last year, when I discovered a couple of blogs I had set up and forgotten. They were on the blogger platform including this blog and there was some traffic. Nothing spectacular but some page views on a few articles someone found interesting enough to click on. Now I combined the blogs for this blog and now I find that getting followers is much more difficult. In my mind, blogging is a great past time but making money, the kind of money everyone talks about. Like leave your 6 figure salary job for the easy life of a blogger just doesn't exist ...
