If there's one think I'm constantly telling my readers it's that blogging isn't going to happen overnight, you need to have lots of patience. Perhaps I'll write about that next week. :wink: I absolutely agree Kevin & Dave, it took over a year for Freelance Writing Jobs to take off and another year or so for decent revenue to flow.

I have to agree with Dave Starr though. A lot of bloggers expect their blogs to be popular very quickly. There are some blogs who get a lot of subscribers quickly but for most blogs it will take a year or more to get to 1000 subscribers.

But, as with many "what should I do" questions, there is no where near enough information upon which to base good advice. There are alot of people in this world who do not have 30 ir 40 people who "listen" to them in a week, let alone daily. 40 people may not be many when one's goal is to be a direct contemporary of John Chow or Darren Rowse ... but is that the writer's goal? 40 people a day is a significant number if, indeed, s/he "loves blogging" as the original question stated. One thing to remeber as well ... 6 months seems along time to some, but it's not a long time for a blog to build. If you read Darren, John and another of popular bloggers they blogged much longer than 6 months before any significant traffic increaes came along. In my view the question is not, What do I do today with 40 readers? It really matters not if it took 6 months or 6 days to get to that level, The question should be, where do I want to be in 6 more months? An honest assessment will give some real clues as to what to do from this day forward. I realize the original question was heartfelt, and I have a lot of empathy for the blogger who asked it.

Like Mike said, it is very time consuming and therefore it has to be done with happiness rather than an awkward feeling about it. Hope your reader will find a solution to her question.

It took a huge surge of traffic, which came with adding the Blogush widget to the mainpage and is actually sticking, to give me the kick in the rump to keep plugging away.

Everyday it's a "gut-check" as to how much you want to put into it.
