Good information. Just because you have a blog doesn't mean will care. I agree with that fully. Remember if you put it in writing you must be respectful of others. Don't say anything you wouldn't say to someones face.

It can be fun and can be a means of making extra money, or just for fun.

Persistence does pay off but I think you should also consider other methods of traffic generation like regular commenting on your niche blogs, guest posting and social media.

Whatever you do, don't give up. All that great content will have its own tribe someday. You have to believe that.

If I'm lucky enough to come up with a good post, I get maybe 20 views on a good day and one or two comments, but I'm learning to be pleased with small steps.

People starting a blog should totally go for it but be prepared for a lot of work and time before the crowds are queuing up for your next bit of wisdom.

Thanks for the post!

I am one of those who thought that blogging would be easy. I fell on my face. I soon realised that A successful blog takes hard work

I suppose you can say what ever you want. It's your blog. But will that offend people, would it encourage or discourage people in the question. If you keep saying what ever you want, you might just end up with a blog that never gets read. Unless people like what you say.

I find it so difficult to get people to read. yes you can publish great content. But you still have to work at getting people to read your content.

Great post, I enjoyed it very much.
