Let’s talk about it…
So, I started my blog on June 25th. And let me tell you—I’ve been writing like my rent depends on it (because let’s be real… sometimes it might). I’m posting 3 to 5 times a day. That’s right, I’ve basically made Blogger my full-time job without the full-time check. I throw in a couple of days off here and there when I need a break or just want to watch some messy reality TV for “inspiration.”
Now here’s the kicker: I’m averaging about 20 views per day. Twenty. Two-zero. I know what you're thinking. "Is that good or bad?" And honestly… let’s break it down.
🧠 Is Blogging 3–5 Times a Day Too Much?
Not necessarily. If you have the energy, ideas, and passion—go for it! Posting often can help your content show up more in searches over time. But here’s the catch: just because you post more doesn’t mean Google automatically favors you anymore. That’s old-school thinking. Google is picky now. It wants quality, engagement, and SEO-savvy content—not just quantity.
📉 What’s Holding the Blog Back?
- Low Traffic? That’s normal when you're just starting. You’re still building your audience.
- Monetization? You made 92 cents? That’s iconic. That’s 92 cents more than you had before, okay? But don’t get too comfortable—we’re not quitting our day jobs just yet.
- Google Ads? It takes time to build up ad revenue. Google doesn’t cut checks just because you showed up.
🖼️ Using Pictures for Traffic: Smart or Nah?
YES. People love visuals. Thumbnails and photos do drive clicks. But here’s the tea: you need to make sure they’re optimized (file names, alt text, SEO captions) and relevant to the blog content. Also, post them on platforms like Pinterest with a link to your blog. That’s how you start stacking views.
💡 So… Is This Good or Bad?
It’s good that you’re consistent. It’s good that you’re experimenting. It’s bad if you stop now just because it’s not popping yet.
You started on June 25th—give yourself some grace. Most bloggers don’t even get one post out a week. You’ve already done the hardest part: you showed up.
🎯 Final Thought
You might not be rich from your blog yet (unless you count that 92 cents—which I do), but you're building something. Keep writing. Keep learning. Keep tweaking your strategy.
And if all else fails… just write a post called “Why I Only Made 92 Cents Blogging—And Why I’m Still Not Giving Up.” That’s real, funny, dramatic, and will definitely get clicks.
Question for You:
How often do you read a blog and actually click the ad? See? Now imagine trying to make money off that. 😂
