Thanks a lot! Thanks again for your kind words

@ itauditsecurity

If there’s one thing that I am, it’s honest in my writing. It’s probably going to get me sued one day. lol.

I’m not really in it for the money yet either. I don’t make enough on my ad impressions to worry about profit yet. However, I DO use my earnings as a barometer for how successful my current strategies are working.

One thing I’ve learned though is that you shouldn’t be too concerned about your comments. Just because people don’t comment doesn’t mean that they don’t like the articles. I’ve noticed people retweeting my articles without commenting before, and other people want to talk to me about what I write, and these are people that never leave comments. Just try to accept the satisfaction of knowing you wrote a good post. Thanks for coming by!

@ Sire

Like I said before, you keep me on my toes, brother. I don’t always agree with what you write, but I like how thoughtful discussion follows you wherever you go!

I love writing and enjoy blogging. I’m not in it for the money yet, although I need to move in that direction. It does suck up my free time and I find I write more than I read. I miss reading all the good stuff out there, and glad I found your blog.

It’s hard when you pour yourself into a post and no one cares. I’m on my second blog already and it’s hard getting your readership back after abandoning the first one. I’m still waiting for my first comment, so I hear ya.

Keep pounding.

Thanks for your kind words. I was never actually going to quit blogging, I was hoping that people who were considering starting it would read my post and realize that it’s not all fun and games.

@ Sire

Thank you. In a way, your comment here has partially inspired me to write my next article, which I am very proud of, btw. There is an awful lot of to be experienced in the blogging world, and I think we, as bloggers, should do more to share this joy with others. Thanks for commenting!

@ Mitch

I do believe in the law of attraction, and I also believe that it won’t always manifest the way that you want. That’s why the people who are usually most unhappy with their life and career are the ones who had a preconceived idea of what they wanted, and couldn’t roll with the punches. That was pretty much the point of this article, blogging isn’t going to be exactly what you expect, and it does take discipline and hard work to make it happen. Thanks for commenting!

@ Jannie

You’re right. If it were as easy as some people make it sound, everyone would be doing it. And while it does seem sometimes like everyone does it, (lol) very few people do it properly. And on a timeline, you have a sharp drop in number of bloggers versus months doing it. I’m not sure when the drop levels off, but I think it’s somewhere around the 8 month to a year mark. A lot of people decide around that time period that it’s not fun anymore, and quit. Well, that won’t be me. Thanks for the kind words and the comment!

@ The Gooroo

Thanks for the encouragement. I also have a lot of respect for what you do. Like I said, my main point with this article was to discourage the people who think that blogging is easy, it wasn’t a cry for help or anything. I do appreciate the kind words though.

Blogging ebbs and flows, as life does.

If you want to get more serious about it, I strongly suggest reading ProBlogger for constant tips and tricks, spanning every possibly blogging facet you could imagine.

If it were easy everybody would do it and do it well. But NEVER GIVE UP on what you really want, NEVER GIVE UP, Trey!
