I was really busy the last two weeks. So busy that I haven’t had a chance to write at least one post for my blog. Although it takes about 30-40 minutes to write a post I still couldn’t afford it. Although by looking at my stats I realized that nobody really cares besides me.
As you can see I got only 62 visits. The max was 13 visitors per day. 3 RSS subscribers. Nothing to be proud of for 3 months old blog. And I’m not surprised that I have such a low usage. I exactly know the reasons why:
- I tried to post once a week and I haven’t blogged for two weeks now. Should post at least 2 times a week
- I haven’t picked one particular subject to blog about. I blog about different kind of things ranging from running online store to productivity tips. I.e. I haven’t defined my niche
- My posts are too long. I should learn how to write shorter posts but more frequently
- I don’t do any promotion of my blog at all. I very rarely comment on ProBlogger, ShoeMoney and John Chow blogs and I have my Twitter and Facebook profiles linked to my blog. That’s all that I’ve done to promote my blog
- I don’t network with other bloggers
You may be wondering why the hell I need to run a blog like this. This blog is the beginning of developing my personal brand. I try to make it useful for the beginners like me so they don’t repeat my mistakes and see what really works. I’m not pretending to be a guru and bullshitting people with content aimed to sell affiliate offers. I don’t even have any advertisement yet…
Hold on, look like I’ve just defined my target audience! LOL

We all tend to go through this I think – it seems like no one in the world misses you if you don’t post. But once you start making personal contact, posting regularly, offering value to others (like the subject of this post), leaving comments & joining forums you’ll be surprised.
Some people do this in a matter of months, others like me take years – LOL because I tend to be a lazy blogger
This is great you’re documenting your journey to help others!
Thanks for the comment! People like you encourage young bloggers (like me) to continue blogging no matter what
awesome one! I feel like I know you for years
Well you can’t put ads in the beginning of a blog but the thing is that you’re aiming at relationships and not some cents. Keep up the good work, you’ve got one more subscriber!
