I am totally mystified by the process of blogging. Can some of you people help me out ?
Why on earth do the majority of people blog ?
Obviously, in most cases it's because they want to get as many people as possible to read what they write.
But most blogs seem to get few readers.
My blog has about 160 posts over a couple of years and most of the posts have reasonable 'value' and are worth reading - many are very interesting stories written by professional writers from daily newspapers.
But, despite about 72 000 hits it looks as the the blog is simply checked out by about 20 hits a day - probably all the same people.
I'm beginning to feel a bit weary as it would seem that even if the content value is good, getting readers by the word of mouth method is a no no.
Does anyone have any thoughts on all this that might help me ?
