So, when I started blogging for dollars in March, I had a couple blogs and would get 300-500 page views a month. Underwhelming. But, not hopeless. At least SOME people were reading some of what I wrote, right?
But, I wasn't making much money. I hadn't fully committed to monetizing.
And then, I did. I started this blog to log my experiences. I focused on using social media to get my content out. I visited other blogs to see what was working -- and also, to make comments which helped me get more readers. Twitter is a big help - -but you can't just tweet the content, you have to engage people.
Soon, I was up to 1000 page views a month. And, I was making a small amount of money. Not much at all, really. But some money every month.
Now, I make some money every day. Nope, not a lot yet. But some. And, in the last two months, I'm up to 2000 page views a month. That's 4 times what I had in March. I get regular views and regular clicks. I have sites with followers.
In just 5 months, I've made a big leap. If I can keep it up, I could be at 10,000 page views a month by the Holidays. Even then, I won't be making "big money." But, if the trends hold, I'll be making money blogging and it will be a nice supplement.
I'm going to keep it up. Keep blogging. Because the way to get more page views is to generate good, solid content. And to do it often.
