A lot of bloggers will tell you that there just isn’t enough time in the day to do the things they want with their blogs. It’s even worse if you’re like me and you have lots of other little side projects on the go too. Lately, with this blog, I seem to be heading backwards rather than forwards. The biggest goal for me with Funk13 was to achieve a page rank, last week after 3+ months of blogging I finally struck gold and received a nice PR3. I’m guessing that achieving this would spur a lot of bloggers on? With me however, it hasn’t really changed anything. I’m still not really interested in Monetizing this blog, I’m still not really worried about the drop in traffic, and I’ve noticed that I’m not really interacting enough with the people who still do visit this blog.
Sorting out the problems
Over the weekend I had a little think about what I wanted to do in regards to blogging and making money online. I know that making money through blogging is extremely difficult and this blog will probably never make me anything. So I thought to myself, why don’t I just ditch this blog and sell the domain name for $30 somewhere. This would then free up the time to concentrate on projects such as my CMS Gallery. But then I realized how much I liked blogging and quitting this place would have made all of the advice I’ve given pointless. I now know why this place is in reverse, it’s because I’m absolutely useless when comes to time management, I waste far to many precious minutes messing around with pointless projects, writing endless draft posts that never get published and I’m not putting my own advice in to practice.
Back On Track
Last week I wrote this post about different types of bloggers. It took me about 10 minutes to write and in my opinion it wasn’t anything special. The strange thing was, other people thought it was great and it brought me in about and extra 300 unique visits. That post was basically me rambling on, it was my thoughts on a subject and not some pointless information on how to blog etc. From the feedback I got in comments and emails, this is what people like reading, so from now on I’m going to switching the way I blog. Rather than sounding like some kind of human tutorial, I’m just going to be plain old me. This is going to cut down the amount of time I spend writing posts and will give me lots more time to work on the traffic situation. I’m not turning this place into a personal blog, ohhh no! But I’m going to give a more personal view of make money online and blogging. It might work, it might fail. But who cares? I’m having fun.
