It can get 100 daily views

100 views is a lot.

When starting a blog, there most likely will not be much views, but after you’ve wrote it for some years, you definitely can get 100 daily views.

But the problem with 100 daily views is that it’s too little to make some money from your blog.

100 daily views isn’t a dead blog, but it’s also not profitable.

If you can spare 5€ per month for your creative outlet then blogging makes sense.

600 millions blogs, YouTube and all those platforms are competing for the same eyeballs. Which makes blogging harder, if you want any financial results.

If you can blog without financial gains, then it’s definitely worth it.

YouTube sucks

Back in the day when there was no promote button, you could actually get views on YouTube, but now when the promote button was introduced, you really can’t get any views on YouTube.

For free there are no views, for money they find you views.

Videos on YouTube are artificially supressed.

Mistakes I made during my blogging journey

When I first started blogging, I blogged on blogger.com in Lithuanian, you can read a backup of that blog here. I thought 4 million people should be enough for a blog to get some views but that wasn’t true.

Then I drifted to video, and made 40000 videos.

With this experience that I have now, I should have started this blog years ago (17 years ago to be somewhat exact).

I never should have created videos, but at that time that was fun.

So after having this experience I could say for aspiring bloggers: start a blog while you’re a young, don’t drift to video because that’s just too much exposure, even if you start with either video or blog: don’t reset your progress. This happened so many times to me, I was chasing the dream but now I’m settled with this blog.

Instead of doing things that get more views, do things you actually enjoy. If it’s a blog, then blog, because neither video or blog will pay you. Unless other people are really interested in what you do. But most people will be indifferent.
