Making Money Blogging

     Being ten months into blogging am am still learning. As one should learn something every day. My goal wasn't thinking that this was going to be a large money making endeavor but one none the less. It seems that my thoughts of $10 a day are grandiose.
     I have written over one hundred posts. Have had over 3500 hits. I have some nice ads. I have readership all over the world. Still to only have made $6. Guess I won't be quitting my day job soon. Darn! I am disappointed to say the least. As I have put forth quit a bit of time and effort into the project. But the fact is making money blogging is about like hitting the lottery.
     Thirty five hundred views is about 350 per month or ten per day. You need thirty five hundred hits per day. You have to build a following that reads your work every day. So the content must be valuable enough for someone to want to read it. Guess I am flunking out here.
     I have always had some pretty good ads. I do not know what kind of ads show up abroad but I can only guess they are relevant to the locality. The thing is here you can have some really cool ads but if no one opens them up you get nothing. Case closed. Many people don't open the ads for fear of being badgered later.
     You have to stimulate comments. I had google plus comments for a while but I cannot retrieve them. Rendering them useless to me. Just part of their (Google's) system. I have touched on quite a few subjects and cannot believe that one of them hasn't caused an opinion from someone. So with no displayed comments, left comments or my ability to respond to comments has to be a disadvantage. It also doesn't stimulate any action between the readers. So the posts just sit there.
     Perhaps my posts are only stumbled upon by people browsing the inter net. They pop onto the site. Look at it briefly and move on as it it worthless to them.
