To Blog or not to Blog?

To Blog or not to Blog?

To blog or not to blog, that is the question? Why? Because I am curious how many bloggers, especially the first time up bloggers, keep on blogging? So I did a little research (mostly Google). This is what it told me. In 2018 there were 505 million blogs. I want to know who counted them? As far as bloggers, in 2015, estimated 28.3 bloggers updated a blog at least once a month. I am sure I am in that count as I have a couple of blogs I haven't looked at in ages.

This brings up my main point that I wanted to get to and that is how many of you here, have started blogs but fail to get to them? I am not picking on anyone as I am guilty. I have started my second blog, here, and so far I am good posting each day since I started. I must mention that is only March 2, so that is not saying much.

Why is it that we can write other great things but when it comes to the daily blog, it is a challenge for many of us. We can't be lacking words, can we? Research says 2 million blogs are created each day, WOW. What do these folks have to talk about?

I started a blog years ago with the idea I was going to make money. You as well, maybe? So, I asked research, how many bloggers make money? Research says

2%" spend less than 2 hours a day blogging but make more than $150K (Tim Ferriss types). Another survey, this one of 1,500
ProBlogger readers who said they're trying to make money by blogging, found that 9% make between $1,000 and $10,000 a month
and 4% make over $10,000 a month."

So, any volunteers on how much you make as a blogger? Just the facts folks, just the facts.
