I think it’s awesome watching the progression of your blog after certain periods of time. I really started to keep track of my progression as a blogger just recently and I must say that I’ve advanced a lot.
I’m still not hitting the numbers that I want or need, but rest assured, that I’m expecting a lot more within the next few months.
With that being said, let’s talk about my stats as a Christian blogger one year after I started.
How I started out (1-3 months in the game)
When I first started out, I was more interested in becoming a good writer than I was making a lot of money. I was actually trying to get myself back into college and I said to myself, that if I could work hard at a blog for a few months and get some results, then I can complete college. Sure enough, I wrote in that blog almost every day for about 7 months straight and I went back into college and I finished the semester taking two classes and completing both of them with B’s.
I was so excited!
But anyways back to the blog.
I wasn’t interested in having a large following and making a lot of money, even though that was on my mind. I was more interested in getting better at writing, and serving God.
I still am highly interested in serving God, as a matter of fact it’s my number one reason for writing in this blog today, but now that this blog is growing, I am kind of interested in seeing what the possibilities are for monetization.
When I first started, I actually was getting a lot of views. Not a lot a lot, but I remember I had started mid- January of last year and by early February of last year, I had already had a day where I got 10 views to my site on a single day.
Yeah I was actually really impressed with myself for doing so. My first month of January I had actually had around 20 some views. February saw a decline in the amount of views that I got, and so did march. I remember back in march of last year I had 3 views that entire month. I said to myself during those days that I’m failing.
I remember I kept reading that there were people who were getting their blogs to explode with traffic within 3 months and I wasn’t doing that.
However, I said to myself, “Get realistic, I’m not a good writer yet and this is going to take time.”
Mid way around 6 months after I started
Around 6 months after I started, I actually got 126 views to my site. I remember that month because I said to myself that I had made it.
Most of the views actually came from a single person.
I remember that day because on my phone, I had set up a bell to ring whenever I got a like on my site. Sure enough it was ringing nonstop for about half an hour.
It rang and I pleaded to God that it would not stop ringing. It eventually did stop though.
I remember I think that I got 26 views that day. That was the best day that I had ever had.
And then something bad happened
7 months in (when I was going through some bad things)
7 months in, I was going through some rough times. I remember those days because my parents kicked me out. They eventually brought me back in but things were never the same.
I was writing still but I took a break for about 4 months. Yeah it was tough, but I persisted. Which leads us to today the present
Today (1 – 1 and a half years after I started)
Right now, this blog has been going strong for one and a half years. It’s been hard, but we’ve managed to keep going.
Right now, for the past few months, I’ve been getting hundreds of views per month to this blog. Its great because now I’m starting to reap the benefits of actually working on this blog.
February, March, and April were all great months. I got 126, 192, 131 views respectively.
Now this month, yesterday I had 8 views to my site with an average of 4.5 views to my site this month so far.
I don’t think I’m going to stop now though, I think it’s just a part of me now.
I don’t care what happens in the future, I want God to be at the forefront of my blog. I want God’s message to be the epicenter of all that I do. Therefore, I would like all of you to pray for me. Pray that God’s message is always here. Pray that I may always listen to God when it comes to working for him. And I will always do my best to do what is right.
What I’m trying to say is
Keep working hard at your blogs. One day, you will reap the benefits of what you’ve sowed.
