From 100 To 10K: My Blogger Journey
Many blogs fail. And of those that do not, a majority receive modest traffic, less than 1,000 visitors a month. I launched this travel blog in March 2021, planning to succeed.
Curious about how it is going? Follow my blogger journey from launch to now as I share monthly performance data and regular updates. I cover what works and what does not. And share the information and learnings I find most valuable.
Initially, I wrote blog updates weekly—this was too frequent. So, I took a break and spent a few months writing, learning, and growing to restart sharing my blogger journey below.

Why share so much? I hope to help other newbie bloggers navigate how to make it work. And to learn exactly how long it takes to make a blog-as-a-business succeed.

Hi there Josie, I do show ads from Google Adsense (currently) on my site. Though I keep them sparse on some pages to ensure higher rankings on SERPs (search engine result pages) and to keep the experience clean for readers. Is see you have a website too. Have you found a different method/ad program has worked better for you?
Hi Janice,
Why aren’t you monetized with programmatic ads?
