When Do You Stop Blogging?

VlogHog has been on the net for three years now.  Still, plugging along hoping to catch on with a billion viewers a day.  A lot has happened in that time. We changed presidents, Simon Cowell left American Idol, ER finally went off the air, and a lot of other stuff too.

How long will VlogHog be here? I don't know. Some days I get good traffic, some days I get no traffic.  The blog has over a thousand incoming links. Does Google care? Hell no. To this end,  I get almost no traffic from search engines.  However, I do get traffic from pictures I link to.  Go figure.

Some days I make dollars. Some days I make cents. Most days I make nothing.   According to Alexa, 23 million sites get more traffic than I do. But due to a recent traffic spike, that will change. But traffic spikes are just that. Spikes. They go up and they will go down.

Once a had a traffic spike of 9000 visitors in one day and next day I had only 100 visitors. They should call them traffic teases.

On the days of August 20 and 21, I had a traffic spikes of 24,000 and 40,000 visitors. The most ever.  But now things are back to normal. Meaning I won't be quitting my day job anytime soon.

So, the question is, "How long do you keep doing something you like even when there is no benefits of doing it?" That's a long question.  Let me shorten it, "When do you stop blogging?"

The answer to me is when you start hating it.  I don't mean ocassionally hating it. I mean hating it everyday. To date, I don't hate blogging. Really.  I still want to figure out how to make a living at doing this.  I still want to learn. I still want to grow. 

My gut can stop growing anytime now.

So, VlogHog will still be here.  Posting videos that make you laugh.  I hope.

I will post more videos and articles if you care to watch and read them.  I might even put up a bio on myself. 

Don't forget to tell your friends about this blog and keep your dreams alive.
