I remember when I started it in February 2011 I got a handful of readers. My purpose of creating my own blog is to publicize my newspaper column for my friends who haven't got read it. So at least in the Net, the could read it anytime and anywhere. I just continued posting articles. Sooner or later, I had an invitation to join in the FB group. Then, my blog has started to grow. Not it has nearly 900,000 pageviews. Luckily in its first year of Net circulation, my two blogs received the best lifestyle award and the best culture and arts award.Gil Camporazohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15306950475187476489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2337762849698854350.post-27631152563825662016-11-21T08:26:21.658+08:002016-11-21T08:26:21.658+08:00What great lessons!

But let me tell you, things change and a lot of new things will still be coming by and as bloggers, we need to brace ourselves for a hard learning as well as the things that we can learn not only to blogging but also to life as we read other people's blog.

It's so true what you say about the thrill of getting a comment from a stranger (the highs) but then it's miserable when you put so much effort in and get so few visits (the lows).

There is research and planning involved. <br /><br />And so true that your friends and even family does not support you or take you seriously. Once I asked my friend to share a post and she told me that she thinks my work needs to improve. Like hellooo you keep posting random sh*tty stuff from all over the world. Senseless memes and what not but something that is so dear to me is not upto your expectation.
