I’d be interested to read the full article. Maybe they’re referring to COMMERCIAL blogging – which I have never really considered as legitimate. Maybe it is, but the more personal blogging – like what many of us do – cannot be relegated and disregarded. If you regularly post on your blog, that’s blogging – regardless of follower count. I’d rather have 5 sincere, engaged followers than 1000 bots or disinterested people who give nothing substantial back to me as a writer.
Yeah, I suppose it’s referring to commercial blogging. Blogging to me is a leisure. If we try to make it commercially viable is when it becomes stressful. Like you, engaging blog matters more than anything. Here it is! — https://www.irevuo.net/most-blogs-fail-why/
I totally get you. I don’t get that eaither. My blog is a my journal. I write my thoughts on art of course. I love painting. I say just write and have fun. Your blog can be successful without the 1000. I know numbers matter but write from the heart and that will radiate and spark curiosity. Ok I need to tell myself this all the time too!
I’m just like you, writing for leisure. You’re right, writing should be fun. Sometimes, others numbers are intimidating and make me paranoid.
