Man is a funny being. We always crave things that come in the future rather than live in the present.
Great, but this can lead to stress and maybe a burnout later.
Take, for instance, we want to go to Tirupati. We are on pins and needles till we get train reservations, then we wait for the day of travel, then for the taxi to arrive, the taxi to reach the railway station, and once we are at the station we are anxious if the RAC ticket will get confirmed or not, if the RAC is confirmed, if we would get a lower berth, if it is confirmed, anxious when the train would start, and so and and so forth.
Similarly, my blogging journey started humbly in 2010.
The thrill of setting it up was over, and then the wait for the first post, the first reader, the first 100 readers, the first comment, and the 10,000 reader mark, the 50,000 readers mark.
In 2014, 2015, and 2016, when The Hans India was publishing my feature regularly for 156 weeks, interest in blogging took a back seat.
Once The Hans India discounted my feature my interest in blogging picked up again.
There were days when I would be thrilled to get 50 readers a day. For many years, I would got used to 300 readers per day.
But from the last year, there has been renewed interest in reading blogs, and readership has started to climb, and in the last few months, I am getting 400 to 500 readers per day.
But things have changed dramatically in the last one or two months.
Nowadays I have started to get 1000, 1500, and for the last 3 or 5 days I am even crossing 2000 readers/day.
I am in no way overreaching myself. I am staying committed and humble and will try my best to share whatever little I know about marketing and business.
