I've been blogging for a couple of decades at this point. Yes, it has definitely gotten harder to attract an audience.
It does depend on the sort of blog you're running, though. Information-heavy blogs addressing actual urgent needs still do OK if they're appropriately promoted. More opinion-focused blogs do much less well unless they're very unusual in some way.
(Sweeping statements, obviously.)
- vidyesh 10y agoThis is more or less correct now a days. People don't want to read opinions anymore, they like to read information unless they are looking for something specific. But if they are looking for something specific they want opinions and in that case their readership ends there. For example : If I want to know about how to setup a water sprinkler and make optimum use of my gardening equipment, I would look for sites which provide that information and stick with that site seeing it is providing me information on my gardening needs. But if I want to buy a water sprinkler I might just google for people who bought it or have reviewed it and once I am done buying I will forget about that site.
