The problem with blogging in 2018 is that it can be difficult to actually draw readers to your blog unless you retain your Facebook and other social media accounts so that you can advertise your content there. The sheer amount of content out there means that even with SEO tweaks people might not find you through Google, you are simply lost in the noise. Even if people find you once through a search engine, the decline of RSS means that they are unlikely to subscribe to you and see what you write in future. I blog myself on a niche-interest topic, and I pride myself in writing substantial, specific and useful information. Unfortunately, my blog doesn’t get read by many people. And then you see lots of successful content farms out there, whose posts are actually devoid of content, but their empty posts are just packaged neatly to serve as clickbait and get advertising revenue. It is awfully dispiriting.
