Is My Blog Worth It?

I’ve had a blog since 2009 and over the years, I’ve blog about several different topics. I started off on one platform then moved over to where I am now and I feel like no matter what I write about isn’t worth the effort. I feel like I’m talking into the wind.

People aren’t engaging, leaving comments or suggested new topics for me to talk about. I know I should be writing for me, but out of all the years I’ve been blogging, I feel like I should have left some sort of impact.

To be honest, my blog hasn’t made a single cent. Over 15 years old having a blog, I don’t gain enough traffic to earn an income. It never has been about the money, but I thought it would be nice to earn a little bit of extra income, but since nobody seems to be interested, I lose the motivation to write.

I go through phases where I’m really into researching and writing about certain topics, but then I lose momentum because I’m not seeing the results. My blog doesn’t get views. I’ve tried writing books, but I convinced myself that it’s never going to get published so I quit writing or if I do get published, will people actually want to read it.

When I started my blog in 2009, I had a goal in mind. Write what was on my mind and hope that it lands in hands of my dream team, a group of musicians and actors who’ve I’ve respected and admired for years. That is still my mission, but at the end of the day, how long will it take my blog to even been seen by one person on my dream team. Am I writing for them or am I writing for myself?

I go back and forth on if I want to stop blogging and call it quits. Writing is something I’ve always been good at, and I thought I would be a living of it, but out of everything I’ve wrote, nothing happens. People aren’t reading and interacting. People don’t say anything.

By this point, I’m starting to think that having a blog isn’t worth the time anymore. Maybe writing in general, as much as I would love to tell people my stories, isn’t what I was supposed to do. I’ve tried so hard to create something with my writing, but I’m discouraged because I know I’m not going to get the love and support from people.

Should I walk away from writing? Am I going to be able to write for a living when I don’t have anybody to write for? I feel like I’m not good enough to be a successful writer.
