    Default EoFF Let's Blog

    I thought about putting this in TMHQ, but thought it might get more of response in GC.

    Shorty has convinced me/is trying to convince me to pick my blog up again. She has a blog! Auly wants to blog! Shion has a blog!

    Do you have a blog? Would you be interested in starting one? Would you read other EoFFers' blogs?

    I tried to blog when I was boring and unemployed. I got through about three and then stopped. I guess now that I'm boring and employed, I have even less to blog about! :3

    I have mentioned this before but I used to run a World of Warcraft blog that wound up with like 1200 subscribers and over one thousand unique daily hits, and snagged me all sorts of interviews with big websites and podcasts and stuff. It was pretty neat. I miss doing it sometimes but you can't write a World of Warcraft blog when you're not playing of World of Warcraft, unfortunately.

    Mister Adequate and I have been co-writing a video game blog for the last... three and a half years or so. We were really good about it for the first couple of years but these days we're much busier with our freelance writing stuff so it doesn't get updated quite as often. Still, anyone who is interested (aka no one) can go give it a gander: http://www.theandroidscloset.com/

    It doesn't get a fraction of the hits my WoW blog did but that's okay

    I started a blog for my reviews back in November of 2011. Went on a hiatus April 2012 because I was busy with my RP at the time and started up again July of last year. It's now my primary source of income.

    I was teasing you, Pike! I am very happy for your success and you are an excellent writer, so it's good you get so much recognition for it

    Never underestimate WoW's popularity.

    I have 4,824 views overall by country ranging from the US, Ukraine, Germany, Russia, the UK, Canada, France, China, Malaysia, Sweden, and I made 22 bucks since signing up with Google AdSense. Funny thing is I only started getting comments recently so I don't know how many of those views are from real people. You can read me on your mobiles, too. 5/5 on site health and I didn't even do anything.

    I never did do ads with my blog. I had all sorts of offers when I had that WoW thing and I turned them all down. It was possibly a dumb move, and capitalists everywhere will laugh at me, but something about it bothered me. Most people run Adblock, anyway.

    My biggest regret is quitting before hitting 1,000,000 overall views, I think I had like 900,000

    I have the most views from The US, Poland (thanks Fynn), Australia (thanks Mae) and Germany. I have no idea who I know from Germany. But I have had a few people I don't know send me random messages about my blog, so that's nice!

    I did have to remove my own views from the view count, because I look at my blog to check my 365 list and I want to see how many views I have that aren't my own.

    I'd read other peoples blogs but I don't really have an interest in writing one myself! Everybody should share their links

    Yeah, most of the money I've made have been from friends clicking on the ads before they close out.

    <3 my friends.
