In my experience, the stage my blog is currently in is the hardest for me as an aspiring blogger. After the initial spurt of excitement about Environment Philippines, my friends have stopped visiting my site. I've had zero readers for almost the whole week.
I tried broadcasting my posts in Facebook. Some of my friends clicked the like button on my post, but none of the actually visited it. I've also tried joining other blog networks such as The Blog Farm and Blog Catalog. So far, these haven't brought me any additional readers.
I also just got accepted by Technorati and Entrecard. Hopefully, these new will be able to get me the readers I need to jump-start my blog. Hopefully, it might lead to a loyal readership as well. It's disheartening to write one or more blog posts each day with the fear that not a single person will read what I have to say.
In other news, I just made a huge discovery. I forgot to change my url in Top Blogs Philippines from the one with the ".blogspot" to the one without it. Perhaps that's why it seems nobody has been reading my blog. According to Nuffnang, I have over 136 views this week. That's kind of a lot..
Now, I have to find a way to get my visitors to comment on my posts.
