Props to you for posting every single day. I simply cannot do it – I love to write, but I don't have the energy to get something out there 7 days a week – so, that's to be commended, and like you, I know many others that have seen great success due to their focus and dedication.

Cheers!

The thing that struck me most about your blog post is the date. It is June 25th, 2010 and you originally posted in Sept 2009. I found this post, because you tweeted it. I haven't done much with posting archived stuff, even though there are some which I think are quite good. Great idea.

As for the other points, I have only been blogging since Jan 2, 2010, but have enjoyed it enough that I haven't struggled with some of the issues. It is now day 179, and I have written 178 consecutive posts. I just love it. I average around 900 words per day and do all my own photography. The desire to post daily has motivated me to turn off the TV, and get it done.

I don't really know how many readers is good. I get about 150 per day, and about 1000 page views, which makes me happy. I do promote my site, though Twitter and StumbleUpon. You are right, it does take work, but if one is working on something they enjoy, then is it really work?

I think I will go write a post…this stuff is fun.

Brian

Last night I spoke at a gathering of job seekers and it rejuvinated desire to stay with it. During my talk, I referenced a few of the topics I've covered at Career Jockey and can now refer them to the blog and specific posts for more information. It really helped my credibility. An additional reward is a bump in page views yesterday to twice the daily average.It definitely confirmed my content is relevant and inspires me to rock on. You really struck a nerve with your post.

That's the only way I've survived. After seeing the "dark side" of the publishing world that actually thinks more about the business side of things (what's up with that?) than if they liked the content of the book, it's only the passion for writing and having a message that I feel that needs to be out there, that keeps these fingers hitting the keys.
