1.Usually it took me somewhere between 3-6mo for traffic to start hitting the page.
2.SEO was No.1 and Quality of content.
I monitized blog by selling links and spots on side bar. Adsense a bit but did not make as much as selling spots on sidebar. Tbh I hated ads so stuck to only 2 sidebar spots kind of like DEV, I used that money to pay off servers and my workers.
It is very niche related where before you had more categories of blogs like “food”,”tech” etc.. also blogging these days is very fake. Before you could read articles longer than 1000 words now barely anyone makes it to 500 words and call it “post” , most I hate is where they reference twitter cards and that’s about it with bloated ads of all kinds. Also I started to stop visiting sites with Auto play videos and half way article ads..
I think so. I used to be really bad at writing like suck at it in English ( I write and speak 5 diff. languages). Also it’s something you look into 5y or 10y later and saw wow? I wrote that? Lol!

I appreciate your answers. They'll help in the building of my own brand/blog/presence.
I've been looking at self-hosted analytics (like Matomo), since Cloudflare's is good but not good enough (unless you pay).
Re: 500 word "posts"... lol, I hear you.
Re: SEO... I'll have to start digging. I always see that it's important for webdesign but I know very little about it.
Re: Writing... I've been personal writing for some time (only English), so I definitely know that feeling.
Thank you!
If you want organic traffic from non social signals SEO should be one of the biggest concerns at all times.
Heard that.
A new journey begins.
