Millions of Bloggers, Only Hundreds of Readers... Maybe Less

When was the first time you got interested in blogging? A week ago? A month ago?  Two years ago? Maybe more. It seems that blogging has become an alternative for people to do hobby or just to have fun. Of course, there're some people consider it as a part time or even a full time job. It doesn't matter. Maybe the same thing like singing or painting. Some people make them simply as hobbies, while others make them as serious jobs. 

I began writing since many years ago, in 1992. There was no blogging platform back then so that I sent my works to paper-based media. I started to write blog since last year in 2023. At first, I tried to login in many platforms but didn't succeed. Then I tried Kompasiana and it seems easier to login. I never consider myself as an active blogger. I just write whenever I want. It means nobody force me to write. 

In Kompasiana, I found there were already many bloggers registered. It's nice because there're many topics I can read. In the same time, it's rather confusing too. Sometime I wonder how can our blog attract people to read in such tight competition. Moreover, I also wonder whether people care about our blog or not. I might be wrong, but it seems people like blogging more than reading. I don't know whether it's normal or not. For me, I just try to keep on blogging even though there're only few people reading it. I don't have any spesific target in blogging, anyway. Besides, I'm not eager to be famous either... haha.  

Lastly, everyone certainly can be any type of blogger they want. If you're a type of active and serious blogger... it's good. Just don't expect anybody to be like you. Some bloggers might look passive or not productive, but it doesn't mean they're lazy. People are different and have many other activities to do in life, not just blogging. 

I think that would be all, guys. By the way, I have 2 profiles in Kompasiana... one login through PC, the other through cellphone. This one is from cellphone. The other one from PC has more articles in it. Well... that's all. Just keep on blogging, although maybe only few people like to read our blog. Our blogs might be forgotten in history, but at least we do something good.
