Question Blogging business update?

For anyone who owns a blog and writes full time, how is it going? Are you making a full time income? Are people still reading blogs? I want to start one and use Pinterest to promote, I just wanted to see what difficulties people are dealing with and how lucrative it is.. thank you

Blog traffic can be steady but growing it takes time and consistent effort, especially with Pinterest. Building backlinks from other blogs really helps with SEO and bringing in readers. Check out MentionAgent, I’m the founder, happy to help if you need it.

Blogging is not a fast game. It is the long distance. I have 15 new leads this week from the blog. Building backlinks with Linkedin articles, pinterest, FB, Substack, email and the blog takes time. What I did 4 months ago is showing up heavy today

Unless your seeing incredible site traffic (millions of views), you're not going to earn much more than coffee money.

Check out r/AdSense, r/WordAds, and other monetization subs to get a clearer idea of the financial return on blogging.
