I’m beginning to realize how a lack of update can influence readership drastically. It probably makes sense since I would stop visiting a site if it doesn’t update for some time, and after a while, I would slowly forget about the existence of the site. That’s probably why brands like Pepsi Cola continue spending millions on advertising despite how well-known they already are. It’s like I don’t think about wanting to drink Kikapoo or Jolly Shandy because I don’t see or hear about them anymore. As for Anything and Whatever, that was just a multi-million dollar flop. It sounded like an 18-year-old’s ideas. The only difference was that this 18-year-old had a lot of money to spare.
To be honest, I’ve actually been writing more often than it seems. The problem is, I tend to write a number of stuff, save them in draft, come back to them and think they aren’t good enough (or not appropriate) and delete them. Before I know it, a month passes and I haven’t posted anything.
I could really just post an entry with a bunch of expletives if people like it.
Of course readership would drop if there’s no update after a period of waiting..
Non-commercialised bloggers are Not obliged to keep blogging and not surprising that a good number abandon or forgot that they have a blog after a while..
Readers won’t keep coming back for a blog that is no longer active.
Make sense, doesn’t it?
But I’m glad you are still at it. After all, I used your blog to (try to) convince a friend that working and staying in Japan on a long-term basis isn’t far-fetched if you work hard enough. You are a real-life example that I can quote to her.
