1) Your views of enlightenment are completely skewed. Not that I expected anything else, but I figured I’d throw that in there.

2) Have you ever really thought about the direction that you’re trying to go with this blog? Have you ever considered what value you’re creating for other people?

If your goal is to have a lot of traffic, money, etc, then you have to give people a reason to visit your site. You have to provide them with something that they want, for one reason or another.

Your blog is already limited to the 10% of the people on the planet who have the capacity for independent though. Such is the nature of your focus. Topics like this don’t appeal to the masses.

However, my bigger complaint is that you’re not providing anything that I would want anyway. And my personal focus is even identical to your tag line. I should be your intended audience, shouldn’t I?

You’re treating this site like a blog or personal journal. Sure, you’re good at talking about your life and your thoughts. I bought a laptop. My blog isn’t getting enough traffic. Etc, etc. Who cares? How does this help people?

Everyone has an opinion. Everyone has their own life to worry about. In general, most people are just not too interested in the lives of other people, unless their lives are full of drama and interesting stuff, e.g. an actor, model, or Steve Pavlina .

So in short, I propose two possible solutions to your problem of no traffic. Either you can:

A) Stop talking about yourself so much, and instead focus on creating something that the reader wants to read and/or considers valuable. Create interesting content focused on the reader, not on you.

B) Start talking about things that are dramatic and exciting in your life. People don’t care about your laptop purchase. If, however, you start spilling your guts about your personal relationships, or how you went to the club last night and screwed three women on the dance floor and then got in a fight with one of their boyfriends, this would at least have the effect of catering to the lower mind and emotionality of people. There’s a reason why there are so many drama shows on TV. It’s because people are addicted to stuff like that. Of course, this would completely go against your tag line. So I guess you would have to reexamine your goals.

I’m not trying to bash you or anything, so don’t take any of this stuff personal. It’s just pretty clear that you’re not on the path that you originally intended to be on, and so these are some things that may lead you to a solution.

In general, I would also spend some time thinking deeply about the original mission and purpose that you saw for this site. What exactly do you want out of it? What are your goals? Do you want to make money? Do you just want to write and express yourself? Do you want to help people? What is the truth about what you’re trying to do here?

It seems to me that you once had a vision for this site. But that somewhere down the road you strayed away from your original vision and dreams, and instead started rambling on about yourself. It’s time for you to sit down and think about what you really want here, and the direction you’re moving in to achieve it.

Oh, and you should consider making your blog posts longer. I think my comment is the same size as your post now.
