In the first year I was blogging, I got myself up to about 500 regular readers. I made about $10 in ad revenue.

I was putting in just as much effort as I had to make the curated floppy disks. Maybe more, even, because I was publishing more often, and with more images, and the games were bigger and I was sharing music and sometimes flash animations or youtube videos or whatever.

500 regular readers for a blog run by a middle schooler was Ballin', frankly. And *anyone* could find what I was writing. It showed up in *search engines*! All I had to do was wait for the traffic to come to me!!
