I found out a couple of days ago that my blog in Wordpress is still up and running. I started it in 2019, and abandoned the whole of 2020. Then I received a spam mail about it. At first I am so confused, I thought my email account was compromised. When I checked the linked and tried to log in, it took me to my old blog posts of product reviews.
Even with no promotion, looks like I managed to secure 14 followers for my blog. And since I am always partial to reading and writing, I decided to resume my blogging. Who knows, maybe I can monetize it if I am able to increase traffic and engagement in my blog.
I used to maintain a blog about my life, it's all a day in the life kind of deal which I started in 2011. I noticed that the highest engagement I got pertains to my immigration journey. It is nice to know that people are curious about the hardships and challenges of legally moving and getting acclimated to a new country. Since this is still a topic that a lot of people look for, I might include this in my blog as well.
I have two upcoming new posts, and hopefully I will be able to increase my follower count. I just need to edit the pictures to make them look professional and neat, and I need to choose how to watermark it. Maintaining a blog requires some work too, and I like how at the end of the day, I can look back see my progress in terms of writing, editing, and ohotography.

I used to blog too but stopped when I became so busy with my work. I didn't renew my host and domain. I am planning to return to this activity but I am not sure if I would be able to maintain so I need to think about it thoroughly.

When I read your discussion, my first thought was what could your blog topic be and instantly my mind replied your migration to US will be a hot topic to talk about.

@RebeccasFarm That's one of the things that can be disheartening - putting the word out.

Good luck with your blog. Lots of people start writing blogs and then give up . Be careful though because getting spam can mean your account has been hacked or something.
