I know that feeling :-)
You probably need to build a following first through comments on others blogs.. If you write something special or something with lots of work its maybe better to save it till your following is larger.
I've come to realise that it takes time, effort and commitment before things turn around
Don't loose heart and keep plugging away ..I'm sure the returns will come :-)
