The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 55,000 times in 2014. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 20 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
The busiest day of the year was March 28th with 999 views. The most popular post that day was My philosophical differences with the Santa Fe Reporter.

Great job on the 55k views. How much money did it make in 2014..? #inquiringMinds

I actually don’t may money via blogging– no “pay-per-post” or such (if I did it, I would follow the law and post a disclaimer)…but my blogging and Twitter do bring me clients– I do contract communications work for campaigns and organizations handling social media for these groups. Nearly all the people who have hired me became acquainted with me via my blogging and Twitter activism.

No residual stream of income, just referrals? Surely work like this could stand on its own, make money while you sleep..?

I have never pursued blogging for money. This blog started out as a way to write about politics, following my passion.
As 2015 rolls around I’ll be faced with new choices– and if I keep writing as much as I did in 2014, I will need to make some income from it.
