Current Blog Stats (And Why I'm Sharing)

Negative
"We wear the mask that grins and lies, 
    It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,— 
    This debt we pay to human guile; 
    With torn and bleeding hearts we smile, 
    And mouth with myriad subtleties." (Dunbar)

I refuse to wear a mask on this blog. I will not fake it until I make it because that won't be authentic. Right now, there are not that many visitors to this blog. I haven't made much money at all from it (last time I checked, I think it was $0.14). Yet and still, I refuse to hide.

Showing you my stats will keep me accountable. You (and I) can see where I started and compare it to where I am December 31, 2012. Anything that I achieve, I want you to know that it's possible - even for the average Joann.

Here are my current stats for the past month (December 4, 2011 - January 3, 2012):


As you can see, the stats are definitely nothing to brag about. That's not why they're here. The intent is not to brag. The intent is to show that real people can grow their blogs.

Are you tired of folks who hide behind the mask? Share your stats and let us watch you grow... (be sure to post the link here).
