I should get back to focusing on my Sonic blog. I know I've shared information on it that is unique, but it's technical information and it needs to be rewritten since it's written in a wiki format. Though it can be tough to get views on a niche that's overdone, but I tend to get at least 100 views within the first few weeks of writing a article. I need to work on the SEO of the blog, as it's not even listed on the first page on Google at the very least. Blogging can be a great way to express yourself but also drive traffic to your brand and you can earn more money if you have a business and a blog attached to the business.
