I remember when I first told people I wanted to start a blog. A lot my friends were genuinely happy for me and urged me to do it. They even promised to support me. They reposted my links and checked out my works.

But after a few months, only a few people were still actively checking out my posts and sharing my links. At that point, I felt like giving up on blogging. I mean what's the point of having a blog no one visits.

But when the book finally came out, only a few people bought it. I didn't buy the book. In my defense uhm I was broke. Let's just say I only remember about her book when I don't have money to spare.

A lot of us have been there. Having a lot of people promising to support us at the start of a business only to find out that we are on our own. It sucks but life is like that, unpredictable.

So what do we do in times like this? How do you not give up, when you can't find customers to patronize you or readers who are genuinely interested your work. How do you not lose interest?
