> What went wrong? This year I didn't have as much to blog about. In 2016 I had five popular posts (1 2 3 4 5), while in 2017 I only managed two (1 2). The posts tend to send a lot of high-quality traffic, so the impact was bigger than you might expect. I haven't figured out how to invent posts from thin air when I simply have nothing new to share.
benmu if you're reading, what about doing shorter but more regular posts on life in Japan from your family's or just your perspective?
(That being said, I'm much worse than you on blog posts; something I will correct starting now.)
> Tried paid YouTube ads, and while I did get some subscribers, in the end they were just too expensive to keep running. Tweaking the ads was very time consuming and expensive (but fun).
Instead of paying for Youtube ads, why not just do your own candy videos instead?
