Do you mean to tell me that you're going to quit blogging just because you spent weeks writing good content and putting in the work, and you're not getting much traffic?
I can't say I blame you because this is exactly what happens to 95% of blogs out there.
According to the New York Times, approximately 95% or more of blogs are eventually abandoned.
In other words, they fail.
This really is too bad because if you know anything about SEO, depending on your niche and depending on how strategic you are in distributing your content, you may have to wait a long time to get traffic.
That's the nature of the beast.
Take the case of my blogs.
Coming in, I assumed that I won't get any traffic for at least 3–6 months.
Depending on how competitive my target niche is, I am prepared not to expect any traffic for even up to a year.
But I still do the work.
I still produce hundreds of posts.
I still interlink them.
I still target the right keywords.
I still deliver the search intent.
The key here with blogging is to have a builder marathon mindset.
A builder mindset is when you are content with just building stuff according to standards and stamping the outcome with pride.
You know you did a good job. You know that you're delivering solid value should anybody read this material, and then you move on.
This is where the marathon mindset comes in.
The marathon runner doesn't sprint the whole 26 miles.
They're going to kill themselves if they did that.
Instead, they pace themselves.
What I do is I would build 100–150 or even 300 blog posts and then move on to another blog in a different niche.
Get 300 posts up and then move on to another blog.
I don't even think about monetization.
By the time the organic traffic starts kicking in, I circle back to the blogs that I've put up earlier and then start interlinking them better and start monetizing them.
That's how you play the game.
It's a long-term game, and it's a volume game.
But if you're looking for quick results, believe me, there are faster ways to make money online.
You can try email marketing.
You can try ad arbitrage.
There's just so many ways to make money if you are looking for a quicker return.
But if you're looking for a long-term passive income, blogging is one of the best out there.
Another good one is Kindle publishing.
Basically, you publish books, and if people buy them in the future, you get a royalty and that royalty is for life!
So as long as your book is up on the Amazon Kindle bookstore, 10 or 20 years from now, you can still be making money from a book that you wrote decades ago.
Do you see how this works?
I understand your decision, but use this opportunity to learn from what happened so you can manage your expectations better and hopefully achieve better results the next time you try making money online.
I wish you nothing but the best.

Can you please tell us how you automatically add images to your auto generated content because I used unsplash API with main kw as search but the images that get added are irrelevant
