the visits will be probably your own. use a specific browser when visiting your own blogspot website and go to blogger and under stats check do not track my own views. do it on every browser if you visit your website for more than one web browser i.e firefox, chrome, i.e, opera etc
You need to do some seo that include link building and social bookmarking.
Blogspot is a good choice for beginner's who don't want to spend money on custom domain and web hosting, i also started from blogger back in 2009.
Just stick to your blog, build backlinks, join social networks twitter, pinterest, facebook. create your website account there and post regularly and update them.
Don't focus too much on money or you will fail in start, thats my little experience. try to put content or useful information/ posts that visitors want from you.
If you have time create a hubpages and squidoo accounts and posts some original and good articles there put one good link in each of the article, don't make it spammy or it will get removed.
Stick to it, for sometime and you will succeed. Good Luck
