It seems like everyone is against you - sure it sounds like I am nuts/schizo, but I can't help it. LOL.

Nah, you aren’t crazy. The push to destroy blogs started around 2012 or so when they got rid of RSS readers. The first one to nuke theirs was Google. You see how that was a death sentence in itself, and how every effort was put in the same direction. They want everyone on platforms they can control.

A little rant here:
- my blog is 1 year old, and it has 150 articles on it
- I have a facebook page (7k followers), a facebook group (1k members), an X account (1,2k followers), instagram (3,5k followers), and Pinterest
- it gets 2k monthly visitors from Google and Bing
- it gets another 200 monthly visitors from social

Getting traffic is literally impossible:
- X limits the reach whenever I include a link, Instagram doesn't let you include links in posts, only in stories, Facebook drastically reduces the reach when you include a link, both on the page and in the group
- I had many posts go viral on Facebook - both on the page and in the group, with millions of views, but only a couple of clicks to my website
- No matter what I post, on ANY social media platform, it doesn't lead to clicks to my blog; even if some post goes viral, I don't get traffic, so no money
- My ezoic EPMV is $2 to $3, even though 95% of my traffic is from the United States

No matter what I do, I cannot get people on my blog to make some money - even $100 a month would be awesome for me.
What the hell am I doing wrong? Please help!

You already have a good following on FB and you already know what type of post can go viral on that platform.

Maybe you should switch to making videos and share the content on facebook.

1 year is enough time for a blog experiment. Don't waste more time. Sell your blog and provide a service. In 1 year you will start to make $100/day not month. Build a real business.

With blogging, even if you rise to the top, it can still die overnight. There is just too much instability.

You don't want to end up like this after investing time and money into a non-business.

Amazing.

With all the experts giving their 1 cents worth, no one has asked you -

WHAT IS THE NICHE ?

A niche is the exact same thing as a "tightly defined demographic"

Once you know the demographic, you can define the product

Once you define the product to sell you can sell it to the customers in your niche

And your articles must feed that niche.

Know the 3 Rules of Marketing -

You have to have a hook (Social media, Youtube Video, Paid ad, Forum Post, Organic SEO)

You have to have a product as good as or better than the competition

You HAVE TO GIVE AWAY A FREE TOY

The giveaway creates the connection to the customer

Giveaway an ebook, a paperback book that they pay for shipping, a PLR course from PLRDatabase.net

You need SOMETHING TO GET THEIR EMAIL address. Only then do you have a customer.

Don't be in the "views" or "followers" business

Be in the money making business

Sincerely,

The Eye

PS. It sounds like you need education. Search BHW for "mega" and find a training course dump on mega.nz

And try the courses at the share site WSODownloads.in. Look for "agency, "authority" "youtube" "tiktok"

Niche is alcoholic beverages.

Thanks so much for your advice, guys! Now, my facebook page is at 12k followers, and my group is at 2k members. I launched a newsletter, and am at 122 subscribers, steadily growing.

I will NOT give up.
 
Exactly, it is not like you are doing anything wrong. It is just how it is. Just keep at it, you will get it eventually

Unfortunately, I cannot use reddit as a traffic source.

I guess the only way is to move forward and grow my socials, put more content on the website and so on.
