In a matter of time, it will pick up. And when it does, there's no way other way to go but UP! Like every lucrative endeavor, you need to do a lot of work at the onset. Just stick to delivering value to your audience, and the opportunities will just trickle in. In due course, the small things will grow to bigger things.. For some it takes just some months, for others it can take years. You just have to persist and be tough, and you will get there. The most important thing about blogging is to keep the faith.
