    How big is the biggest virtual audience you ever had?

    Getting a decent sized audience is very very difficult. You can either own a blog or post on a forum, but becoming popular is very difficult.

    Out of a thousand who try, one or two will succeed.

    I tried a blog once and couldn't stir up any traffic. It wasn't that they didn't like what I said , it was that |I wasn't smart enough to get them there to begin with especially with the pay to play web search system. The other alternative was to hawk readership on social media and that ain't my thing either. Then some idiot makes a video of a "singing dog" and the whole world takes it. LOL

    My web site averages about a thousand visitors a month. That's very small.It is an audience of sorts.(I have had this one for twenty years)
    Liberals are a clear and present danger to our nation
    Pick your enemies carefully.

    Sadly gathering a good audience on a blog is much more difficult then on a forum.

    I guess I get about a thousand visits per month to my posts.

    Fortunately I do meet many interesting people on the forums. Many people have much greater expertise in Law and Social Sciences then I do.

    Going into STEM was my great blunder.

    I once posted a commentary on a bulletin board and the local newspaper asked if they could publish it. I was like, "Yeah. Sure". It struck a nerve and the next thing I know, people all over the city were talking about how they agreed and mentioning my name. People even showed up at my door to ask if I'd be interested in running for Mayor. Next thing, someone must have thought I was a ringleader and it ended up with veiled threats toward my family. True story.

    Last thing I'm interested in is a large audience.
    Make Orwell fiction again.

    I get roughly 200 visits per blog post. Sometimes more. Seldom less. I write one to two posts per week.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.

    In terms of real audiences, I twice spoke before a packed auditorium with more than a thousand people.
