How to Grow a Blog
Growing a blog is about a lot more than just followers and other metrics. Especially if you're blogging about particular niche area, engagement with the community in that niche matters. The more engaged you are with others, the more likely you are to grow a core group of followers who are highly engaged with your blog.

Those people may boost your follower numbers, but they do nothing towards maintaining a lively community on your blog.

By the way, you can easily earn $25,000 per year of interest off of $500,000, so becoming a millionaire doesn't have to necessarily be your goal.
