Molly: Can I blog about blogging?

I haven't been reading much outside of classes lately, since as I mentioned earlier I have a love/hate relationship with reading. This leans more towards hate on a regular day. But, I do have a (separate) blog that I post on pretty regularly, so I thought maybe I could talk about that? For some background, my blog has a beauty/lifestyle focus, and I do a lot of makeup reviews. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but it's something I really love to talk about. 

I've been noticing something interesting lately relating to one of my posts. Last November, I did a review of an eyeshadow palette, and I mean yeah, I think my posts are good, but this particular post wasn't anything earth shattering. Somehow though, it has gotten an unusually high number of views for my specific blog, which has only been around for about 8 months. 

In 2018, this post got around 35 views, but so far in 2019, it has gotten almost 100 views. It gets a consistent 1-3 views every day, and it has been that way for most of the year. I am really confused because the palette isn't super famous or anything, and I wonder what draws people to it. I also wonder how so many people have found it? I have about 130 followers, and the majority of my makeup-related posts get 30-50 views in the first 2 weeks of posting. After that, they tend to not be as highly viewed. Hence why I'm so confused about my randomly popular one! I like what I post, but I also know it's pretty niche.

I know this isn't directly related to publishing or anything, but I think it is in the same realm somewhat because it has to do with writing, consumption of said writing, and marketing. It made me think of walking through a bookstore and picking out a book because it has a pretty cover or something. Somehow, one or two people have stumbled across my random post every day over the past 4 months, and they keep coming back. How though?? I'm a tad salty, because I have put much more work into several of the other ones lol... But I'll take the views! 

Again, not sure if this is totally relevant, but I know Prof Stockman likes tangents, and I do too!! I do way more writing than reading, so I figured that could go into my class blog content. (also maybe some self promo for my blog?? jk jk) (sorta)
