Speaking to an empty room

Last night I was in the process of writing my next blog post. As I was researching keywords I started to think about my (non-existant) audience. Who am I writing this post for? What are they interested in? I don't really know yet. My site is only a few weeks old, with no organic traffic. All of the views and comments are from Wealthy Affiliate. That's all good, but WA ins't the traffic I'm going for.
That's when we start to think we're talking to an empty room.

We spend hours (or days) researching, designing, and writing to put something online that may not be read by anyone. At least not for a while. And that's after spending hours (or days and weeks) building the site so have a place to put that blog post.
But we do it anyway. And maybe, someday, someone will stop as they walk by that door in the back of the room and listen to what we have to say. Hopefully they will come in a take a seat. And then maybe more will follow.
To use an already overused idiom, Rome wasn't built in a day. As I've said before, this is a marathon. Recently Ace and Rich (members here) posted a video where they were interviewed. In the interview they said that they started with a goal to blog daily (as in one post per day) for at least one year, with ZERO expectations of return or success. That's insane, and amazing.
So I have a lot of work to do. I enjoy it, but I become impatient for results sometimes.
