When I check out my google analytics I just want to cry

Each time I publish a new article I feel so excited.

I put so much work into every detail.

• Keyword research.
• Interview.
• Transcription.
• Editing.
• Creating clickable images.
• Creating more images to share on social media and then sharing like crazy.
• Giving comments. Receiving comments. Replying to comments.

When I'm done I look at the finished product and I feel proud. A sense of a job well done.

And then I eagerly check out my google analytics and I just want to cry.

Because I'm not get any more traffic than I was a year ago on Inspiring Mompreneurs and although Happy Human Pacifier is on the upswing, stats are still dismally low.

On Inspiring Mompreneurs I've had 11,128 page views in a year (927 average a month, there was a big spike in July when I first joined flipboard) and in the last 3 months I've had only 2290 views (763 average a month).

On Happy Human Pacifier I've had 6,816 views in a year (570 average a month) and 1873 page views in the last 3 months (625 average).

And of course it's not just google analytics.

Lack of traffic also equals lack of revenue.

I just got kicked out of Amazon US and Canada AGAIN for not referring one sale.

I've been blogging (part time) for nearly a year and half and haven't managed to produce one Amazon sale. Is that normal, or super slow progress?

Why oh why oh why?

What am I doing wrong?

Is there something I'm missing?

Perhaps I should stop building one of my sites and focus on building just one until it starts generating some significant traffic and starts generating some revenue?

Am I being too impatient or am I making some cardinal mistake that's causing that's slowing my progress down?

If anyone has any advice for me, any pointers, I'd greatly appreciate your input...
