Interesting comment
I'm actually a writer in real life (newspapers, magazines) and there are a few of us on this site. But the writing that I do on blogit is very different than my magazine and newspaper work, and I do enjoy it here. But my time reading and commenting expands and contracts with my real life work and travels - I generally don't have the time to do both. So, sorry I've been "away" lately, but that might be another reason people don't show up regularly.

I think you expressed my concerns here, too! Yet, it is a difficult economic time and people are seeking opportunities to make money!

Some of the points you raised are exactly the reasons why I hang around.... a) It keeps me disciplined to write something daily, b) I find inspiration in reading other people's posts, and c) I am encouraged to continue by those kind readers who stop by my blog to let me know they appreciate my contribution. Without those 3 elements the Blogit experience can fall short of one's expectations. Symphony (a blogger who hasn't been on here for a while) used to post a "New Bloggers" post every week - listing new members and providing a link to their most recent submission. This was an excellent way of getting people to read the newbies. You have been on my "People List" for over a year now and I regret that I've not been around more often to enrich your blogging experience. I'll be back more often....

I think the monthly fees might be a bit stiff for the newbies and making
enough money from posting probably doesn't pay the monthly fee, so many leave.
