What you have is a hobby. Business is about money - cash and cash flow. Whenever you understand that and stop being preoccupied with how many hits you've gotten (for nothing) then you'll have something. Until then it's just a hobby and all that you say in your question confirms that.

> I don't have a Facebook page to link, or twitter or even tumblr.
