Hmm ... How can I get my views?

I am an intensely private person if you've never met me before. However I seem to live my life out online. I'll post stupid Facebook statuses as I want people to know about how mildly interesting my life is. It just gets to the point that what I put up there is actually pretty much the only thing that happens that is interesting. I suppose it's a sort of cry for attention.  However I don't sit counting the likes. I merely put it up there for my own amusement. And for me to look back at this time in history when it should appear on my Timehop in a year or two years time. 

However, being a computing coordinator, I can't help but think about how on earth you could get popularity from a blog. Just watching the Gadget Show last night as background noise, just showed to me that some people are making a sustainable income by living their life through the Internet such as YouTube. But i just don't get HOW. My life is no more interesting than your average Joe.  And I'm certainly not going to resort to endless childish pranks to get views. It's not that I even want people to read my blog like that. I just want to know what makes people that particularly interesting? 

It was just the other day that a friend and I, were watching You've been Framed. This to us was incredibly dull and unworthy of laughing. However as children, the stunts seen would probably have us giggling. Then it struck us. Our standards of comedy have far surpassed grainy home videoes. No, to entertain the public you've got to do something downright dangerous or completely original. Which again isn't me. 

So I don't know. Maybe I should keep plodding on with my blog and see if I can generate more views as a cumulative!
