Hit 10,000 total visitors on my niche blog last week and it threw me off

I run a tiny blog about fixing old hand tools, like restoring rusty planes and chisels. Been posting for about 14 months, mostly just for myself. Last Tuesday I checked my stats and saw 10,003 visits total. That felt wild because I only get maybe 15 people a day on average. Did any of you guys hit a random milestone that made you stop and look twice?

That's awesome man, 10k is a big number for a niche like that.

Double down on that niche hard. 10k subscribers in a specific area means you're the go to person for that topic. People trust you more than some huge channel that covers everything. That trust leads to way better engagement and actual sales if you ever want to monetize. You could probably charge a premium for sponsorships since your audience is so targeted. Keep grinding and that 10k will feel small in a year.
