Yes.
You'd have to do a little promotion to get that level of traffic. Drop links where you think interested people might see them, find excuses to link your posts where they answer someones question, etc. Post links to your own social media, "i write a thing."
The "base load" traffic of bots and crawlers and script probes will be 10x "real" traffic, and it may be hard to see that people are visiting your site.
