Reasons Why Most Bloggers
Fail - There are many reasons why most bloggers fail,some of the reasons are:
1. Lack of Goal:
So many
bloggers fail to realize the importance of having goals. A goal is a plan of
what you hope to achieve within a specific period of time. You might want to
have 1000 daily unique visitors, but when? You have to have a time-frame for
goal and you should try as much as possible not to limit yourself with your
goal. You should also realize that faith without work is nothing so while
setting yourself goals; try to work towards achieving your goal.
2. Lack of Passion:
Lack of passion is one of the major reasons
why most bloggers fail online, they don’t have any passion for blogging, and
they just began blogging because they saw a particular “popular blogger” make
six figures blogging. They only went into blogging because of the money.
Passion is a key element to successful blogging so you have to make sure you
are blogging about your passion. Your passion must not be too insane rather; I
mean not what others don’t like. If you blog about what no other person loves
then there is no how you can get people to your blog. You have to look for what
is closer to your passion and develop a strong affection towards it, in this
form it will become part of you soon. It is also very important to blog about
your passion so that you will not quit blogging soon.
3. Lack of Creativity:
As
bloggers, we must be able to be creative and come up with new ideas on our own.
Great and successful bloggers don’t just follow the norm, they all have their
own ideas, they are creative in one form or the other which is what leads to
their success. Many bloggers try to build traffic to their blog using only
strategies like blog commenting, social bookmarking e.t.c. Not that all these
things don’t work anymore, they work quite effectively but are already
saturated so in order to achieve success more easily you have to come up with
something different.
4. Greed to earn:
Many new
bloggers only start blogging with the intention to earn which is why they quit
after not earning enough within a short period of time. Your main intention for
blogging should not just be to earn or make money from your blog but rather to
impact lives, establish yourself as an authority and some other valuable
things. You shouldn’t just expect to eat without working; your blog is not just
a platform to make you eat while being lazy. Get off yourself that old
mentality: “make money doing nothing”. I don’t think it is possible to make
money doing nothing, try to give value, build your trust, gain credibility for
yourself and you will reap the rewards.
5. Lack of personality:
You
should not fail to realize the importance of personality in your blog; try to
be as personal as possible. Blogs are not a medium for scamming, blogs are used
to build your credibility and establish yourself. If you think you can just
setup a blog with the intention of scamming people, then you are deceiving
yourself. Use your real name, add a picture of yourself, don’t use another
persons writing style. Be yourself and yourself only. It is also very important
to have an about page which will tell your readers more about you. “You cannot
be me and I cannot be you, Try to be yourself.”
6. Ignoring SEO:
You want to build that great empire? But you
have forgotten that it is only little drops of rain that fills the bucket. You
hate Google, you hate Yahoo and you hate all those search engines, you just
don’t like them. You are human, so why should you be working for robots. You
are not deceiving me, but are only deceiving yourself. Try to learn SEO and use
it to your benefit, you will love yourself for it. Another great secret is that
search engine traffic is one of the best type of traffic you can ever have
because those who come through search engines are very desperate for
information and are ready to stay if you give them what they want.
7. Lack of concentration:
Many bloggers fail to concentrate on one blog,
they move to another one without having success with the first one. Stop
building “hundreds” of blogs, focus on one. If you have established your first
blog, you can then move to another one. It takes a lot to build a successful
blog and concentrating your attention on too many blogs at a time won’t do you
any good.
8. Inconsistency:
Blogging is not a sprint or a
short race, it’s a marathon! Most bloggers crank out content for the first few
months, and then they get lazy and slowly stop producing.
When they feel like it, they
start blogging again. This just doesn’t work because your readers won’t know
what to expect from you.
To make matters worse, the
problem of inconsistency doesn’t stop there. It also applies to your content
quality. Sure, you may have produced a good post or two, but you aren’t doing
it consistently. Regularly producing good content is one of the key ingredients
you need to have in order to create a successful blog.
Start studying and analyzing what
your readers like. Produce more of that and less of the stuff they don’t care
about.
No matter what, always be
consistent with your publishing schedule.
..
You now see why so many
bloggers fail, learn from the above points and try to avoid them as much as
possible and I bet you will be successful in “no time”
