A
successful blogger must have passion to his blog. There are some
factors to be continue with blogging as a newbie bloggers. Here I will
discuss some factors for what a newbie blogger leaves blogging.
It's
not unusual for someone to rush in full of enthusiasm and ready to
rock-n-roll, only to call it quits after several months from what is
known as "blogging burnout".
There
are many things that can lead to a blogger getting burned out, like
losing interest in the topic you've chosen to blog about, so in this
post I'll be covering 5 reasons you'll probably quit blogging within the
next 3 months (or sooner).
Everyone
loves money... in fact, money is necessary to cover living expenses and
to do the things in life that we enjoy. But if "money" is the only
thing motivating you to blog in the first place, you're going to have a
very hard time pushing forward. I know this all too well... because I
started my first blog in the " make money online" niche. And what do you
think happened? I'll tell you this much: I certainly didn't make any
money.
Reason #1 - You're motivated by money
Reason #2 - You've set your expectations too high
We
all want to be the best at everything we do, I know, but when has
someone actually been the "best" at everything they did? Never. I'll
admit, it does require a LOT of ongoing work to grow your blog to a
level of notable success, but you can't be the best at everything
you do; all you can do is "do your best". Setting your
expectations too high will only end up disappointing you.
Every
established blog you look up to is a content powerhouse. They have
content dating back several years or more, and people as well as search
engines return daily
to
consume that content. Why? Because people & search engines
feed off the awesome content those blogs produce. Without a
consistent stream of fresh content your blog will die, but if you're
trying to write 7 days out of the week you might die (only joking :)).
In all seriousness, though, blogging everyday, you're more likely to
burn out.
Before
I started blogging I would always hear the phrase "you need to write
about things you are passionate about". As I mentioned earlier, I
first started blogging about making money online which, to be totally
honest, wasn't something I was very passionate about. I was in love with
the idea of making money, so it wasn't exactly what you would call a
"passion". If you're writing about topics you have little interest in I
can guarantee that, in 3 months or less, you'll be done. We've all fell
victim to analysis paralysis, whether we knew it or not, it just
happens.
It's
natural for someone just starting out to want to over-analyze
everything in an attempt to learn all the bits and pieces, but this is
bad... real bad! Once you're stuck over-analyzing something, this can go
on for weeks often months at a time and you'll quickly burn out;
It's best just to learn enough to get started, then take
immediate action.
There
are definitely many more reasons someone starting a new blog might
throw in the towel before actually seeing any real results, but these
are 5 that I've personally dealt with myself.
Do
you feel as if you can no longer continue writing for your blog? Is it
becoming more and more difficult for you to keep pushing "Publish"?
