Have everyone tried blogging yet? You may not be influenced
by me maybe some other blogging gurus out there that may be your coach or
trainer. I hoped somebody will tell their story with me and other readers on
their personal opinion when blogging. Experience is the best teacher in life. What
makes you tomorrow is your own experience.
I will share mine first. For anyone who already started
blogging, they will realize that it is not as easy as they think. That is why
only a few survived the blogging world. With millions of blogs out there, there
is almost no chance of survival. Many can start a blog but many can’t maintain
it and they will give up. Don’t think blogging is a piece of cake if you never
blog before.
The reason I blog is to share my experience and I want my
readers to feel what I feel. I love to influence others by my writing even
though my English is not that perfect. As long as readers understand what I’m
trying to say will be enough for me. The feelings that when everyone read what
comes out from your head is priceless. It’s worth more than all the money in
the world.

| Feels like giving up? |
It is important to blog about something that you are
passionate about. I’ve read about this but I can’t put it in the right word. Describing
feelings is my weakness but I try to make you understand. Blogging is actually
like a job or hobby. Don’t think about money first. Get your job going and you
will reap on what you sow. If you have a daily job, you will understand this. No
job means no money.
For me, readers are more important. Concentrate on bringingtraffic to your blog rather than focusing on trying to make money. A blog is an
online journal, don’t forget about that. How can you write a journal when
nobody wants to read your blog? Bring readers first, and then you can make
money. Bringing traffic to your blog is the main obstacle that you must
overcome because it is the hardest part of blogging. For this reason also, many
will give up.
Avoid negative thinking in your head. Don’t listen to those
voices in your head saying “you are not good enough”, “nobody wants to read
those crap you write”, “there are too many competitors” or “this blog will take
years to develop”. If you are not sure if blogging suits you, do many
experiments. Create a few blogs from free blogging platform. If you love what you
are doing, then you can go for paid domains.
Here are examples of obstacles when you start a blog:
- Lack of idea in writing
- Lazy to update your blog
- Not consistent in updating your blog
- Too many competitors those are obviously better than you
- No traffic (don’t know how to get traffic)
- No traffic (too lazy to find traffic)
- Always doing things for money (this can really frustrates you)
- Thinks that blogging is easy
- Don’t care about asking for help
- Give up too quick
I can list down a hundred more obstacles if I want to. This is
just the example. People are different and they see things differently. Some may
give up for a while but they will continue back what they have started. Some people
just give up and do something else. Not all people are lucky enough to head
straight to success. Almost all have to work hard.
Discipline yourself if you want to blog. Some people see
blogging as an impossible way to make money. This is certainly almost true. You
can make a few cents and a few bucks per month but to really make money seems
impossible. But think back again, if you can make a few cents or a few bucks,
it means that you can make money by blogging.
Conclusion
Blogging is a business and no businessman starts their empire
in a blink of an eye. You have to work hard. Let’s stop talking about blogging
for now. Talk about starting an outlet, shop, stalls or any other physical
business. You will again face the same problem. You don’t get successful if you
don’t do anything. You have to advertise and introduce your business to others.
