For every new blogger having a his new blog is really an interesting experience. You feel awesome when people reads your blog, people comment and you start getting recognition in the blogosphere.
Many people start blogging thinking that they will be the next Darren Rowse or Jeremy or some other inspirational blog in just few days. But when they come to know that they have not really got anything which they expected; they give up!..phew.
So why it is like this?
- Lost Of Patience
One of the main reason could be that the blogger thinks that the blog will get millions of readers in just a couple of nights which clearly shows his impatience. They just do nothing in terms of blog optimizing or anything else which could increase it’s readership base.
- Being Specific
Second reason could be that they only focus only on one specific thing of that niche. For example a blogger starts a blog on iPod’s then he just publishes articles about new iPod’s launched by companies.
He doesn’t thinks anything other than that and when there is nothing to share about any new Ipod launch the blog ultimately runs out of steam.
Instead of focusing on one thing he should actually also talk about things related to iPod’s like Ipod games, software’s and stuffs like this.
- Only Money and nothing else
Many bloggers give up blogging saying that they are not earning anything, duh! So alternatively they start feeling bored on internet and blames things with which he played on his blog saying like this program is not working or it doesn’t let you earn much; blah blah.
These are the most common things which lead to the abandoning of a blog. The simple truth is that making a popular blog requires time, focus and quite a lot of effort.
So, Take your time and build slowly. You will get your results on the long run…
Yeah… I feel that too. How did you start your blog then?
Bloggers should set realistic goals for themselves. They should know when to pursue and when to move on.
Goals? Good point bro. I have even posted a post to have goals and stick to it to make our blogging as well as life more interesting.
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..How To Use Facebook Effectively =-.
Do you make both of long term and short term goal? Hmm…i do, but too bad my mostly goal is failed. Any idea why it happen?
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Quick report – My Smartbloggerz Commenting Idol 2 Participation =-.
You forgot the goals 😛 . Is the reason for it?
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..NoviceBloggers Celebrates Christmas with its 50th Article =-.
@akira07
May be you would not have spent much schedule for your goals… Whats your new year goal friend?
.-= Deepika´s last blog ..Importance Of Guest Blogging =-.
More detail, the goals should be realistic and can be measured. If the goals not realistic, f.e $10,000 in a first month blogging, then the person will stress and give up so easily.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
we should keep short term goal in the beginning. So it will not give as much stress when compared to long term goal. Once we achieve this short term goal we can just work towards the next target.
.-= Deepika´s last blog ..My Favourtie Posts@Which I Have Read =-.
We can make the short term goal as a pilar for reaching the long term goal.
For example :
Long term : $1,000 in a year
Short term :
January – Target $50
Action planning :
a……
b…..
c…..
February – Target $100
Action planning :
a…..
b…..
Just like that 😀
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
@akira07
you quoted with good example bro. we can increase the goals step by step as you said.
.-= Deepika´s last blog ..My Favourtie Posts@Which I Have Read =-.
Once we acheive our short term goals,,, it will be an encouragement for us to work for long term goals.. But we should not give up for anything
.-= Deepika´s last blog ..Importance Of Guest Blogging =-.
You are right man.. i felt with same bored long time ago when i started my first blog. Always learn from others and write something that you really love to is the main key… or otherwise you will start to become ‘copy and paste’ blogger…
Nice entry and thanks for sharing
When u feel like bored start trying new things, play with code, discover new plugins etc.., this can make u to get in touch with Blogging, and not giving up.
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..How To Use Facebook Effectively =-.
And making simple and sometime non-related post is OK. Just don’t do it too much. F.e smartbloggerz ever make post about sudoku games :P.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
so do you want typhoon to post about sudoku games?
.-= Deepika´s last blog ..My Favourtie Posts@Which I Have Read =-.
No, but sometime it’s OK. I’m also don’t like it if it’s appear oftenly.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Quick report – My Smartbloggerz Commenting Idol 2 Participation =-.
yeah sometime its ok… lets just typhoon about it…
.-= Deepika´s last blog ..How To Comment On Other Blogs =-.
Yes Akira, our readers would not like to have irrelevant topics.
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..Create a Buzz and get more exposure =-.
LOL, that’s why i’m write “Just don’t do it too much”. And actually, post like that is come rarely in this blog.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Quick report – My Smartbloggerz Commenting Idol 2 Participation =-.
@Akira May be we can give some off topic posts one / month.
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..NoviceBloggers Celebrates Christmas with its 50th Article =-.
@akira07
As senthil send we can give some off topic post once in a month.. And also when its needed to be published immediately then we can post even off topic post in our blog
.-= Deepika´s last blog ..Importance Of Guest Blogging =-.
Yeah, that was when I was blogging for fun with only little bit craze of making money.
What do you mean by copy paste blogger? Do you mean duplicating article, no, don’t do it.
Lol, if it’s about started my first blog, i have unique experience, my first blog only stand for 1 week and then no update again 😛
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
I think only who want to have instant success may do the copy paste blogging and they must remember that it has instant failure too 🙂
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..NoviceBloggers Celebrates Christmas with its 50th Article =-.
That’s why so many people said instant is not good : instant noddle, instant way to get famous, instant article, etc..
But PLR article is exception, it’s instant but not bad. How do you think?
For people who give up because lazy to update article, their can use PLR
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Quick report – My Smartbloggerz Commenting Idol 2 Participation =-.
Hmmm PLR is good. You grasp the concept , tweak it and present it in your own style. If you just give them as such, I am sure your busted.
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..NoviceBloggers Celebrates Christmas with its 50th Article =-.
PLR is an exception.. But we have to modify the entire content and make it fresh for the readers…
.-= Deepika´s last blog ..Importance Of Guest Blogging =-.
You are right man. Sometimes even i get very lazy and don’t know what to write…
It is good to read about the possible pitfalls while I am still green and eager. Thank you for the helpful and much needed advice. Lokking forward to finding out specifc things i can do avoid this temptation.
Looking for the pitfalls is not easy. You cant always easily find which can make u to give up.
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..7 Questions You Should Answer Before Blogging =-.
That’s why have an expert blogger friend is a must 🙂
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Quick report – My Smartbloggerz Commenting Idol 2 Participation =-.
Sure, there comes the networking with other bloggers a major part to play.
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..NoviceBloggers Celebrates Christmas with its 50th Article =-.
My reason for giving up is that it takes a lot of pain to get authentic content for your Blog, which also has a side effect on my Eyes…
So you gave up? Why? Whats the problem you had with your eyes due to this?
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..7 Questions You Should Answer Before Blogging =-.
He said that it’s hard to make original content for him blog. Hmm…maybe he have creativity block. About the eyes, maybe it’s because he is minus? So, he can’t get too long in front of computer.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Quick report – My Smartbloggerz Commenting Idol 2 Participation =-.
Minus? You mean any short eye vision?
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..NoviceBloggers Celebrates Christmas with its 50th Article =-.
@akira07
yeah friend.. working long time on system will hurt our eyes more… Every blogger should take proper action regarding that.. We should not strain our eyes much
.-= Deepika´s last blog ..Importance Of Guest Blogging =-.
Ever heard about PLR? You can use that.
About your eyes, can you explain more detail? I’m also have a problem with my eyes, it’s -7
Hey Akira, are you using PLR. I dont think thats a good idea to go for.
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..NoviceBloggers Celebrates Christmas with its 50th Article =-.
You are right man. Thanks for nice entry
When I started blogging I didn’t know a thing about it, what a “popular” blogger profile was, that there was potential to monetize etc. I blogged because I enjoyed it and the perks that came naturally were an added benefit. I think this is why after 1.5 years I’m ready to keep going, building the blog and most of all enjoy writing each day!
Most of the good bloggers start with motive like this. Its interesting and encouraging when they get each article published and get good comments for it. Money should not be our concern at any time.
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..How To Use Facebook Effectively =-.
Hmm, i ever unmotivated since not too many people commenting, both on my english or indonesian blog, but i never stop to update. Hope the visitor see my effort and commenting.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Quick report – My Smartbloggerz Commenting Idol 2 Participation =-.
Sometimes it happened to me too. We would have expected some article to receive to many laurels and comments but it don’t happened. But, if we write something without much expectation, it would just get lot of comments.
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..NoviceBloggers Celebrates Christmas with its 50th Article =-.
Well in the first, i’m planning to delete startingfrom20.blogspot.com since i will make another blog which will be seriously managed by me, and also that blog is not earn me any money. But after thinking and consider so many thing, the blog is so memorable and have a history. I think i can’t delete it 😛
I will not give up to make it updated and become nice blog, even there is new blog (which also created by me) 😛
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Quick report – My Smartbloggerz Commenting Idol 2 Participation =-.
Why don’t you just redirect it to the new blog?
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..NoviceBloggers Celebrates Christmas with its 50th Article =-.
@akira07
Definitely its hard to delete our first blog.. It will be our favourite. So You can redirect your old blog to your new one friend… Or you can update some articles weekly in your old blog…
.-= Deepika´s last blog ..Importance Of Guest Blogging =-.
Very good post because of subject witch, I think, every new blogger should read. Yes, it is true that they all think that they will achieve right away results. And when they don’t achieve that, they quit. Simple.

Cool, patience is more important in all the things and in any business. Blogging is kinda internet business and we should be more patient in it since daily more and more people engage in this.
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..How To Use Facebook Effectively =-.
Hey, if you think bloggins is “kinda of internet business”, that’s mean money is a main purpose. I think blog not a business but a 2nd life :P. Only if the time is come, you can monetize it.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
Business doesn’t mean you aim for money. Start your own business and you will always think to get popular, ur products or services reach people better and get good feedbacks. Similiarly, u write articles and expect good responses from readers who read it and u work hard for it. So this is a business too. Clear Aki?
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..Create a Buzz and get more exposure =-.
Ok it’s clear now. So business is not all for aiming tangible things but intangible also, right? Thanks for explaining. Commenting here is business also, right?
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Quick report – My Smartbloggerz Commenting Idol 2 Participation =-.
@Akira Yes , whatever you do in internet, when you get something in return, we can consider it as Internet Business
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..NoviceBloggers Celebrates Christmas with its 50th Article =-.
I agree with all those points, bloggers really need to decide before they start why they will be blogging. If it is for money, then researching the best ways of turning visitors into cash is a must. And remember that Amazon is your friend 🙂
Of course, money is not everything and you should not concentrate on money than sharing things. BTW, how can I use Amazon as my friend, I don’t know about it.
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..How To Use Facebook Effectively =-.
Amazon has an affiliate program. Just Google Amazon Associates and see how you make money with it. You can read Darren Rowse blog as he have published some nice article on making money with amazon.
And just to inform, amazon is not prospectful again. Their also forbid PPC campaign. So, i’m not recommend this program for blog monetization.
@akira07 i think you know well about marketing… You are knowing about all fields..
.-= Deepika´s last blog ..My Favourtie Posts@Which I Have Read =-.
@typhoon Well let me chk at it. i have seen some widgets from amazon on blogs but never cared that they can make money.
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..Create a Buzz and get more exposure =-.
Read my comment, it’s not profitable again. Affiliate company king for me is still Clickbank 😛
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Quick report – My Smartbloggerz Commenting Idol 2 Participation =-.
Oh gosh. But anyway I will try to give both a try.
