Avoid The Bad Side of Blogging
How many blogs do you suspect there are on the Internet? …another one was just started, and another, and another and…
There are millions of blogs online today and most are practically tripping over one another to start their own.
My question is why? One word. Money!
Folks think blogging is the sorcery bullet they’ve been missing to earn money for the 1st time in their life. The next thing is blogs are so easy to start a kid of 10 could do it. Naturally after 1 or 2 days the new blogger starts to notice that the money isn’t flowing in and this is soon to be a lot of work. They sure are spending a large amount of time working on their new blog and they’ve not made one penny off it yet.
This is the bad side of blogging.
It requires a lot of work to generate traffic to your blog and it takes even more work to convert some of that into a paying consumer. If you place a value on your time you lose money each time you set down and post in your blog. Let’s say you spend 30 mins writing a 400-word blog post and you do that everyday for one month. You have just spent fifteen hours and you may not have even made any cash yet.
That is the rub right there.
The majority will never write 30 posts in the 1st month or maybe ever. The web is cluttered with blogs that were started with good objectives and deserted like an orphan. Somebody should start a blog orphanage for deserted blogs that we could adopt and offer tender loving care to. The bad side of blogging is you could be the following victim of blogging is work syndrome. Another blog started and deserted because blogging is work and isn’t the simple road to wealth you was hoping it was.
A fairly good blog is one that’s started by someone that would keep it up if they never made any money at it. The explanations for this are that the subject of the blog is a taste for the blogger. They have an interest in the topic matter. They could be a pro in what they write about and their experience shows. The reader returns time after time to see what the blogger will say next. They pull out their Mastercard to purchase a product the blogger suggests…They might click a Google ad or subscribe to a newsletter.
It’s all so simple when, a blog is kept dated with useful information.
