i m not a big fan of chow and shoe but i visit their blogs sometimes as to refer if something useful as their blogs are full of paid reviews which are not much useful. i like to read Garry Conn’s blog as he shares his secrets on how to make money online

I like your point “Traffic takes time to build” any kind of site like blogs, forums ……. etc required some time to build traffic.

you said that ” New blogs see little to no financial return.” The funds are so new that there’s no five-year data then.

It sometimes hard to find the time to blog wth working and school some just don’t think their blogis that important. It also easy to get discoraged when you fellno one is readying your blogso it is a waste of time

I just want you to know that I’m on my fourth month of blogging and that I had passed what you termed as the first critical three months wherein most bloggers stopped blogging altogether.

I’m congratulating myself on my modest gain, but then I’ve read in the concluding part of this post this: “I respect people that have been blogging for at least six months – that takes some serious dedication.”

There’s no rest for me then huh? lol. I just have to put my nose to the grindstone once again to survive another two months and come back here again to report my progress.

I know this is but a fraction of what you meant. I just want to reassure you that the inspiration I’ve taken from reading your posts stays with me. It’s essential for me to keep this alive.

How I wish you’d post more. “,)

You correctly mentioned time management but, it’s also about effort management. With experience you learn how to gain the maximum leverage from whatever you do. For instance, if you are going to comment on someones blog make it on an interesting topic with a high PR if possible as it will gain more traffic. Post topic selection research is most important. Unless you are blogging for pure pleasure you need to consider what advertising the keywords you are going to use will attract. For example, some products and services are more popular than others.

i think that the pool finished because this is an old post but i want to add something , if the new blogger already have much friends interested in his blog this will be good for him and help him to stand with this blog because he will not feel any boring time . also friend invite friend ” maybe authors ” so this help .
with the time he can get high rank and Search Engines this means more traffic , more popularly .
for the question , i’m just starter in blogging but i have a target i hope i reach next year .
thanks to let me post here

Time management is my weakest link. I have to do something about this, if I want to shape up and be a better blogger. I particularly like your emphasis on hard work and the metaphor is apt. Build that blogging muscles, we must and stay with it until we get the stamina for it. Of course, harnessing our passion so we can survive the very often tedious process of sitting down to blog everyday – or whatever blog schedule we’re comfortable with – is key. And to stay with it until blogging has become ingrained in our system or habit helps too.

yes you are very right.

There are times when there is no passion, people write things for advertisers and also for money and that makes their blog lose its self. Its individuality.

Great article. I think all of those reason are like trying to lose weight. If you do not keep persistent and work hard, you are not going to see anything out of a blog.

I’m just a beginner, but already addicted to blogging. I hope that I will be able to keep my blog alive by taking inspiration from experienced bloggers like you. In my view, point 4 is the most important for failure. It is very hard to maintain the flow of conversation and interest in a blog with multiple topics or without any specific topics.

thanks.

Okay, I loved this post, but it was just a tiny bit depressing. I have all the passion for what I want to do with my blog, but not much traffic and I’ve been blogging for over a year. On the other hand, I am determined to learn what I need in order to make my blog better. This post helps. Thank you very much!

One way to beat the blogging blues is to write about a variety of topics. If you limit yourself to a specific field it gets boring and monotonous.

I’ve been blogging since 2002 on xanga. I blogged about everything and anything and I think it was my personality and outrageous bitchfests that endeared me to so many people. I have *just* recently moved over to my own domain after realizing that I actually had a decent fanbase from my xanga blog. It was high time I made money for myself with my nonsense rants and ramblings as opposed to making money for xanga, those bastards. But I digress, I’m glad its working out for you!

The major reasons that led for not lasting blogging are not serious practice of time management and consistent interesting writing to capture the attention of your readers ( especially if your blog is new).
