Blog Success

3 Common Barriers to Blog Success

For many blog success can be difficult to achieve due to

varying reasons or circumstances. The blog building

process itself is a long and winding road filled with many

ups and downs. Many popular blogs you see on the

internet today did NOT get that way overnight but instead

slowly built a loyal reader base over a period of time.

The fact of the matter is that of all the blogging sites

you may find online today only a small percentage will

be in existence a year from now. What is it that keeps

so many of these sites from the dreams of success they

originally started out with?

Here are 3 of the most common barriers that many blogging

sites succumb to in their quest to establish themselves

online.

Uninspired

As already mentioned above the blog building process can

take quite a bit of time. Without gaining any type of

'gratification' over a period of time many tend to lose their

enthusiasm or the inspiration they felt when they first

started. This results in a decrease in the quality of their

post which then leads to a decrease in their readership.

Unmotivated

Once a bloggers inspiration begins to decline due to their

slow progress so does the motivation necessary to

'adequately' maintain the site itself. Now not only are

post lacking quality but they are also becoming more

infrequent as well.

As difficult as it made be to build a steady flow of returning

traffic it is much easier to lose whatever readers you

may already have.

Unappreciated

With little or no sign of gratification the owners of many

blogging sites understandably will then begin to feel

unappreciated. At this point the feeling of 'what is the

sense' starts to sink in and this demoralizing feeling is

tough to shake. Now the blogger is on the verge of

simply giving up and likely will if the lack of gratification

continues. This is a bad but also natural 'emotional' cycle

many fall into when trying to establish a blog.

Achieving blog success online is something to be proud

of due to the fact that it is a feat not easily accomplished.

The blog building process is a long and challenging one

that can and will test the resolve of even the most

motivated amongst us. Even the most popular blogs

you can find online had to pay their dues in patience,

effort and time before they established themselves.

Although circumstances vary from one blogger to the

next the 3 barriers we discussed here today commonly

faced by every blogger at one time or the other. Ultimately

it is the motivation and perseverance of the individual

that determines the degree of success they will achieve.

Blog building is not a short sprint but rather a long distance

run. If you possess the endurance to continue on you will

likely be one of the minority who cross the finish line.
