Top 8 reasons why most of the bloggers don’t succeed or make money

Today I have decided to write an article on the factors that are actually stopping me to continue blogging. As per the new year 2018 resolution I wanted to dedicate at least 20 hours per week time on blogging and also promoting. But you know what happened, I have failed.

If you are looking to start a new blog then this article will definitely help you understand what  are the things not to do while blogging.

Things to care of before buying domain name and webhosting, In depth review.

These were the targets that I had for myself in the Month of January 2018.

Target 1: 

I had 46 posts in total where there were no on-page SEO is implemented and no right keywords associated with it. After learning the basics and using YOAST SEO plugin  I have decided to update all my previous posts rather than working on new articles.

I have failed again, this is my status as of now

Yoast SEO posts Overview

I have still 12 posts that are just lying on my blog and doesn’t have any keywords associated. So it is like I have all the content available but no one knows about it.

It has always been a learning curve for me from the time when I started my blogging till now. I have started blogging without understanding SEO and importance of Keywords. But I was good at writing stuff for my self on different topics.

As on when I have learnt something new, I have applied it to my work so that I could see the change.

Have I seen the change?

Yes absolutely, I have seen the changes and things started working out for me. Even though I don’t promote my work, I always had organic traffic on day to day basis.

Target 2: 

Looking at the Alexa ranking I wanted to improve my ranking so that I end up getting paid opportunities to promote a brand or a business on my blog.  When I have evaluated my ranking with Alexa it was a decent number for a new blogger but as on I have started neglecting my blogging and promotion activities  ( for about 2 months) the rank went way beyond out of control.

Here is my current ranking:

I have failed in terms of meeting these two targets, yet I didn’t give up on my blog.  I will talk about what I have gained during these two months in a bit.

So what are the factors that were stopping me to blog continuously?

Things not to do while blogging:

  • Over expectation of results
  • Not being Consistent
  • Having frequent distractions
  • Not going with the plan and the targets
  • Too much of learning aspects where you cannot balance your learning time and practical implementation of the same.
  • Not dedicating time to Promote your work on social media platforms
  • Not involving yourself in social networking activities
  • Picking up wrong category niche which doesn’t interest you or expect you to blog

These are the factors that I have observed that I was not doing it, so I wanted to write up an article on this so that I could share my personal experience and help other bloggers and help them out.  So never distract from your own targets and goals,  just don’t quit.

So what I have done for these two months, did I make any money? did I learn something new?

Well, I have started providing my content writing services to several other businesses and consultants. It was definitely a time worth spent on getting new contracts from new clients.

I hope you will definitely make some time for yourself to understand your goals and targets. The important aspect that I have realised is to continuously work and re-assess your targets and work towards it. Make it as a daily activity or to do list until you find your happiness.

I said happiness because that’s when I feel that I have succeeded something that I have planned.

Do let me know if you have faced any other challenges for yourself.
