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.

How to collect thread dump from Tomcat using JStack utility tool?

Java 1.6 onwards, “jstack.exe”, a utility tool comes along with the JDK installation and can be found in the folder %JAVA_HOME%\bin. If you aren’t able to find it along with your JDK installation, even then you should be able to download this utility without any issues at all. This utility just requires the PID of the Java process that you are interested to collect the thread dump. In this article, you will be able to understand and know how to collect thread dump from Tomcat using Jstack utility tool.

Just FYI, the utility that comes along with the JDK installation isn’t complete and lacks the following features, if you are trying to figure out why these aren’t working on your Production systems.

The process of collecting thread dumps using Jstack utility tool:
  • Option “–m”: This option is used to generate the thread dump in MIXED MODE, which means that you will be able to print native stack traces in addition to the Java stack.
  • Option “-F”: This option is used to generate the thread dump FORCIBLY.

If you are on a UNIX based operating system then you will be able to find the PID of the java process using the following command:

ps –ef | grep java

(OR)

$JAVA_HOME/bin/jps –v

If you are on a Windows-based operating system then you have to follow the steps below:

  • Press Ctrl + Alt + Del and click on “Task Manager” button
  • Click on the “Processes” tab
  • From the menu, click on “View” -> “Select Columns” and check the PID (Process Identifier) check box as well
  • Now you can see the PID of your “java.exe” in the “Processes” tab.

Fire a command prompt window (CMD) and traverse to %JAVA_HOME%\bin directory, and then run the following command with the PID that you’ve obtained in the above step.

Jstack –l %PID% > ThreadDump.log

Since the process is not responding, you could try generating the thread dump using –F option.

By issuing the command above– you will be able to find your thread dump on %JAVA_HOME%\bin with the name as given on the command prompt.

Eco Tours: Experience the wonders of Nature

I know everyone will be busy meeting their friends and family over this festive season so all I would suggest is to care for each other and share the joy across everyone. So, as part of this process and also to celebrate our Christmas Eve with my office colleagues we went out to a resort.

Usually most of the time we always go to most entertaining resorts which has all the attractions. So this time we wanted to try something different. I was looking out for alternative options where we as a team wanted to explore the wonders and peacefulness of nature.

Eco Tours A collection of Interviews

During this process, I have encountered with Eco-Tourism friendly resorts and found exactly what we were looking.

So what is Ecotourism and how different is it from others?

In a nutshell, Ecotourism is nothing but a respect for the environment. This type of tourism involves less pollution, low-impact, and less waste. It is like visiting a natures paradise as an individual with all natural means:

  1. Tourists are encouraged to walk and also promote cycling and hiking.  Unlike the traditional vehicles which pollute the environment. By following these simple regulations tourists are respecting the environment. Also, they are not disturbing the natural habitat.
  2. Unlike traditional hotels, the tourists will be exposed to eco-lodges.  The locals share their knowledge and their lifestyle.
  3.  The individual will experience the local foods without any food waste. Most of these meals include organic, vegetarian and sometimes vegan food as well.

Pro tip:  Hear from alot of travellers who has already experienced the nature like never before.

For more reviews CLICK HERE

It adds additional revenue for the locals as most of them offer home stays and guide you through their lifestyle and talk about the prominent things around them.

I had the true experience of being close to nature and spending our quality time exploring and hiking the surrounding places. I just felt that it was just a start and they are a lot of places like these around the world.

So it just happened that I have one more item added to my bucket list, i.e. to explore all of these places that are described in this wonderful journey

If you are bored with your regular life and want to experience the true nature and re-evaluate yourself then I highly recommend you to travel the eco-friendly way.

Bluehost is considered to be one of the best choices to host your WordPress site and it is officially recommended by WordPress team. In this article, I am including a coupon discount which reduces the hosting prices and the price would range from $3.95/monthly to $5.95/ monthly.

Sign up with Bluehost (The Discount is automatically applied).

All of my blogging life, I was only pleased with two of the hosting providers and impressed me with their sales and service. I have been hosting all my blogs on WordPress platform from past 3 years and I have managed to try and tested all different service providers but found nothing like BlueHost, SiteGround, and Hostgator etc.

One of the main reasons why Bluehost is the best bet is because their servers are 100% optimized for WordPress platforms. Also, for a starter who is looking for a quality hosting within the budget then BlueHost is the only option.

Bluehost Offers Unlimited Bandwidth:

One of the key features of Bluehost is that they offer UNLIMITED BANDWIDTH. This is an ideal and perfect match for starters and upcoming bloggers whose traffic grows over a period of time. Most of the cases, the hosting service providers provide a certain level of bandwidth and ask you to upgrade your package to continue further which is a pain point.

Thanks to Bluehost because it is not the same case, if you are with Bluehost then you don’t have to worry about your online presence and you can 100% put your efforts in making your business grow.

 Alright, let’s look at the special discount offer from Bluehost for Aneetin.com readers.

I recommend you to read the information carefully so that you will be able to save money and opt a right hosting package.

Bluehost Promo Code: $ 3.95 for Two Years of Hosting!

Further below you will find a discounted link which will allow you to select a basic plan $4.95/monthly for 1 Year hosting plan, $3.95/monthly for the 2-year hosting plan and $2.95/monthly for a 3-year plan. Going on with personal experience and also suggest newbies grab a 3-year plan to save a huge amount of web hosting costs.

 Three shared hosting plans offered by Bluehost:

If you are looking for a plan where you are going to host more than one website then I would recommend you to opt for Bluehost’s “Plus” package. Using this plan you will be able to host multiple websites under the same hosting plans.

 Pro Tip: A shared hosting is the best way to initiate the process with WordPress. As on when your website traffic increase you need more resources. With a wide variety of hosting options with Bluehost, you can upgrade your existing plan and go to dedicated hosting plan or VPS. All of this can be done from your Bluehost cPanel.

For you to avail the Bluehost discount you don’t need any coupon code. Simply, follow this special link to sign up and opt any hosting plan of your choice.

The four packages offered by Bluehost:

1.     Basic: Perfect if you are planning to host only one site.

2.     Plus:  Awesome for hosting multiple websites. (MY suggested Plan)

3.     Prime: All the benefits of Plus package but comes with few more extra goodies which are worthy.

So before I share Bluehost discount link, I want you to know few more features that are offered by Bluehost:

  •  A free Domain name
  • Free SSL certificate
  • Unlimited storage
  • Unlimited bandwidth
  • Host unlimited websites (starts with Plus package)
  • FTP access
  • One click WordPress Installation.

CONCLUSION

In a nutshell, Bluehost can be considered as one stop solution where you will get everything related what you need to host a website. I usually don’t do reviews of web hosting services. But I got chance to work with a lot of budding bloggers to set up their WordPress, I had a wonderful opportunity to work on Bluehost servers and I was really impressed with their server performances.

So if you are looking for a website and hosting services then I recommend grabbing their 2-year plans right now. Also, remember that you will get one domain for FREE with your new hosting account.
