What’s Holding You Back from Blogging – Follow up

Everyday blogging can have its consequences. But otherwise if you find somethng useful make use of it.

Its verly little popularity for me..

Yes, I've succeed the 20 days post challenge. And I found this habit is really help to build up my blog traffic since Im still new :)

--blog for dream--

Think optimistic.... or u can even write about optimistic... Cheers

Nohting can hold you back if you visit JC everyday. He will move you up.

I am following this stuff from quiet many days. Now I understand blogging is difficult and eventually :"Making Money Online": Is also difficult

How many things can a guy do? Time is finite and quite a bit of it goes into making a living. I am not making it by blogging obviously.

laziness ...

Probably the thing I struggle with the most is taking on too many online ventures at once. It can get stressful trying to maintain a daily blog, but it gets done somehow. :mrgreen:

I managed to keep up, well mostly. I will post about it soon, and I'll be giving out some link love to all other participants! ;)

Well, Gary, I did my best :smile: and linked back too in the original post. :wink:

I took the advice and blogged nearly daily for the past month. I also submitted some of my blog posts to some web sites with similar content and let them use the content for free as long as they plugged my blog. I participated in a couple of blog carnivals as well. The result? My traffic went from about 100 page views in August (I started in late July), to nearly 6,000 page views in September, so I would say it was definitely a success. My blogging income has also increased a bit, but I'm nowhere near John Chow-type money. If I could only figure out some better ways of monitizing my blog and increasing the page views, I think it will pay off in the long run, but I'm not complaining about my short term success.

John Chow has been one of the inspirations for me to start blogging and I am going to attempt to blog the twenty straight days!

Nice Roundup. I believe what's holding me is my day job. It my primary source of income!

Blogging for money is hard!!! Have to put a lot of time and effort. Unless you have too much free time or it's your fulltime job, otherwise blogging for money is not for everyone!!!

For me it's school

My problem is, I always wanna start to blog, but I need everytime to inatianlize about 1h my next post. Only initialize.

Some good reading there by the looks of things, will take a while to get through it all.

I went ahead an wrote about it...This Is What Happens When you Blog Everyday :shock:

The most I missed was a day here and there but other days I mad it up with two or three posts. Thanks for the challenge. It got me off my ass and now it's like I can't stop. That good old feeling of flow. And hey, traffics up and Google banned my name. What could be better?

Looks like dealdotcom wordpress plugin doesn't work well :mad:

Nothing - have been posting daily 3-5 entries since 1995...

Some great posts in this list.

Oooo, oooo, oooo, I got a mention!!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I kept up my end of the bargagin, blogged a daily post for 3 weeks, but it was hard at times. There were some days when I didn't want to blog for poopie poo. What helped was putting some of my posts in a queue, so even when I wasn't in the mood to blog, I could rely on a scheduled post being published to fulfill my daily quota.

My traffic hasn't increased much, but I HAVE noticed that blogging seems to be less of a chore now, and more of a routine. I also think that it helps to keep your posts short, between 200-500 words. Don't set the bar so high for yourself in terms of how long your blog posts need to be. You don't need to wait until you're inspired to write a 30,000 word thesis on a topic. That was a mentality I had to fight myself. :smile:

Other stuff to do :twisted:

Ahh I see what you are doing John :-) Thats good...lol.

I manage to stay on my track. September showed 33 Posts an 30 days, so this makes a success for me.

#1 reason for holding you back from blogging is My girlfriend and her constant naging about im allways online. Your's truly thegeekboys.com
