Blogging Should Be Done With Passion


I started blogging my first blog post way back in Oct 2006 and back then it was just a hobby and interest to write stuff that I was learning online and it never occurred to me that it can make so much money as it has today.

There are hundreds or if not thousands of people starting new blogs everyday wanting to express themselves online or make money from them.

Here a common problem many bloggers faced during the start stage of your blogging journey. They fail to understand that blogging is not a JOB, it’s a hobby and passion which you want to update every week ( if possible daily ). If you treat it as a JOB, there would be high chance you will feel you are blogging for the state of updating it and you will end hating what you do daily.

When you are blogging during your earlier stage, money should not be the may objective or reason that you blog online because it will just fill up your blog with advertisement and products which new readers would never be interested in.

If you are the reader, would you want to read a blog filled with advertisements and blog reviews of products?

You should always start off your blog with great content and focus on grabbing quality readers to your blog and gain their trust before you start promoting them.

A good gauge for you to start with is to get at least 50 readers daily on your blog before you start promotion them stuff. If you have yet to track your hits till now, it time you start looking at it in your Cpanel or install a free service from Google called Google Analytics.

Tracking is a very important role in blogging as it the only way you know how far you have progress in your online business.

Another common mistake people that many people made is they simply give up within the first 3 months and it’s a real serious problem in today’s busy world where we got to work daily.

I may have repeated these tips a couple of times but still I see many have not follow my suggestions and receiving lots of email daily asking for help and wondering why they are not making money from their blogs.

Here’s the main reason why, you are far too busy trying new stuff everyday that you failed to find out what’s the actual cost of the problem?

Most often it can be either wrong traffic that came to your blog or you are simply not putting enough effort to get the readers that you want on your blog :)

So stop what you are doing now and look back at what you have done the past 7 days. Here’s a few questions to help you out.

- Have you updated the blog lately in the past 3 days? If not why?

- Have you check how many visitors are visiting your blog? If not why?

- Have you started promoting any products on your blog? If not why?

- Have you started gathering database on your blog? If not why?

I hope these few pointers will help out those few that are still stuck in making their 1st few dollars and I get lots and really lots of emails asking help in this area so I hope I have pointed out most of needed points for you here already.

    I haven,t yet write my own article in my new blog, but instead i used plr (quality) copy and past. I’m testing how it goes in the search engine. So far ok, can attract around 20 to 50 visitors.

    I fully agree with you Alvin, passion is the answer to success in blogging. Not just any passion, but PASSION in writing your own new original keywords articles, and that is for search engine visitors. Thanks.

    Nice – I’ve actually been doing all those things =) Except right now my site is screwed up so I can’t do much with it… It shows up blank O.o And my analytics aren’t working because it’s blank, I don’t know. I just want my site back.

    Hi Alvin, actually it’s not just blogging. Everything should do with a passion. If there is no passion involves. one may quite easily if they don’t result. I agree we are living in a busy world and it is not just busy but a fast food like lifestyle where every one is seeking an instant success. This is particular true here in Hong Kong.

    So the cure of the problem, well get a plan and follow it daily with perseverance and one should see the success in time…

    Of course if money is really an issue, try to get some freelance jobs or other supplementary income source where can support you for your blogging project.
