Comments on: Less than 1% succeeds in blogging. Why?

This is an excellent post, and I can identify with you. The fact that blogging takes so much work really brings the point home that we should blog about what we absolutely love. Anything else simply won’t work. Unless you love money enough to blog about making money online, as in the case of a few bloggers, that is.

I tend to conceptualize becoming successful on the Internet in terms of how our own universe works.

Let’s say our blog is a little speck of solar dust in the universe that is the Internet. Through our efforts, over time will gain more and more other little specs. This can be done through blog commenting, guest posting, and so on. We need these little specs to get big enough to attract bigger specs.

Once we get even bigger, say the size of the moon, we can actually attract other celestial bodies (are you still with me?) I will then collide with us and make us that much bigger.

Eventually become as big as a planet, and then a sun! In personal development blogosphere terms, I suppose that’s being like Steve Pavlina or something.

But we all started out as a little speck. Gotta go from there, you’ll soon gain enough momentum to become as big as you conceivably like to be.

I think your title “less than 1% succeed” is a little unclear. Like commenters above, ask you to define what is success? To some people to simply voice their opinion is a success, while making a few bucks to another is on the verge of success, and still others want an income to replace their current job, and anything less is a failure.

You are right Tinh, consistency is extremely important. Thanks for sharing this excellent point.

All point listed are correct and I just want to add that blogger must be consistent from the beginning to the end

I have had my writing struggles too but despite this seeming disadvantage I kept on pushing through. When my mind starts to resist, I summon my willpower to defeat any obstacles that come my way. You should too.

I think blogging success will be less difficult if we have fun doing it, just like you do.

Taking off is the hardest part, but once it starts rolling it’s difficult to stop.

Thank you for reminding me of this, Walter. I’m having a struggle right now with regards to my writing. But I guess such points as this one signal to us that the real battle has just begun to take place. Never give up indeed!
