6 Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Give Up On Your Blog

It’s easy to get into a rut when it comes to your blog. You’ve done the hard work of getting your site up and running and put in a few posts early on, But then one day, you stop writing.

Or maybe you have been blogging for a while but find yourself stuck in a pattern of posting only once or twice a month. You may have even started out with high hopes that this would grow into something big—a full-time job even—but now it seems like there is just no way forward anymore.

If you relate to this. this post will give you some ideas about why some bloggers lose their motivation and how you can avoid making that mistake yourself!

Why do Most Bloggers Quit?

There are many reasons why bloggers quit, and this is something that you need to be aware of. If you’re going through a rough patch in your blogging career, don’t worry. It happens and it might not be always a bad thing!

The first reason bloggers give up on their blogs is because they simply don’t have enough time. Blogging requires dedication, determination, and the ability to work hard consistently over long periods. If any of these things aren’t right for you, then you may not be in the right business at all.

The second reason why bloggers give up on their blogs is because they lack motivation or confidence in themselves or their business idea; whether that’s due to low income or too much competition online these things happen. But it doesn’t mean there isn’t still potential left within yourself as an entrepreneur! Don’t let them get the best out of yourself, though, because nobody else will do it for us either…

What Happens if You Stop Blogging?

If you stop blogging, here are some things that will happen.

You’ll lose the audience you’ve built up. This is probably one of the biggest reasons why people don’t keep blogging: they don’t want to hurt their readers’ feelings by letting them down.

But the truth is, if you have an established audience, they’ll understand if something comes up in your life and stops you from posting for a few weeks or months. They won’t disappear from your blog overnight—they’ll still be there when (and if) you come back!

You’ll lose opportunities to grow your business and make money. I know this sounds counterintuitive because it’s supposed to be about having fun, right? Well, yes—but blogging can also be very profitable if done right!

In fact, some bloggers make six figures per year doing it full-time! If this is something that interests or excites you (or even scares and intimidates), then go ahead and explore how starting or continuing with a blog might benefit both yourself and others around us.

6 Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Give Up On Your Blog

1. You can blog side by side with your job.

One of the best things about blogging is that anyone can do it, as long as they have the words and the platform. If you’re working a full-time job, blogging while you work isn’t impossible; it just takes a little planning and effort.

While I was working my day job, I wrote my blog posts at night, so I wouldn’t get overwhelmed by other tasks that might come up during the day (including overtime). You can start from there. You don’t have to put out content every day just for the sake of putting out content. You just have to be consistent and trust that little growth can bring success whether after a few months or years.

2. You see improvement in the quality of your writing over time.

The first time you blog, it may feel like you’re writing a foreign language. You’ll have to learn how to write and use words that are relevant and make sense. Over time, however, your writing will improve in quality as you become more comfortable with the process. The more you write, the faster and more efficiently you’ll be able to produce content for your audience—and that’s when things take off!

As a writer, there is always room for improvement, so it’s important not to give up on yourself or your blog just yet! 

Improvement is a journey. I’ve been stuck on the plateau of learning for two years and thought I’ll never be a good writer. But after those tedious years, I realized that, “hey, I’m no longer asking the questions a beginner blogger didn’t know about.”

“Wow, I can actually keep up with what experienced bloggers are talking about.”

You don’t notice it, but as long as you continue publishing, you get better over time.

3. You inspire and motivate readers, and they thank you for giving them answers.

You may wonder why you should keep at it, especially if your traffic isn’t increasing as quickly as you’d like it to. The answer is simple: You inspire and motivate readers.

When they read your content, they feel like they can improve their lives. They begin to believe that things are out there that will help them solve problems and become better versions of themselves.

Because of this, I’ve stuck with my blog through thick and thin—even when I’m not getting the results I want from it yet (like increased traffic).

In the beginning, I’m doubting if my blog would ever take off. But you see, blogging isn’t about simply making money or getting famous (although both could happen). It’s about helping people and being a part of how they become better versions of themselves.

4. The more you write, the more you become an expert in the niche.

If you are passionate about your blog topic and want to write about it, then you should! Your readers will appreciate it more than anything else. The more you write, the more they will trust you and follow your blog.

The more they trust you and follow your blog, the more visitors visit your site. They will stay longer and share your content with others, resulting in a higher overall conversion rate for the business, which is always good news! You become their go-to author and will imitate your ways because you’ve already established expertise and trustworthiness.

5. Your blog is a passive source of income.

If you do it right and your blog posts reach an audience who really cares and needs your writing, you can earn money just by publishing a helpful blog post once in a while.

This is especially true if people come back regularly and find value in what they read there. If they feel like they get something out of reading your blog posts, then they’ll feel compelled to share them with their friends via social media or email.

And those shares will eventually lead to more subscribers who see these ads (which means more income).

In other words: your blog may not only be a side hustle. It’s also a legitimate business that earns passively with minimal supervision.

6. Blogging is a scalable business.

Blogging is scalable.

You can add more content over time and make your blog bigger, better, and more fun to read. You can also hire someone to help you with your blogging efforts so that you don’t have to do it all yourself.

Try different strategies, like guest posting or commenting on other people’s blogs, to get more traffic for your site. Many bloggers utilize social media such as Pinterest and Facebook to scale their audience reach.

You can scale your blogs and expand as you gain more experience in the industry. And I tell you. The possibilities are limitless!

Starting is hard, but it gets easier over time.

Starting a blog is hard. We know that, for sure. Building a loyal audience takes time, and you must be patient. You can’t expect overnight success, but you can keep improving your blog and working hard at it.

Stick with it if you want to see results—and take a break when you need one! Don’t lose sight of your long-term goals or get discouraged by a lack of traffic or readership right away.

Conclusion

I know it can be hard to start a blog, and even harder to keep it going. But I hope this post has convinced you that you can do it and why doing so is worth the effort. So go ahead—plant your flag in this digital world!
