Lacking Blogging Discipline
Can people actually make tons of money out of blogging? I have been blogging for about 3 years now and I think what I have earned in total is probably just enough to buy me a few nice dinners. That’s about it!
But sometimes, I hear of people making thousands every month by just blogging. Amazing! I wonder how hard these people actually need to put in to earn that much a month. I’m sure to them it’s must be like a full-time job. After all, if you just blog for fun just like me, the income doesn’t really come to much. Unless of course, I’m not doing things right or don’t bother to.
The thing I find so hard about blogging or making money online is the discipline. Even this blog, I have turned kind of lazy updating it. So, I don’t think I can maintain a blog until it turns profitable and attracting hordes of traffic. Furthermore, to make money with a blog, you need to attract the right kind of traffic by offering valuable content. If I’m already lazy updating a personal blog like this one, I don’t think I can be disciplined enough to update a serious blog with valuable information to offer to readers. I guess it’s just not me!
Anyway, I think blogging is fun, but only in the beginning, when things are still exciting and new. When you start a new blog, the hopes and excitement are automatically there. But once the blog starts running, I find that the boredom will set in after a while. Maybe it’s only me since I don’t know how to make much from blogging. Maybe if I earn a ton of money, I would be feeling differently. Then, I would probably tell you that blogging is the most exciting thing to do in the whole wide world!
