My mood would go up or down based on the numbers. At that moment I realized what I was doing. I was no longer writing because I loved to do it, I was writing for numbers. My readers were no longer readers but a number to me.

I don’t know if I will get anymore traffic as a result, but at least to me, it means something. Even if nobody reads it. At least I put myself on the line like this.

I’ve noticed that having a balance of different things to write about in your particular niche is most important. I write about Administrative Assistant tips and mixing it up seems to keep my readers on the edge of their chairs.

At times, I try to write “series”, but mixing it up seems to work the best for me.

Thanks,

Promotion takes a lot of effort and it is frustrating to know that the returns are low after trying so hard to make your best post.

I realized that social bookmarking sties are not for me so I switched to forum posting, and it is now starting to pay off.

I think the perfect keyword bloggers should realize is patience while finding the right place for you.

I started out with kind of a “pet peeve” session but am working on moving more towards a motivating – feel good blog. I already like to write more with the new theme. I will still have my pet peeve category though! I do have a few!

I was waiting to start my other blog after my first one picked up but after the ‘advice’ I realised “What the hec ‘em I waiting for!” So now I have two blogs – dancetank.com & mylittlenorway.com (shameless advertisement, I know ;-)

The lesson: don’t get stuck in one mindset, be open to all possibilities of where your blogging might take you.

I don’t deny it can be a valuable tool, but I’d definitely recommend folks apply the 80/20 principle to whatever they’re doing. Figure out what small percentage of your social media work is bringing in the majority of your traffic, and focus on that in the future. Don’t waste a lot of time trying out everything and just hoping something will stick.

My defining moment was when I realized I wanted to do more than write about consumer products and collect advertising money. I enjoy that, and I love that advertising money, but I realized that to feel complete, I really wanted to share what I’ve learned with others, hence the creation of my latest blog (sig. link). Already, this is more spiritually fulfilling for me (even if I’m not making any money with it, hah).

Thanks again for the thoughtful post!

Yeah, that’s a simple tip. But you are being to easy to say “yet it is amazing how many of us become distracted from this truth”.

I will argue that while it is undeniably a simple tip, it not as a simple thing to do. “Write For People” is an art too which is surely to be cultivated by all. But surely not everyone can be an artist..

It takes months and years to build up a faithful audience, but only a relatively few posts to lose them. My burning interests of this week will be replaced with something else next week. If my posts follow these whims, my blog will be unfocused and will lose my audience promptly.

I’m always having to remind myself of my core passion, the one that caused me to start my blog in the first place. Building and maintaining your readership through quality posts is the way to go in the long run.

But when times goes by i realize that this is the hardest work that i ever do in my life….

Focus is the thing that’s always bothering me, internet is the world without borders, you can surf anything on it….

Now I’m learning how to focus on blogging and sharing all the things that i know about blogging and how to earn money online….

Sharing is the best thing in this world….

Thank You..
