10 Reasons Why You Should Stop Blogging by mokoshalb(m): 4:28am On Aug 19, 2017
Like most things, blogging is not everyone’s cup of tea. The turnover rate in the blogosphere is astounding with bloggers throwing in the towel daily. You may be sarcastically thinking “Yeah! I would love to be one of the quitters!” but just know that you could also be doing something else far more enjoyable to you, personally. To be honest, bloggers are still going to blog. Here are 10 reasons why you should stop blogging.

I would love to be one of the quitters!” but just know that you could also be doing something else far more enjoyable to you, personally. To be honest, bloggers are still going to blog. Here are 15 reasons why you should stop blogging.

1. You Dislike Writing

This seems like a no-brainer, right? You may be surprised to find out many people either write for an audience or write to get rich. If either of these comprises all or part of your motivation, you probably shouldn’t be blogging.

Many successful bloggers will tell you the only person worth writing for is yourself. Simply put, if you don’t like it, don’t spend the majority of your time doing it. Additionally, if you also don’t like writing often, you can always outsource. If you think you have a bad writing motive, you can check out my list to improve your writing skills here.

2. You Don’t Like Interaction

Blogging appeals to many under the premise of an average person making a living writing about what they love. Average people like to feel part of a community and intermingle with others in it. Part of what makes someone a successful blogger is a frequent interaction with readers. If you don’t want to talk to people, write a book instead.

3. You Can’t Make the Time

Blogging is a time intensive practice. Many hours have to be put in behind the keyboard to ensure your success. If you want to be good at it, you have to get off your ass and do it a lot.

4. You’ve Run Out of Ideas

Ideas may have come easy when you first started but, unfortunately, the idea well can dry up. A successful blog keeps things interesting by introducing new, exciting topics for readers to salivate over.

Think of a newspaper, for instance. If there wasn’t new content each day, a news publication wouldn’t have readers. We live in a high stimulus world. New and interesting content is important.

5. You Have Yet to Secure a Reader Base

A reader base is a key to monetizing your blog successfully. Granted, it takes some time to establish a base readership, but if you have been active for six months to a year without gaining a substantial following, you are doing something wrong.

6. Your Skin is Thin

What does blogging have to do with skin? Bloggers get to face all sorts of indiscriminate abuse. Anonymity provides people with a mask and gives them the balls to hurl insults without any social – or physical – repercussion.

A bloggers skin should be hard as a rhino’s, not thin like Donald Trump’s. If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen.

7. Bored

If you’re bored with blogging, your readers can tell. There is nobody less enjoyable to listen to than a boring person. Boredom is like the flu – when you open your mouth, it instantly infects everyone around you. Bored? Then call it.

8. You Aren’t Getting any Money

I said before that blogging isn’t about money. Here is the exception to the rule. If you want to be a full-time blogger, you need income. The money will help you separate yourself from the endless sea of bloggers through buying traffic and exposure. Furthermore, living costs money. Spending the majority of your time doing something while accruing no money for it isn’t the best idea.

9. Your Target Market is Overly Saturated

You may have chosen a market that already hosts a lot of players. If so, your chances of penetrating and beating out the established players is minimal. It is possible but it will take some serious effort and wizardry. Most likely more than you may be willing to put in.

10. You Don’t Like Visuals in Posts

Visuals will draw in your readers like a light does to a moth. Good photos are eye catching and will help bring in business. If you are blasphemous and don’t care for photography or even infographics, your posts will suffer tremendously. Photographers and design artists need money too.

In brief, successful blogging has a lot of components and it can be extremely difficult to have them all. If you have found you shouldn’t be writing blog posts anymore, don’t despair. The vast majority of the world doesn’t blog and they seem alright.

Funny to say the least, while some bloggers earn loads of cash while disliking blogging, some others just do so for the love of it. The way life is, really!

You need to like writing, really. If not then, you can get more people on board to write for you. You make the money don't you? Leverage that to make more money!

On promotion: the difference between every rich and broke blogger out there - according to the Entrepreneur, is promotion and advertising. So keep at it. You will smile greatly soon!

Real bloggers are not the ones creating sites on entertainment news. No market research, No keyword research, No search engine optimization, No competition research, you just create a blog and start posting random entertainment/event news. I don't see these set of people as bloggers. Blogging is all about carving a specific niche for yourself and become an authority. It is not hard, just need patience.

That aspect of writing is so on point. Every dick and Tom wants to make money by copying and pasting, without trying to sit their ass down to write. How then will you make it? I'm not talking about these gossip bloggers, I mean, those bloggers who are in niches that will warrant dishing out sumptuous contents daily, instead, they will come to my blog and copy. I will keep reporting them to Google DCMA if they refuse to change.

Blogging is about passion. Forget about the monetary reward and focus on impact. My cent.

I shouldn't blog because I'm a believer of MORE? I'm a capitalist investor and a writer and decide to fish out business ideas for the populace. How bad is that? That doesn't stop me from delving into enlightenment bro. grin

If there's anyway I can solve a problem, I do that. If you have any spiritual or economical issue, i'm here to guide. My other Monika have my blog as its signature. So, not hiding anything bro.
