Reasons Why You Should Not Go Into Blogging And Vlogging As A Business In 2020 by MrSurd: 12:34pm On Jul 31, 2020
So many bloggers have failed recently especially the new bloggers between 2019 to 2020. Blogging this days is not longer a business venture on less you have other plan of making money outside AdSense and affiliate marketing.

The hardest part of blogging is getting traffic and ranking high in search engines, with millions of blog this days, they is no more room for a new niche, all articles have already been covered by blogs daily.

News blogs are every where, Education blogs are every where, Tech blogs are every where etc.

Google won't approve your Adsense : google is not longer approving AdSense account for new bloggers especially this year 2020. Most people are already frustrated and left

Don't be deceived by Linda ikeji and others: Linda and others started at the time when blogging was not known in Nigeria hence their great success, most popular blogs have been existing for long now.

You can't compete with the big ones: They is no way you can compete with the big ones, only few people will leave punch online, vanguard, instablog, Linda ikeji blog, Bellanaija, Naijaloaded, tooxclusive, ogbonjeblog, techloy, 9jaflaver etc to visit your small new blog on less you want to only be sharing links on NL and Facebook.

People hardly visit blogs this days: since the advent of opera news, only few Nigerians visit new blogs, most average Nigerians visit the big names, online news papers and opera news. Facebook, Instagram and twitter have made it easy to get information without visiting blog, all news and information are posted in Facebook pages and groups.

Other ad network doesn't pay well: Outside AdSense which is very hard to get approval, other ads network pay little or nothing compared to the amount of data you will waste blogging

You may never get back the money you will spend on hosting and domain: You may loss the money you have spent on domain and hosting and even loss data a lot.

You can never beat the big names in SEO: how do you expect to beat naijaloaded, 9jaflaver, 360nobs, Tooxclusive in SEO google ranking top page in music download niche, the answer is hell no.

Custom ads is not possible: how do you expect to get direct advertisers and promotion seekers in your new blog with little or no unique daily visits and visitors.

Lot more things to say but blogging is not what you think, invest your time and money in physical business, blogging have changed since 2017-2018

Don't mind the grammatical mistakes if they is any, am typing with mobile device and autocorrect and mistakes are banned to happen but I don't have the time to review and correct. Just read and accept the advice, this is not an official article but an advice

Are you discouraging the younger bloggers or what?? Those offline business you suggest them to do is there no one doing it? OK what do you want to say to those who will be opening their blog in 2030 There is no time to start something just begin your journey at the right and best appropriate time..

Op said the truth, but people won't believe. That's why most webmasters here on nairaland advertise e-commerce website more than blogs.

It's better you have something you're selling than making money for Google AdSense without AdSense making money for you.

Blogging in any form is frustration. For a start the condition for monetizing has changed. Secondly, the amount you would receive as a Nigerian blogger is not the same a person who resides in Europe would receive for the same number of traffic and niche. Traffic is another bane. I watched Tayo Alina's video about how much he makes. It was abysmal. It not enough to even cover his expenses per month.


Though if you could persevere, other sources could surface. Going into blogging full time now is one of the 1000 ways to die.

People are still making it.

AdSense is a difficult thing to come by.

You don't need to be at the top.

Make your brand known to people either in social media or any form.

If one should go into blogging with the aim of making money, h will be faustrated.

People have problem, so they go to search engine to find solutions.

If you have the solutions, write it as an article insert a product link, they will buy.

You don't need to wait for traffic to come.

Go out inform about your article.

Find people who are interested in your article.

Create a product that they can not refuse.

Use it to create an email list.

Email list are potential buyers.

The mistake most bloggers do is creating and email list or list building.

Due to Google core update, it has make people feel that blogging it's difficult.

There reason for those update its because of the black hat seo people are doing in other bypass Google.

So always check for new update from Google.

Have it in mind that, people can tell the difference between selling and helping.

So if you come with the motive of helping, you will make it.

People want values and not selling.

So people hire my to write blog article for them.

It's because they read my content and like it.

Have in mind that tin content (500 - 800 words) won't help you.

Google screen or trash out tin content.

Content like 1000 - 1500 words or 1500 words is recommended.

But long form content like 2000+ words beat the market.

They view it as reliable content.

Every topic in blogging world is been repeating itself.

They have read it.

But want something they have not read or something new or a new version of what they read once.

Popular bloggers know that things had changed, so they have to follow the new system.

Like Brain Dean of backlinko said that what make to because the top and beat his competitors in link building is that;

He did not follow what everyone follows.

He use a different approach and see what work for him.

Another blogger explain how he was able to pull lot of traffic from social media.

He stop posting his article.

He chooses a method of posting in his social media which is;

20% post come from sharing his blog post
10% post come from sharing his affiliate review post
70% post come from sharing other people's blog post

I have try it and it work.

Blogging need patient and knowing, finding and following the right part.
