Did you know that there are over 70 million blogs on the internet. Most people start a blog for two reasons, they want to voice their opinion and they want to use the blog to make money. There is no doubt that blogging is an exceptional way for you to create your presence on the internet and become a force to be reckoned with, if you go about it correctly.
Believe it or not, there is a correct way to blog, see there is a psychology to it, so to speak. You have to be able to roll with what the internet world is going to throw at you, in other words, be prepared for the ups and downs. Your success is dependent upon your longevity. I want to make sure you succeed, so to help you I am going to give you priceless advice that will help your blog and create the presence you are after.
First and foremost, you have to be patient. Understand that the ranking systems such as Google and Alexa are not going to rank your blog on day one, and they aren't going to index you each and everyday from the get go. That is unless you have the bank roll to back up the blog so that you can advertise like crazy. Guess what? , most of us do not have the cash to do that! So you are in the same boat as 90% of the other bloggers out there.
The second tip is to let go of the need to be perfect. Perfectionism is the number one killer of blogs. You are going to look back at your first posts a year from now and roll your eyes! You may think now that they are very insightful and witty, great! publish them. Once you reread them a year from now, you can edit if you want. Understand that the key to fliiping the switch on the computer so that your blog makes money has less to do with being perfect and more to do with being seen! Few people out there can identify with being perfect.
Next you are going to want to embrace your failures. This is important, the only way to learn from your mistakes and imporve is to make mistakes. You are going to mess up, we all do!, the difference is that you have to seize that opportunity as a tool and use it to imporve what you are doing.
The fifth tip that I am going to offer you is to get a thick skin, and the sooner you do that the better. Face the fact right now that you are not going to make every person out there happy with what you have to say. Not everyone going to agree with you, and not everyone is going to be nice about it. Also understand that the more successful you get the more you are going to have people try and knock you down. Think of yourself as Mt Everest, no matter what anyone does to Mt Everest it does not fall. When people are trying to knock you down they are doing so because you are there. It isn't really personal against you it is more envy on their part.
Finally stay focused. Don't forget why you started your blog. While your goals may change, your opinion may change, why you went into blogging will not. It was to create online presence, brand your name, make money, help and educate people. Follow these simple steps and you and your blog will be successful!
