I Revived This Blog After 3 Years: Life And Blogging Lessons

Some years back, I launched this blog. 3 years later, I shut it down—because I had to.

Irrespective of my intense passion for blogging and all the resounding noise about how ‘it makes money,’ all was flop.

Truth be told, it was a mistake when I think blogging without writing is a good shot. Going ahead to hiring ‘few’ writers off the penny in my pocket just sucks too.

Till date, I still attribute all related disasters to the level of those jobs. Once again, they weren't so proficient, writing me nothing but craps.

Additionally, they want to survive — sustain. Just like a roaring lion seeking a prey to devour, they were desperate to earn a living.

Eventually, I shut down this blog.

Behind The Scene:When I received enough testimonials from oldies about how much their blog makes, deals they've sealed through their blogs and other related 'bling-blings,' I decided to raise it up — once again.

One of words fired into my head was:
“You can never be an impacting blogger if you aren't communicating (writing) your audience.”
This sounds sceptical? Yes, especially when you see big blogs with 'hordes' of writers in their circles.

The logic is somewhat simple. “They aren't only good writers, but have established sound rapport with their audience — at least, that's what they receive reward/get paid for.” You hear about a writer at copyblogger, another at smartblogger and yet another one at Searchengineland.

From my personal blogging fad to the failure, here is the story.

1.Everyday is the right day to start:

At first, I wanted to be consistent; posting uplifting and mind blowing contents on a regular basis. But it wasn't easy. Consistency wouldn't just be consistent, not for a second. Circumstances always interfere.

During those times, I was forced to read through profiles of successful and popular bloggers which took most of them reasonable chunks of time to get noticed. This impressed upon me that good things do not comes easy.

But now, I have left all obstacles behind — at least to a reasonable degree. Seeing blogging as a passion now makes me happy.

2.It equips me as a better writer:

If you can't get things in pieces and in an acceptable way even to your dumbest relative, what did you expect a reader to do? Probably, they'll zoom off your blog and find a better one.

On the other side of the coin, blogging helps in talent discovery. It awaken the genius in you — widening your thinking faculty and power of reason. You perceive writing better contents and this compels you to read and acquire more weapons into your writing arsenal. Thus, fulfill your writing dreams.

My case was exact. I read, research, analyze and draw logical, reasonable conclusions everyday — just to add more to my knowledge base.

3.Share ideas:

My primary aim: "Share and deliver what is working." But I need a channel. Blogging, indeed for me is a way to give back to the society the little 'up the stairs.' This makes me do whatever it takes to sharing useful contents not only on a timely basis but also of great value.

4.You learn more:

As a blogger, you are a teacher.

Believe it or not, coming back to your blog would be the last thing someone wants to do if their initial experience was full of awful design and contents.

With that, I learned (never ending) how to put on many hats like: Design, Seo, Marketing, and instills these skills in others. Truthfully, blogging equips to becoming a better teacher.

Finally

5.You are blogger:

Sweet to say, isn't it?

We all love to be admired. Especially by our profession. At first, when weblog evolved, many perceived it as a fad that will soon disappear — not a profession. But the demonstration of things now confirms blogging not as a fad but a modern tradition.

It's closing.

Yes, this post is coming an end. Worry not, I have plenty of other posts that inspires and propels.
