Seven Reasons Why Your Blog is Failing

I’ve lived in the concrete jungle for quite some time now (NYC). And I’ve heard every story in the book. Everyone’s a novelist, writer, actor, or up and coming entrepreneur. Everyone seems to have a side hustle, but they seem to be going nowhere fast. When it comes to business, Rupaul said it right. “You better work.” That doesn’t mean going out and getting platform shoes and squeezing your wide ass into a pair of spanks. It means getting down to business and understanding the real reason why your blog is failing. I’ve listed seven, just to name a few.

1 You are superficial.

You buy Facebook likes and Twitter fans. You fudge your numbers. And you hire an immigrant with English as a second language to write your seven-dollar articles and blog post. Hey! Pimpin aint easy. But if you’re going to pimp out your blog, be sure that you make a little bit of money off of it.

2 You buy every tool and program on the market.

But like a child on Christmas, you realized that playing with the wrappings was more exciting than the actual product.

3 You are always changing shifts

You are always passing the ball, coming up with a better and bigger way to do things before your first idea was set and proven. Come up with one idea and stick with it!

4 You fail to get serious about your work.

You need to stop dabbling and get serious about your work. If you need motivation, just imagine yourself working in some third world sweatshop, with a mean little boss with bad oral hygiene breathing down your neck. Just understand that if your business fails, this is the kind of work environment you may have to go into.

5 You quit after six months.

Okay, it takes a baby a full nine months to be born. Not to mention that the mother is in serious pain for hours while trying to push that bad boy out. So think of your blog like a baby. You need to carry it for at least nine months. Then, you have to go through the pains of giving birth. Then, you have to nurture and raise that child into adulthood. And even then, the damn child is not out of your hair. Treat your business like a baby. Get serious and understand that it is a life long commitment.

6 You don’t commit to mastery.

So many people become complacent. I really can’t stand it when people say that they are going to wait to see what happens. This kind of attitude is like slowing down or completely stopping during a speed race. It will only be a matter of time before your competitors pass you by. You create your life, and when you are reactive and not proactive, you allow others to dominate your business and your profits.

7 You loose steam.

Having your own blog is just like being in a long-term relationship. Once the spice and the romance dies, there will be a lot of days when you’re just not in the mood. This is your time to learn a new trade, to add a new product, to meet new business associates, or to embark on a totally different endeavor. Many blogs fail because they simply refuse to grow.

Do you really want to know the main reason why your blog is failing?

Your blog is failing because you need a mind shift. If you had a dollar for every toxic thought that ran through your head, you would be a millionaire. We are all weighed down with negativity. You will need some positive affirmation to lighten up, shift your mindset and put you into the money-making mood. You may never receive one million page views, but at least you can be happy while creating a profitable blog that you love.
