3 Common Barriers to Blog Success
For many blog success can be difficult to achieve due to
varying reasons or circumstances. The blog building
process itself is a long and winding road filled with many
ups and downs. Many popular blogs you see on the
internet today did NOT get that way overnight but instead
slowly built a loyal reader base over a period of time.
The fact of the matter is that of all the blogging sites
you may find online today only a small percentage will
be in existence a year from now. What is it that keeps
so many of these sites from the dreams of success they
originally started out with?

Here are 3 of the most common barriers that many blogging
sites succumb to in their quest to establish themselves
online.

Uninspired
As already mentioned above the blog building process can
take quite a bit of time. Without gaining any type of
'gratification' over a period of time many tend to lose their
enthusiasm or the inspiration they felt when they first
started. This results in a decrease in the quality of their
post which then leads to a decrease in their readership.

Unmotivated
Once a bloggers inspiration begins to decline due to their
slow progress so does the motivation necessary to
'adequately' maintain the site itself. Now not only are
post lacking quality but they are also becoming more
infrequent as well.
As difficult as it made be to build a steady flow of returning
traffic it is much easier to lose whatever readers you
may already have.

Unappreciated
With little or no sign of gratification the owners of many
blogging sites understandably will then begin to feel
unappreciated. At this point the feeling of 'what is the
sense' starts to sink in and this demoralizing feeling is
tough to shake. Now the blogger is on the verge of
simply giving up and likely will if the lack of gratification
continues. This is a bad but also natural 'emotional' cycle
many fall into when trying to establish a blog.
Achieving blog success online is something to be proud
Achieving blog success online is something to be proud
of due to the fact that it is a feat not easily accomplished.
The blog building process is a long and challenging one
that can and will test the resolve of even the most
motivated amongst us. Even the most popular blogs
you can find online had to pay their dues in patience,
effort and time before they established themselves.
Although circumstances vary from one blogger to the
next the 3 barriers we discussed here today commonly
faced by every blogger at one time or the other. Ultimately
it is the motivation and perseverance of the individual
that determines the degree of success they will achieve.
Blog building is not a short sprint but rather a long distance
run. If you possess the endurance to continue on you will
likely be one of the minority who cross the finish line.
