Better Blogging - Dealing with Frustration, Results and Depression
As a network blogger, I know just how hard it is to get a blog up and running up to the point where it actually makes some money. Along the way to that money blogging state, there are going to be alot of hurdles mostly mental blocks and problems that you have to deal with, here are my experiences and some solutions.
Frustration
Getting a blog to finally make money has to be the hardest part in blogging, the frustration that comes along with it is really extreme because the work that you are putting in, you want top dollar for it and the common advertiser will not pay that, most people look for the responsiveness towards the niche before buying ads on the blog. This has alot to do with your RSS readers and traffic to not the blog’s homepage but the inner posts.
This kind of frustration of feeling helpless infront of advertisers usually leads to bloggers selling quality links to underground scum link buyers that buy up in context links for 6 years at a really really small price and in return they get something worth alot more because every blog on the net that is being targeted for links is quality, if it wasn’t then linkbuyers won’t contact you in the first place.
It’s always to get a 2nd opinion from a friend or a constant reader so that you would know if theres something that you are doing wrong. The most important things to remember in this state are:
- Never sell out to underground link buyers.
- Make sure your price is reasonable according to the market rate
- Never to panic in that state
- Know when to raise the price and when to go down in order to have a long term customer.
