😔 It's an opportunity to express yourself and expand in ways you never know you
could and just like starting a business a lot of effort is required you don't become successful in blogging by accident you need to put a lot of intention and work even when you feel like quitting actually especially when you feel like quitting.
Hi everyone I'm Junior Scientist and I “help jobless” people to grow their blogs and work from home here are 14 harsh truths you'll learn in your first year of blogging please take these truths with a grain of salt.
WHY PEOPLE SHOULD NOTICE YOU?
I say this with love number one no one cares about you no one knows who you are and I say this with love you're entering a sea of bloggers in the world where no one knows you. You need to make yourself stand out from others by asking yourself what am I good at what kind of advice do
people go to me for what am i passionate about what can I go hours on and talking about this is an opportunity to create your voice based on your strengths what you're naturally interested in and using that to help people and then people will start noticing number two you will be blogging for months and months.
CHECK OFF KEYWORDS IN “TRENDING” TO “EMBELLISH” THE BLOG
Creating amazing content and not everyone is gonna see it something really important to know is that every time you publish a blog post out it takes 90 days in order for it to rank on
Google and this is if your blog post says SEO friendly or search engine optimized meaning it's searchable on search engines like Google by using certain keywords so don't feel bad if your posts don't immediately get views the moment you put it out into the world.
WRITE UP IS NOT A CUP OF EVERY TEA
it doesn't work that way but what you should do is assess each post 90 days after it's been published that way you know if it's working or not this next one is for travel bloggers number three you will be spending most of your time on your computer or your laptop or your
phone not actually traveling that much a lot of your time will be spent researching destinations writing posts learning how to use creative programs editing photos and videos if you're
putting them out on YouTube designing graphics posting on social media replying to direct messages and emails contacting brands the list is endless number four not everyone has the mindset to be a blogger and you're gonna the harsh truth if you're one of them or not a lot of people think they need to be a good writer to blog or a good photographer or a good filmmaker or
Realize is that these are skills they
will learn as soon as they start blogging what's actually hard is having a mindset to push through and quite honestly eat for a very long time and it's just a matter of really holding on even when you don't feel like it you have to be willing to be clumsy messy and embarrassed when starting something new you can expect yourself to be skillful and graceful right off the bat number five you'll get frustrated by how painstakingly long it is.
To get your first 1,000 subscribers or followers like it could take six months this does vary from platform to platform and it also depends on how much you've made
Your posts optimized for SEO and how
Value you put into it but know that this journey can take a while and the more followers people see that you have the more likely they are to follow you so the more you have the faster you'll grow it's just gonna take a little while to get your first 1,000 actually.
Rename your instagram account to your Blog
Personal Instagram account to blog name so that you didn't really have to
start from zero but this might not be the case for starting your email lists starting your
youtube channel and other followings on Facebook and on Pinterest
SPEND MORE TIME IN CONTENT CREATION INSTEAD OF FOLLOWER GENERATION
You'll be spending more time promoting your content than creating it because if no one's going to see the valuable content you're creating for them why create them in the first place number.
PEOPLE MAY FOLLOW OR UNFOLLOW YOU IF DEPENDING UPON CONTENT, STAY DETERMINED
A lot of followers and also un-followers and that's the nature of growing a following it's never linear your following will go up and then it'll also go down just
remember that when it goes down you're not losing your followers your following
is actually becoming much more loyal and stronger to you and that's much more important than having a larger number of followers who aren't genuinely interested in you so why tag them along in your journey.
FORBADE TO COMPARE YOURSELF TO ANYONE
Comparing yourself to other bloggers and it's especially not fair to you can't compare yourself to someone whose level 70 when you're only level 2 when this happens you might enter a not-so-good place and begin putting yourself down so meet their accounts or stop following them.
FAILURE AND FAILURE IS AN ULTIMATE SUCCESS
One may find many reasons to quit and it's up to you to let those reasons get in the way most of the time we get in the way of our own success as we usually tell ourselves in one version
or another I'm not good enough I'm a disappointment I'm a failure I'm doing everything wrong I'm not special I'm really bad at this I'm ugly I suck I'm unlovable and it's okay to
have these thoughts that's what it means to be a human being and it's natural to go through these motions just to remind yourself that this inside voice is only a voice and this voice is not you and whatever it's saying is not true just remove that butt and toss it outnumber…….
SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCE TO OTHERS SO THAT IT MULTIPLIES
Keep on trying ultimately you might reach success, share your experience with the people you know. An in-experienced person can share the best experience.
SURROUND YOURSELF WITH THE PEOPLE WHO ENCOURAGE YOU'RE IN TIME CONSUMING JOB
you're gonna meet amazing people like you and instantly become friends because
not only do they understand the struggles firsthand but you also helped lift each other up and I'm talking about the community you're building and the connections you're making with the
people in your industry.
You'll be admired for your generosity because you're willing to share your knowledge and experiences for free without asking anything.
CLAIM FOR YOUR DREAM LIFE
Dreamlife is worth jumping through countless Hoops because experiencing yourself as a badass powerful go-getter living the dream is priceless if there's one thing to know is that patience is a key.
