Why You Should Stop Blogging?
Are you a blogger? If you are in one of these situations, perhaps it’s time to consider stop blogging, or at least adjust how you do it:
- You do not know why you are blogging.
- You do not know what to blog about.
- You do not know who your target readers are.
- You do not know what you can offer to readers.
- You do not feel happy and at peace blogging
- You blog because others do, or others asked you to.
- Your blog is just a copycat of another more established blog.
- Your blog is not serving what you intend to achieve.
- Your blog conversion rate is too low.
- Very few people read or subscribe to your blog.
- You find blogging eat up too much of your time and energy.
- You find blogging become more important than other things in life such as your job and relationships.
- You find blogging working against your life objectives!
- Do you have anything else to add? Please feel free.
Actually this is a checklist for myself. I started blogging since years ago on Google’s Blogspot. Since then, I have stopped and restarted a few blogs.
During my previous blogs, I could easily answer yes to many items in above checklist. When one blog was not working, it’s time to take a hard look!
At last, I settled down with this blog since April 2008 and it’s been one year plus now. Hopefully it will stay long this time
