blogging facts-mixed

Hello to all!
Blogging. Yeah, I know, it is everywhere and about everything under the sun.  But are we finally getting the message that we can use blogs to link all our online activities together and get them known this way? Many of us squander this FREE and readily available opportunity to become better known in cyber space.

Is it because, after going to the trouble of setting the thing up, we run out of steam and therefore revert to the safety of using it for nothing-in-particular? So many of us do this, and I wonder why. Oh, we make plans to do lots of things with our blog: get a business up and running, make a lot of money etc, etc. But we don't keep focused on it. There are so many distractions which MAY make us richer faster.

I know: There has got to be a magic bullet out there, which is going to do it for me. So I will keep looking for it, spending money I don't have, and throw away the potential goldmine I have already have in my hands. This type of thinking is WHY something like about 90% of wannabe online marketers fail before they celebrate their first year online.

I really hate to rub it in, but Aladdin's magic lamp and genii have been lost somewhere and are not to be found.  However, his 5th removed cousin, WORK is always close by and delighted to help. Why have we developed into a race of people who look for the easy way every time? There is never an easy time in business, unless you have been carried into the boardroom as an infant, and learned by osmosis, then it may be. But you still have to put some effort into it, no matter what.

It is almost impossible to be a success at anything, unless you do use some focus and a little work continuously. After all, you/me put hours into getting the site just right, populating it with what you are advertising, the right content linked to it, etc. And then you sit back and do nothing? I don't care who says they earn X amount of dollars sleeping until 12MD every day, living the high life and never checking their sites from one week to the  next. It just DOES NOT happen that way. And that includes blogging.

Some blogs just fold up and die. That is a horrible fact, but it is true. The reasons for their demise are usually because their owners lose focus, and direction. In this case, cremate it, grieve for a bit, and then resurrect it. Not exactly the way it was born, but with some similarities. But, this time, for goodness sakes, take some time and see where you plan it to go before you put finger to keys.

Otherwise, you are doomed to failure each time you resurrect.
