Will I Make It As A Blogger? Or Is It Up To Me.

This is one of the big questions I get from people starting an online blog or website, I was going to say blogging business, but the thing is many people who start an online blog are not even close to having an online business and that is just a fact.

There are many reasons for this I go into more details about this in my Free Video Training Course .

The subject of this post today is about whether you or anyone else will make it as a blogger, so we better jump right to that topic.

The first thing is we need to define the words make it as a blogger, generally to make it in something implies that you are having success or doing well in it.

 

So there are quite a few things we could and should clear up before going any further, firstly we need to define the words to make it as a blogger.

  43. ETC ETC ETC……

Okay so once you decide what being successful or making it as a blogger means for you then you can start looking at the results you start having and see if they meet up to your expectations or goals. 

For me, some of the things that were important were being able to spend lots of time with my kids and get to see them grow up.

To be able to drive them to school every day and pick them up afterward.

To be able to build multiple income streams that come in regularly whether I work or not. 

To able to drive the Mercedes I want

To able to buy a 9 seater VW Transporter so I can take my family on nice drives and holidays

To able to have my own private workspace/office

For my family to be able to live in a nice location

To be able to get large commissions that most people work months or years for in a job. 

To able to buy the health equipment and food we need, Vitamix, juicer, Kangen Machine, organic fruit and vegetables.

To be able to take off work whenever I want. 

To be able to do something I really enjoy doing and get paid for it as well.

These are some of the things which I wanted, which have helped me realize whether I am achieving my goals or not. 

 

Okay let’s get back to the main question, will I make it as a blogger?  The thing is a huge percentage over 90% actually fail at blogging, yes only 10% of them make it. 

 

Before you get discouraged though let me tell you most of these bloggers never even get their first 5 blog posts done, yes many of them cannot even remember how to log in and post content on their blog 2 weeks after starting it.

 

In order to be in the percentage that succeeds here are the big things that will help get you into that bracket.

  1. Some guidance from someone who already blogs successfully online
  2. Create your first 50 blog posts on your website or blog
  3. Learn about all the different CTA’s that a blogger should make in their posts
  4. Learn how to do advertising or affiliate marketing on your blog or website
  5. Learn how to build your mailing list and setup autoresponder messages to send to your mailing list.
  6. Learn how to sell products and services on your blog or website.
  7. Buy the most important tools you need to set up your online business like hosting, a domain name, an autoresponder and a shopping cart
  8. Take payments on your website, a website or blog with no payment system is like a car with no engine or a Yacht with no sails, it’s not going to get you anywhere. 
  9. Learn what products and or services will help your readers solve their problems and answer their questions
  10. Learn to create capture pages and sales funnels using various lead capture page software
  11. Learn how to syndicate your blog content using all the social networks, forums or you could use paid advertising
  12. Spend about 40% of your time creating great content and the other 60% of your time syndicating and marketing the content.

If you can read your target audiences mind and do these other things then you are nearly there

 Whatever you do never quit, you can change your brand, change your writing style, change the products and services you offer, change your domain name but whatever you do don’t quit.

In my opinion, quitting or not starting or continuing to take action are the only way to really fail in this business.
