There is total frustration in this revered field of illusion
called blogging. I want to surmise on my blog so far. The blog stats are
deplorable. Writing like a wordsmith using words that are indeed sentimental
and more so invigorating as opposed to enervating has become so big a
challenge, I am at times more lethargic as opposed to being vivacious.
Sometimes you just find it very boring to sit down in order to pen an article, or you become tired even before the best thought process that you had becomes conceived into something that is very substantial.
In fact, I should have quit this shit long ago when I realized I was headed nowhere. But there is that motivation from somewhere that keeps on urging me to stay put, I don’t know where it comes from. Surmise to say, it could be the personal initiative I have taken. Or maybe the commitment and determination to hone my skills and maybe take them to another level as opposed to getting stuck in a rut and having nowhere to seek solace from.
What I know is however more fulfilling, knowledge of the fact that there are so many people who are struggling to take the first step to assert themselves in what they want to do in life which is an indication that I have taken the road less travelled.
Blogging is a very frustrating venture in the long run or even the short term. There seems to be that force that is holding you back that never will let you break even. There is something in life that is very essential in life. Whenever you communicate, you expect feedback. When it is not forthcoming, you become very sordid. This effectively comes in form of commenting to a post. It should be done in a subtle manner devoid of spewing invectives and full of cogent incentive to the writer to continue with the craft. Criticizing the content and seldom committing the fallacy of ad hominen should be a strongpoint on a reader.
Ideally, most readers usually never know what they want. Even if they know what they want, they have to be aptly persuaded that whatever they are being offered is indeed good for their consumption. That means one has to be on a continuum know of what to provide to those who need what they are being provided with.
There are some forms of blog marketing
that have worked for some people. Owning a blog has become the in thing. If you
are not writing then you are probably left out. But that is not true. Majority
of people know how to write. The only setback that hinders there aspiration is
the time factor, ability to sacrifice and to withstand the storm of being
berated and never given the due encouragement even when things are not rosy.
The process of communication is very complex.
One must sacrifice some luxuries and indeed time in order to spend that time penning content they will never get bored in taking to the next level even when the going gets tough. Why? There is never any motivation that comes from blogging. There is no pay at all lest you have the requisite audience that provides a mass market for advertising. Again, holding on to that market is the tricky part because most of it easily get debilitated when you frequency of posting is either getting into their nerves or too slow to get the desired impact that they really needed.
However, even though there is nothing to smile about. Holistically, it makes one to think in 3D. Thinking and relaying the thought process into words is sometimes an intricate process that has to be mustered in various ways only known to the author.
