We all at one point or the other as bloggers must have been faced with situations when you no longer have the drive to blog again. There are a whole lot of reasons which can actually lead to this ranging from not making money with your blog to hitting writers block.
I’ll like to share with you several ways I overcame or rather revived my lost blogging passion when the urge to call it quite comes into thought.
Now, are you a blogger who is currently in such a situation? Don’t worry, you’ll be out of it soon and continue enjoying blogging raking huge sums into your bank account.
Why Bloggers Loose Passion For Blogging
Firstly, you might want to know what actually makes bloggers loose their passion and below are some of them.
1. Unproductive Blog:
As earlier said, it obviously accounts for about 80% reasons why people hit out of the blogosphere. After you’ve worked sleepless nights, posted articles and promoted them over social media and yet do not tend to see anything come out of it, you are left with no other option than to loose the passion you had for blogging.
I actually put in more interest and my passion to this blog because it’s my major source of earnings, and this has made me loose interest I had on my other blogs.
2. Lack of a Mentor, Motivator or Instructor
When there is no one to tell you what you are doing things right or wrong, when you’ve got no Motivator or Instructor, you definitely would get lost in the blog-o-sphere and this leads to a loss in passion for your blog.
3. Search Engine
This might sound crazy but it’s proven to be true. Most blogger depends on Search Engines as their major source of traffic and in respect neglect other numerous ways to generate traffic to their blog. This leads to engagement in many Black Hat SEO practices that would hunt your blog ranking someday when the Algorithm comes after you.
