You know there is a lot of reasons that blog publishers fail, but if you look at this image below that was created by Problogger.net which was called How Long Have you Been Blogging it was a survey that ProBlogger did. Anyways you notice that the 0-3 months zone is the highest, think about it. Ask your self why would that zone be the highest?

20.1 percent only claim to blog for 3 months, well probably the majority of this is because a lot of bloggers probably thought they was going to just jump in and make a lot of money from having a blog, but then they realized it was not as easy as what they thought, or I should say they did not think it would required as much work as they had planned. The the thing is a lot of people start off thinking they are going to put a blog up and make a million dollars over night, but the chances of that happening are rare I don’t know of any blog publisher that has put a blog up over night and start generating large amounts of money unless they was very well known or something similar to that. The facts are that it does take time to get your self established then after awhile things will start to come out better. The idea is to stay persistent, from all publishers I have ever talked to they say quality content and persistency is the key and from my experience to I would have to agree.

When publishing on the web keep a mind set of posting content that no one else has. If you can write up content that no one else has and its very educational then your success rate will come sooner. When you write - try to connect it with then inner social networks when I say inner social networks think of some way of connecting with people. This can be hard to do, but then again very simple just keep posting and eventually you’ll start to see the patterns in your head. Its ok to blog about your self cause generally thats what journalism was for, but if your wanting traffic or any thing to that nature connect your self with other publishers and build your brand from there on out, get your image promoted in other minds.

Now if you notice take a look at the 4+ year zone it is at 9.4 percent I’d have to say these publishers are probably on a more of a success rate level, but then again this depends on how serious they took there publishing and how effective they’ve used there skills they’ve learned over time. Honestly believe that success is there for every one as long as they work at it hard enough. The harder you work at things sooner or later they will come back to you. The down falls like I said are people that can’t hang in there and put hours of work in with out making anything or having anything in return so they either get stressed out, discouraged, or mad so it causes them to throw the rag in. When you make such move like this in middle of building an establishment of any type you have just made the silliest mistake unless your someone that just wanted to do something else then thats fine, but if you have a dream always make sure you stick with it and never give in no matter how your feeling.

Some of the most successful people have failed over, over, and over again until they came out looking right. I think for people to succeed they have to fail every once and awhile to learn. I know I have failed at a lot of things in my business, but I kept going at it and now I’m ranking some of the more competitive keywords on the web, so them hours of hard work just came back to me with out me really even knowing it which things are still building like always, but it just takes time so relax :).
