Four Points to Guilt-Free Blogging

Every blogger thriving in the blogosphere have different reasons why they
started off blogging. Some are motivated by the desire to express
themselves and their thoughts freely which of course was the main reason
how it all began as a personal journal while others are after the monetary
reward they can get out of it. Over the years, blogging has evolved and is
currently evolving with the advent of microblogging, blogging platforms,
and applications that cater to blogging. While are there many successful
bloggers who made a name for themselves and some even had the luck of
monetizing their blog to gain substantial income, many struggle to find
their niche and satisfaction for their efforts resulting to frustration or
worse having their blog abandoned. Maintaining a blog requires a lot of
passion. It is impossible to sustain a blog when you have run out of ideas
or had loosened the drive.

Whether you want to be an authority blogger on your chosen niche, a popular
blogger, or a hobby blogger, the ultimate question to ask is…Are you
happy with blogging? Blogging gurus can deliberately provide substantial
information about blogging but everything will always go down to the very
bottom of each individual’s purpose. Whatever purpose it may be, the Four
Points to Guilt-Free Blogging will guide you in making a decision
(especially if you’re new to blogging) and hopefully these simple
thoughts to ponder can help you achieve a guilt-free blogging experience.

1. Ask yourself. Do you blog for money or do you blog as a hobby? Defining
your purpose will spell out the difference between failure and success. You
are to define the kind of blogger you will become in the long run.
2. Choose your niche or topic to your liking. Nothing can be more
satisfying than writing about things you love and are close to your heart
or may be something that you’re simply good at.
3. Choose a blogging platform you’re comfortable with. It doesn’t
matter whether you’re using Blogger, WordPress or Typepad, what’s
important is the ease of use and if it caters to your requirements. Don’t
pretend to be tech savvy when you’re not because this will just make you
feel uncomfortable.
4. Set your own rules. Consider your blog as your house. Readers and
commenters are your guests so they should obey by the rules. There is no
wrong in moderating comments. Like everyone else, nobody would accept a
visitor who’s throwing nasty remarks at you. I’m sure; you’ll get rid
of that person right away. It’s the same as your blog and if people
can’t live with that, that’s not your problem. You don’t have to
please everyone unless you’re into marketing then it’s worth the try.

There are so many salient points to come up with on this topic but I find
all these four very common. Blogging doesn’t have to be job or a task
that compels you to do so just because you have to. It should be a fun
filled and rewarding experience that no material things can buy.

Another tip I’d like to share is “Not too many guest posts in a row.”

Whenever newsworthy items come into play, the Blog’s owner should come out and post one of his/her own colorful ramblings.

Too Many Cooks- Spoils The Broth!!!

that old adage couldn’t be more true when it comes to blogs.

Notice that even I have not posted as many comments recently. That is because all of the wasted opportunities: no posts about Ed McMahon, Farah Fawcett, Michael Jackson (big opportunity blown there), and even the obnoxious pitchman Billy Mays!

C’mon John……..this is YOUR blog…..keep us entertained dammit! LOL

I think the first thing you must to do before blogging is asking yourself why you want to blog? After that you can start findout what is your blog’s niche, and then you can start posting and the next step is promoting your blog. If you get a valuable traffic everyday then your are successful.

I like the idea that there is no wrong in moderating comments. Everyone has a specific feel, vibe, theme that they like their blog to follow, and if a comment disrupts that, it shouldn’t be allowed on the site. Everything is up to the blogger, as it is the blogger that creates the environment and has control of what goes into it and what needs to come out. Great post!
