- HELP!!!! Blogging Freaks Me Out! - October 21, 2010
Doing so means you get exposure to thousands and thousands of other CommentLuv users and your posts get sent out to the massive subscriber list.
Google loves this site and indexes it multiple times per day and posts always get lots of comments so you can be sure of some excellent exposure.

With the gazillion amount of blogs out there, any blogger will fear if he or she might just fail one day. All of a sudden you feel like you’ve lost all your inspiration, you begin to cringe seeing another blog doing much better than yours and you wonder what else you can do apart from hitting the “I QUIT!!!!” button.
As a consequence, hitting that button turns your blog into “internet trash” that serves no purpose but at most a memory of what’s left behind. No… we are not going to get sentimental about this but let’s get serious about how to prevent this from happening.
Why Blog?
By far the most fundamental question you should ask yourself. Why are you blogging? If you are thinking that blogging will make you rich overnight or in a month then you are sadly mistaken. I can assure you that none of this has happened in the history of blogging. If you have a passion to blog particularly on a niche topic then you will find success. To add on, if you like helping others through blogging with your knowledge, that will put you ahead further.
Plan Ahead
What is your blogging plan today? Have you outlined a set of goals to achieve with your blog in 6 months time? Have you chosen the right niche for your blog or are you just blogging about dog training because everyone is blogging about it?
Seek Help
If you are on your way to quit, seek help. Find a membership group. Join them. Yes it might cost you, but don’t you think if you have been having some trouble, you just need a group of experienced bloggers to help you out? Think Jack Humphrey’s BlogSuccess membership or Andrew Rondreau blog coaching program. If you think you need more choices seek out any blog mentor and join their coaching

If you are only hopping from one blog to another, looking for posts to comment on every day without actually reflecting on how that blogger can come out with that topic then you are not doing the right thing either. Yes it is part of networking but you will not learn as much as when you spend time reading from blogs, ebooks, magazines, books etc”¦ you name it.
Break Out
Are you too comfortable in your comfort zones? Are you blogging in that same similar way that you used to 5 months ago? Do you fear that changing your style will drive your visitors away?
Those are all questions that might run through your head when thinking about this.
I’m not asking you to start cursing, rant or whine; although that will get the attention for a short period of time. It is only when you break out you begin to start learning something and who knows propel your blog to greater heights!
Start Commenting
Sometimes the best thing to do is to say something and in this case comment on blogs. It is only then you’ll discover your own voice, your style. Find blogs and don’t just regurgitate what they’ve said on their post. Ask questions, expand and you will not only get attention but learn more from the answers.
Take A Chill Pill
Although I’m a doctor, there’s no such thing as a chill pill. Valium won’t cure you of your blog miseries. Yes, it will make you really drowsy and dopey but it won’t turn you into the “Dr House” of bloggers. What’s my advice? Take a blog sabbatical and you will be surprised ideas will come flowing. Some of you might work better under pressure but for those who don’t time off even for a day can turn things around for you.
If all of this doesn’t pull you out from the dumps, then you must seriously consider if it’s worthwhile continuing on your blogging journey. Blogging may be for everyone but it certainly won’t bring success to everyone.
