So now you have 15 reasons why
you ought to begin an online journal, and we've demonstrated to you proper
methodologies to begin a site, regulated, in light of our own experience, yet
in the wake of giving you those nitty gritty guidelines—which could actually
spare you the several hours of squandered time—we likewise need to give you
some great reasons why you ought not begin a website. (Remember that these
reasons are only our conclusions, and we don't profess to offer them up as some
kind of accumulation of exact blogging proverbs.)
1. Cash. You ought not begin a web
journal to profit. We have to get that off the beaten path first. In the event
that your essential goal is to supplant your full-time wage from blogging,
forget about it. It doesn't work that way. Do you believe that Jimi Hendrix got
his first guitar so he could "supplement his salary"? No, he didn't.
Or maybe, he did it for the love of it, for the delight and satisfaction he
got, and the salary came from that point, much later really.
2. Reputation. Try not to anticipate
getting "Web well known" immediately. Not each site develops as quick
as our own did, yet that is absolutely OK. Actually we sort of got fortunate.
We got an incredible space name, some way or another cobbled together a logo
and site plan that individuals truly enjoyed, we compose genuinely well, and
our substance interfaces with individuals extraordinarily. We didn't begin this
site to wind up "well known" however. That'd be absurd. Our
reputation and snappy ascent to "popularity," so to speak, came as an
amazement to us, and was an aftereffect of a little fortunes and a ton of hard,
enthusiastic work.
3. Traffic. Not all activity is
great movement (as we clarified here), so don't stress over getting a great
many perusers immediately.
The clever thing is that every
one of these things can happen. You could make a full-time salary off of your
online journal; we do it, Corbett Barr does it, thus do numerous others. What's
more, you could get to be Internet acclaimed like Leo Babauta or Chris Brogan.
Be that as it may, if these are the sole reasons why you blog, you'll hopeless,
on the grounds that it will appear like an occupation, and in the event that it
feels like an occupation you won't be enthusiastic about it, thus you'll either
(a) disdain it, (b) fall level all over, or (c) abhor it and fall level all
over.
Rather, compose in light of the
fact that you're energetic about it…
