Stress is bad for blogging!
Don’t kill yourself and your blog
Many of us are victims of stress. Stress is common among all working class people, regardless of age or sex. This is one reason why stress is prevalent everywhere in the world.
Medically speaking stress is bad for your health, i.e it can give severe damage to your brain or nervous system, no i am not a doctor but i can safely say stress is bad for health. And if that wasn’t enough stressing out in our day to day life is extremely easy! Yes you can get free stress and it is so contagious that any fool or stupidity of others can be the reason for your stress.
But leave all that aside and lets come to the point i want to share with you all, “blogging while stressed“.
99% of people fail at making money online
The reason?
99% of them are desperate, but what that has to do with stress? Quite simple, countless number of people are trying to make some extra cash online, while some dream of becoming over night millionaires. When we are desperate, we do whatever we can in order to try and get what we want. But hitting your heads on the wall or your legs on the floor won’t get you nowhere. Which is what 99% of us are doing.
Where is the creativity? The originality? Where is the passion? All i see is people trying to rip each other off. One person trying to copy the success of another or just simply doing what others ask you to. But even still you fail at making money online!
The more you fail, the more you are stressed
It comes to a point that you keep failing one trick after another, one method after another. All this leads to stress, or to be more specific ‘Information overload!’. What can you do after that? 99% of us will most likely quit. The left 1% will keep trying.
And when everything else fails, there is one last resort. That is blogging. Its not hidden the fact that there are millions of new blogs born everyday on the Internet. But most of these bloggers are ’stressed out’ desperate money makers that are now trying their luck at blogging. But this simply won’t work!
Why? Because stress is bad for blogging. If you blog just to make money, 99% of the time you won’t make enough to pay off your hosting. Because blogging is not about just ‘making money online’, its about sharing your views, your opinions and thoughts to the world. But right now, all i see is a net filled with bogus people that ‘use’ blogging platforms to try build money making sites. [i don't call them blogs, because they are simply NOT!]
‘But i am a hardworking, Dedicated and Passionate Blogger’
Are you? We all say we are, but if you seek money from a blog which is not even a few days old and got around 2-3 posts, then that is not dedication or hard work.
If you blog about anything and everything and concentrate only on blogging about affiliate products or schemes that will earn you money, then you are not passionate.
What i will say is you are stressed, most stressed bloggers don’t even know what they are doing, they just want to ‘try’ everything. Without any research or knowledge regarding the niche they blog about. That is the difference between top bloggers such as problogger, jhon chow, etc and the rest of the bloggers. They have a passion about their niche and they are defiantly not stressed.
How to kill stress?
Stress is bad for blogging, simply because when you are stressed you are not creative. No matter how hard you try you cannot get par to the level you want to achieve. Not only will stress kill you, but it will kill your blog as well. If your blog posts are filled with stressful remarks or poor attempts to convince your reader into doing/buying/trying something then you are more likely to loose the few leftover visitors you have.
But there is always a cure. Even if you are not stressed in the real life at that particular moment, a portion of your brain keeps worrying or thinking about ‘how to make money online’ or anything that you do online. If you are a full time blogger, then your worry is definitely about ‘what to blog about next?’ How to get traffic? How to find new advertisers? Where to look for reliable affiliate programs? There are so many questions and tonnes of problems which we are likely to face before we could earn our first few $ online. But it’s not impossible, in fact all it requires is a calm and fresh mind.
Specially in the case of blogging, having a relaxed mind is very important. Because when you blog with a relaxed mind, the words flow out on there own. Its hard enough to maintain a blog, managing your plugins, keeping it updated, not messing up the database, keeping it organized, constantly trying to improve the looks, keep a track of your traffic and stats, keeping off spammers and finding new readers.
After reading all those tasks i am sure, most people would not want to get into blogging, but its not as hard, only the set up is. Thanks to wordpress it’s quite easy, but making money is NOT!
Now comes the hard part, how do you keep relaxed? How can you stay active and not get stressed every time something dint work?
The answer is : take a break. Clear your mind of all the things you heard and tried. Once your fresh and ready to give it another shot, come back and start working. We all know how important relaxation is to remove stress. So go on a vacation, watch a few movies or just hang out friends for a few weeks.
My Message : Stress is bad for blogging, and blogging is bad for making quick buck. Don’t blog if you want to make money as soon as you start and definitely don’t blog when you are desperate for it and have absolutely no knowledge in the field your blogging about. If you are blogging and have quit blogging because you don’t see much results, then its likely because of the stress you get when you try to make money online. Don’t give up, keep trying. But at the same time make sure you are not getting bored or stressed. Enjoy what you are doing, be passionate.
Don’t forget that giving free knowledge or sharing your opinion [it doesn't matter if others agree with you or not, you will most likely end up as a good or bad blogger] without hesitation is what makes up the concept of ‘blogging’. And when you do that, you will definitely build up a loyal base of readers. Don’t ask others to do something which you won’t do yourself. Simple as that.
Remember stressful and desperate posts will kill your blog!
