On blog abandonment
According to Technorati, 80,000 new blogs are created every day. Despite the fact that I don’t know how many of these fall in disuse in a few weeks, I am pretty sure that among these blogs only 1% of them survives for more than a year.
You can easily see this reading blogs somewhere on the net: blogs tend to be abandoned, since there is lack of time or creativity of their authors, and a dream of an enterprise becomes suddenly a nightmare.
Blogging takes time, a lot of time: you can’t think of writing a blog in 10 minutes once a week. You have to read, and to read a lot, to make sure you’re updated with news. Then you have to think, to elaborate your thoughts and then write something. This process takes no more than 1-2 hours per day if you’re fast and are writing no more than 2 articles per day.
Do you want to earn blogging? Do it, but don’t think it’s easy-money.
If you can’t afford this time, every single day, weekends included, it will be tough for you to be a professional blogger.
