So when I switched to “full time” mode online/digital. I thought I knew everything I needed to know about writing/blogging, social media etc. And I thought I had it all figured out, but I was very wrong.

My story will hopefully help you avoid some of the problems you may be facing now or facing down the line when your business or your blog website starts taking off.

The first one came as a real shocker that crushed all my motivation and high hopes.

There are no guarantees at all when it comes to your target market. One thing you will realize when you start writing is that, not everyone will like or share what you write. Sometimes you write a piece thinking it will reach that level, 100 you’ve been waiting for.

Writing one article/blog is tough. So much thought and creativity needs to be in place when you write. You think of who you are writing for, why the topic is relevant, what will make them read the article and click like or share it with friends. You also need to take into consideration how your piece might impact the person reading and if they will keep coming back for more. This is hard, but fun. I’m doing this full time now and truth be told, each article is unique on its own and that takes a lot of time and thought.

Someone I know, who happens to be TV show/program blogger said, “you only need one GOLDEN blog a day to succeed and keep track of the online behavior of your audience. The rest are just “extras” and they might make you lose your focus from your main one. Just be careful once you start growing your blogs”.

I thought that once I was in that “full time mode” it would be easy to just write a piece, but that’s not the case. When you write it comes from a pure sincere place and you get personal sometimes. People come into your zone, you become vulnarable in a way, because you are now an open book. I’m not complaining though; I love the hard work and the grind.

I used to write way back when I was in highschool, and now I’ve actually started loving it again.

When no one reads your articles or commends on them, not be discouraged. KEEP WRITING, don’t stop.

I once thought “I know it all” but after discovering that writing is as an art, as well as reading other people’s blogs, I knew I still had so much to learn, and there’s always something new to learn.
