The blogosphere is a free and open country, let’s not forget. I know a few guys who blog two or three times a day and never had any intention of monetizing their blogs; they have small but passionate following of people who share their interests who they would otherwise never have met either because of social or geographical restrictions. Now there’s nothing wrong with that. The important point is that you know ahead what your motives are for blog and you tailor the kind of blogging you do and what you blog about (and how much promotion time you put in) to your motive desired outcome. You have to know what your vision is, however humble or grandiose and then take a look at your skills base. After that there’s only one thing to do; start as you mean to go on or don’t start. The key is to know what you want and combine fantasy with reality as a realistic vision.

[...] Recently, I did a case study on ‘What makes a blog so popular‘. I described two routes used by most of the bloggers to achieve success in the blog-o-sphere. One technique among that is ‘The Rapid Success Route’. The major stumbling block in achieving success through this route is that it requires huge investment of time and labour. You have to be on your toes – all the time! Not everybody can cope up with this amount of pressure and therefore, they either don’t continue using this technique or they end up quitting blogging.

[...] Many bloggers start as niche bloggers, writing enthusiastically about the topic they love to read (or apparently they think they love it). They write a few articles about it and then after some time they either start writing about the something else, going off topic or they end up quitting their blog. [...]

Yes, I agree with you, A hobby gone bad. There should be motivation and no pressure, because pressure just helps lose interest. And there is no point i blogging without interest.

Yes that is what i think is the major reason behind a lot of bloggers quitting because they think the topic is no longer relevant.

I agree with you that a lot of bloggers even like me start off to make an online presense or to be appreciated and get views reinforced. I think people quit when they think they have to research a lot before writing about a particular topic.

I disagree with the point that the different variants will reduce this era to a fad. In my opinion this variation in blogging, is what makes it unique from other things.
And i firmly believe that making money from blogging requires consistency, quality, marketing and a little bit of luck

If I had a $ for everyone thats asked me about “getting into it” that I’ve helped through time and quit, I would be retired… It’s like a hobby gone bad, I wish people would put more thought into it before just going with it.

Great post.

Some bloggers quite because things change in their lives. So, for example, my blog is about being based in Bosnia. When we return in a few months time the blog is no longer relevent so I’ll have to stop it. Things change, circumstances change, it may lead to the blogger calling it time.

Let’s be honest. Blogging is an attempt at being compensated for your opinion. While we all like the idea of going to the coffee shop and writing something snarky or insightful and the coolest laptop available in reality, this is just a hobby for most people. People do not want to be informed, they only want their own views reinforced (political blogs) or to be entertained, hence the millions of wanna-be celebrity/pop culture blogs. I think it is important to separate the two types of bloggers, those that consider themselves professional, who actually do some research, and in essence act like journalist of old from the snarky talk out of their ass kind of blogger who says anything for attention.

Ultimately the ubiquity of blogging, microblogging, social network blogging, and whatever slight variant of blogging emerges will reduce this era to a fad. True, the pros with mass appeal and celebrities will always have the soap box but, for the average person, making money as a blogger is as viable as playing the lottery.
