I’m a blogger who writes about make money online tips, yet a well known MMO blogger but I enjoy sharing make money online tips, communicating with my readers, sharing experiences and lastly, I make money online. Blogging can be a hobby, but it can be a poison too, you’ll be addicted once you started it. Once you start blogging, you won’t be quitting forever because blogging has lots of fun. It goes same to me, I’ve been blogging for a year and I never think of quit blogging, I love make money blogging and I take it as a business, a job. Hence, I’ll be building more and more profitable niche blogs to make money online.

But why there is still a lot of bloggers quit blogging?

7 Reasons Why Blogger Quit Blogging

1) Laziness
This is the killer attitude of a blogger, quit blogging because of lazy is a stupid reason. I believe that most of the bloggers are lazy to update their blog, lazy to look for resources and write killer articles. I admit that I had this attitude even now, but I never think of quit blogging. Remember, you don’t have boss in blogging, no one force you to blog, you can write whenever you want, you are the boss in blogging. It’s depending on how aggressive are you to update your blog, the more often you update, the more traffics you could bring in, the more money you could generate. This is the rules, so lazy is not a good reason to quit blogging.

2) No improvement on Pagerank or SERPS
I believe that Pagerank and better SERPS are the excitant or stimulant that push you to write more, isn’t? But don’t forget, Google evaluates your blog by looking at your backlinks, how strong and quality is your backlinks, how many high PR blogs link to you. Google will give you higher Pagerank and better SERPS for the keywords you target by judging your backlinks. With that said, blogger who lazy to update their blog and nearly dead, there shouldn’t be any changes on the pagerank and SERPS for their blogs. Blogger who thirst for the pagerank and higher SERPS to make money online, they will quit blogging if they can’t achieve what they want for a long period. Remember, make money blogging is not a 1 or 2 days tasks, it can be months or years to see the result. You can read this article on how to increase your backlinks.

3) Low Traffic
Traffic is what every bloggers want for their blogs, to be famous or to make money online. Bloggers who can’t see any improvement on the traffics even though they tried very hard to update and improve their blogs, eventually they give up and quit blogging. You know that I’ve a list of 66 Professional Blogger that you can follow, follow their blogs and learn how to improve your blog in term of traffics or monetization techniques.

4) Low Readership
It can be related to low traffic, if you don’t have traffics in your blog, nobody read your blog and nobody know how good is your blog, of course you don’t have readership. In order to build up a good readership, the first thing is writing quality and useful article that helps people, 2nd thing is you should know how to promote your blog to the public. You can read this article of “7 Effectiveness Blog Tips For Getting Readers“. I believe that bloggers who don’t have readership will be feeling bored and soon they will quit blogging.

5) No mentors
I believe that every bloggers in various niches should have their mentors, isn’t? I have lots of mentors in my blogging journey, I learned blogging tips, make money online tips, traffic building tips, SEO tips from all of them, I appreciated the way they taught and wrote in their blogs. So, bloggers who don’t have any mentors in their blogging journey, they will never improve, they will feel bored of doing the same thing everyday with their blog. This is one of the reason bloggers quit blogging.

6) Can’t Make Money
I believe that most of the bloggers blog to make money online, me too. Money is the stimulant that push us to work harder, I’ll feel proud of myself and feel happy if I could make money through internet. In this way, I’ll work harder and put more effort on my blog. Of course, not all the bloggers able to make money through their blogs. They never put effort on their blog, they want to make money through their blog but they can’t, eventually they quit blogging. This is the critical reason that most of the bloggers quit blogging, trust me.

7) Financial Problem
Bloggers who have their own hosting and domain, they have to pay the hosting fees every month or year. It goes same to me, I pay about $150 for the hosting and domains fees every year, I make money online through my blogs to pay my hosting and domains fees. Between, there are many bloggers who not able to make money through their blogs, they’re not afford to pay their hosting and domains fees. Eventually, they quit blogging. Don’t forget, there is many free blog platform such as blogger.com, wordpress.com, and etc. One of my friend gave me a reason like this, I told him that he can blog for free in bloggger.com or wordpress.com, end up he told me that he was lazy (#1 point).

5) Be Caring - Try to help your readers’ questions and problems, never say “I don’t know” unless you really don’t know about the things.

I’ve experienced some bloggers never replied when I contacted them via email. It’s not the right attitude, your readers will run away and never come back.

9) Be Sporty - Not only take, but gives as well! Organizing some contest and giveaway free gift or hard core cash!

10) Be Generous - Don’t just getting inbound links only, link out to some useful resources and share it with your readers.

11) Be Cool - Try to be cool and stand out from the crowd, readers love cool blogger. Readers love blogger who will give surprise to them.

12) Be Modest - Don’t be arrogant even though you’re expert or professional in your field, you just piss off your readers.
