Have Your Blogging Excuses Taken Over? Do you have excuses for not blogging? Excuses for not getting further ahead? Excuses for not building your own business? Would you like to know about three little "Excuses" that do not need to be an issue? Well, then let's dig in.
3 Blogging Excuses Exposed Look, I hear you.
Our days are rushed and busy, we drag home from work tired and exhausted, then we have our families and households to take care of, never mind all the meetings and community commitments, and children's commitments and sports.
None of us wanted to stay in that rush-rush world of never getting further ahead.
Excuses seem to come out of no where and we sure can have a list of them.
I've chosen not to have excuses when it comes to building my business, and neither should you.
Blogging Excuse Number One Obviously, the first excuse people use is that they don't have enough "TIME.
" Let me tell you something, if you want a business online, blogging is going to be your best, long-lasting, and steady list and income producer.
The time it takes to write a blog post, in the beginning as you're learning, might take you an hour.
It's an hour well spent, believe me.
There are many of us who have found that we can earn a substantial income from blogging, writing what we know about, helping people find the answers to problems.
When we got started, we were working those full-time jobs out of the home, and we had children, commitments, responsibilities, and even caring for aging parents.
Talk about not having time.
But we desired a different life where we could provide a better life with more relaxation and enjoyment.
We found the time to write those early blog posts and so can you.
Blogging Excuse Number Two Second Blogging Excuse most heard is, "I don't have anything to say" or "I am not an expert about anything.
" I have to laugh when people say this.
I studied article marketing and content creation with an extraordinary mentor.
One of our assignments was to list down things we enjoyed, were passionate about, knew about, could teach others about.
Then sort those into a list with the topic we were most knowledgeable about at the top and the rest in descending order.
Can you imagine? It didn't matter if our interests and knowledge were about raising children, gardening, growing orchids, homesteading, financial investing, or any number of other interesting topics.
And they are interesting to other people who are looking for information and answers.
You may just get so engrossed in your coin collection and probably never thought that there are millions of other people interested in coins and wanting to learn more.
You have knowledge that will help someone.
That's what it's all about.
Who can you help with what you know? Try the exercise and see what you come up with.
Blogging Excuse Number Three "I can't write.
" Really? Can you talk? If you can talk, you can write.
If you can think, you can write.
The easiest, simplest, and - yes - best way to write is to write like you talk.
Your personality and your voice is what will attract people to your blog posts and articles.
And if actually typing something out is not possible for you, then there are dictation/transcription software out there that will take your spoken word and transcribe it for you.
We all can write.
Somehow, someway, we can all write.
You have something I want to know about, then tell me about it.
Find people who have a question and answer it.
If you are a person who finds humor in most things, write with humor, write funny blog posts, write sarcastic posts.
If you enjoy chit-chatting with your friends, write like you were talking to your friends.
Your readers will enjoy your writing, they'll come back for more, and you'll see those "Likes," "Shares," and "Comments" go through the roof.
