What is Bloggers Block?

A usually temporary psychological inability to
begin or continue work on a piece of writing

Why does this happen?
❏ Lack of knowledge in a subject
❏ Lack of interest in a subject
❏ Stress or Health
❏ Discouraged by lack of traffic
❏ Too many distractions
?
Guess what?
ALL of these have a solution!
How to Overcome Bloggers Block
❏ Research
❏ Be open to new ideas
❏ Read from other bloggers in your niche
❏ Keep writing
❏ Take care of yourself
❏ Set an official schedule to blog
The number one reason a blog dies is due to
lack of new content. There is nothing to feed to
social networks, search engines, and most of
all, your readers.
Blogging is not an easy walk in the
park, or a glamorous one. It takes years
of practice, learning, lots of schmoozing
with other bloggers, investing time and
money, strategy, and a lot of words
before you make it.
Your lack of traffic can be solved if you
do the work.
3 truths some bloggers don’t get
1. You DO need to hook your site up to social network sites.
2. You DO need to engage with people.
3. You CANNOT expect traffic by search engine alone,
especially when search engines are also social oriented.

Think about it - without anything for your visitors to see, why
bother having a site?
This IS NOT the Field of Dreams movie! You have to do more
than build a site, you have to continually fuel your blog with
more content.
More food for thought about content...
Your visitors are obviously going to be important,
but your content is what will drive them to do what
you want… whether it is to comment, buy
something, or subscribe to your newsletter.
Constant unique and thorough content is the key.
Be passionate about what you blog about!
You have probably heard people say that you need to have
passion for what you write about. That is true. It must
extend to not just writing your article but being
open-minded to find resources to make your post
well-rounded.
If you can’t find it in yourself to bother to research, then
you’ll be closer to blogger burnout.
