Why Blogs Die

Categories:  Blogging, Internet Marketing

Over the years of working with blogs that are not mine, I realized I haven’t really spent much time and attention on my own blogs.  I started with free blogs and when I learned there is not much money in limited/free blogs, I started buying domains.  I had made an ample amount but over the years, I found myself moving away and letting those blogs rot in silence.  My blogs were running, got stuck, rot, died and reborn but only to be subjected to the same cycle.  I’m sure some site owners had the same experience.  Why do blogs die?  The reason is simple.  There is just not enough reason to blog.  It may sound silly but it’s reality.

When you run out of reason and motivation to do something, that something will eventually fall to nothing.  So before you plunge into the waters of blogging and site development, think.  Why are you doing it at all?  Is it for money?  Is it for visibility?  Is it to connect you with friends and family?  Is it to cure boredom?   Answer these questions and commit to it.  If along the road, you find yourself slipping away from blogging to make room for more important things like pregnancy, family, offline career, etc… then go on a blogging hiatus by all means.   Blogs don’t hold grudges and are easily resurrected.

    This is so true, I have at-least 7 domains that are weblogs that sadly I just don’t even bother looking over anymore simply because I have lost interest in blogging on those given topics.

    same here :) thanks for sharing. although, mentally, I am placing my domains on queue for a revamp. Don’t know when, don’t know how LOL. If only domains do not gain value as it ages, I would have let some of it go.
