Hi friends how are you guys doing?, and i welcome you into year 2014. I was arrested by bro malaria and elder fever for the past 3 day, i bless God because i'm now feeling better.

Now let's go to the main issue for today,
what are the 5 Reasons You'll Probably Quit Blogging in the Next 3 Months

There are many things that can lead to a blogger getting burned out, like losing interest in the topic you've chosen to blog about, so in this post i'll be covering 5 reasons you'll probably quit blogging in the next 3 months (or sooner).

Reason #1 - You're motivated by money

Everyone loves money. Infact, money is
necessary to cover living expenses and to do the things in life that we enjoy. But if "money" is the only thing motivating you to blog in the first place, you're going to have a very hard time pushing forward. I know this all too well,
because i started my first blog in the "Arsenal 24/7 online" niche. And what do you think
happened? I'll tell you this much: I certainly
didn't make any money.

Reason #2- Your expectation is set high

We all want to be the best at everything we do, i know, but when has someone actually been the "best" at everything they did? Never. I'll admit, it does require a LOT of ongoing work to grow your blog to a level of notable success, but you can't be the best at everything you do; all you can do is "do your best". Setting your
expectations too high will only end up disappointing you.

Reason #3 - You write 7 days a week

Every established blog you look up to is a
content powerhouse. They have content dating
back several years or more, and people as well as search engines return daily to consume that content. Why? Because people & search engines feed off the awesome content those blogs produce. Without a consistent stream of fresh content your blog will die, but if you're trying to write 7 days out of the week you might die (only joking). In all seriousness, blogging everyday, you're more likely to burn out.

Reason #4 - You are not passionate enough

Before I started blogging I would always hear
the phrase "you need to write about things you
are passionate about". As I mentioned earlier, i first started blogging about arsenal blog which, to be totally honest, wasn't something i was very passionate about. I was in love with the idea of making money, so it wasn't exactly what you would call a "passion". If you're
writing about topics you have little interest in i
can guarantee that, in 3 months or less, you'll
be done.

Reason #5 - You've become a victim of
"analysis paralysis"

We've all fell victim to analysis paralysis,
whether we knew it or not, it just happens. It's
natural for someone just starting out to want to over-analyze everything in an attempt to learn all the bits and pieces, but this is bad... real bad! Once you're stuck over-analyzing something, this can go on for weeks often months at a time and you'll quickly burn out; It's best just to learn enough to get started, then take immediate action.

Conclution

There are definitely many more reasons someone starting a new blog might throw in the towel before actually seeing any real results, but these are 5 that I've personally dealt with myself.

Do you feel as if you can no longer continue
writing for your blog? Is it becoming more and
more difficult for you to keep pushing "Publish"?
If so, leave your comments below.

Happy blogging pals!
