How Do You Keep Motivated To Write?


I often receive questions that help my readers to clarify my goals, but one of these in particular I found on my contact form was:

Hi Nicola,

you write from several years…..Where does your motivation come from?

Well, actually I have been blogging since 2006, and I started with the3dtechnologies.com, which currently is my main blog about marketing, affiliate marketing make money online and save money online. Before to switch to WordPress I starting to build it by using HTML language(and I can attest, it was very hard…).

Since then I wrote over 1000 posts here, hehe a lot, almost every day. So how do I keep my motivation to writing to my blog? Well, I can say that with all the motivational factors mentioned below, I don’t have days when I just don’t feel like writing.

First comes the comments I get every day and feedback via emails is very stimulating. Second I like my job and I’ve interest to the topics I write about. Any aspect of marketing, money, affiliate programs, fascinate me too. Third things help me a lot is the money. Adsense, affiliate programs lets me to work at home. It also helped to plan new projects over the years.  Latest but not least, I stay motivated with my blog when I build a community around it.

All these point get something back from my efforts and let me do mine home work even on the days I don’t feel like it. If I do not have these help, most probably I would not be as motivated.

So, how do you keep motivate to write?

What Do You When Your Content Sucks?

Ok, you’re become a serious blogger and post on daily basis, and people just clicked on your Facebook button “I like it” below the content, you’re happy for that, but you’re just not getting any commission, and people leave your site very often.

One of most important reasons that could bring at this fail, is that your content sucks, and you’re just wonder how to resolve this situation.

Why Your Content Don’t Takes Flight?

These tips are meant to get your own effective content and help you avoid some of common mistakes blogger do.

You Don’t Take Attention To Your Content

The hard truth is that if your content sucks you can certainly write every day, but no one will be interest in what you’re saying or promoting. I’m talking about write quality articles that transforming a common article into a strong landing page and turn your readers into buyers or .

  • Answer: First at all, check via Google Analytics if your visitors stay less than two minutes, on average. If your visitors staying on your website for less than one minute, then your content is repelling people. You can do better.
  • Answer: It is possible to write a great blog post in 20 minutes, but spend less than an hour for create a good post, I can attest that it doesn’t happen very often. Most of the popular bloggers I know, spend from 2 to 10 hours on each blog post they write.

Your Comment Section Is Blank

Your comment section is blank? Your comment section is like a store in means to a desert. When it comes to promote a product or services you comment number is crucial to establish people trust.

  • Answer: Often I’ve noticed on other blog that has become standard for bloggers to not responding to comment. It just seems rude. I higly reccomend you to respond to any questions your reader does to every post you write.

You Aspect Results Soon

If you’ve been blogging for less than four months, there’s almost nothing you can do, your content is going to suck to some degree.

  • Answer: Keep your work up, and just keep going. You’ll get good soon.

You Write less then 900-1000 words

This is one thing I start doing only a few months. If you try writing at least 1000 words every day, will be difficult to write bad content.

  • Answer: Try to do it for 15-20 days and check if you get some positive results.

You Don’t Read Successful Stories

As you write every day you also need to read every day. Learn as other successful blogger write their articles, and take inspiration.

  • Answer: Take a look to others to see what’s going on in your field, waht to be good. Take inspiration from their writing styles and make it your own. There’s no better strategy than take inspiration from others.

How To Find Traffic For A Saturated Niche

So you’re thinking about starting a blog but you’re afraid because you’ve chosen a niche too saturated. Unfortunatly, many of blogs out there already ranked for good keywords. If you are a beginner and you think you don’t know how to get started, then continute reading this article.

In general, saturation is the point at which a site is fully occupied. In internet the term saturation is used to suggest that the market simply cannot take more blogs, no more services, no more ideas. In my view, is not true.

For instance, can not you think if Mercedes stop producing cars because market is satured. Also, can not you think if Apple stop developing new iphone models because there were too many already?

Worth the same things in all areas of business, such as clothes, notebook, and so on. In my view, This is a world that always change and consumers always want again and again. People want new ideas, new blogs, new websites, there can never be a saturation point!

A niche can’t be saturated, but you can find a lot of site in competitive niches, where the search engines are covered from some sites for all the top keywords. For the begginer can be hard but there are ways to break through!

In this case, increasing exposure to your blog is the best way to increase sales, and if we look at the most successful bloggers out there, you’ll find a common trait they have traffic too.

Here, my strategies for getting blog traffic in highly competitive niche.

Social Media

Usually, people who are searching for new traffic use social media like Digg, Stumbleupon, Twitter or Facebook. However there are a lot of choices out there and the list is long enough.

While social media like Digg can be very hard to get the front page without a little hand from friends, social media like Stumbleupon have an algoritmich that allows you to get a bit of traffic to any new page you submitted in their system.

Several month ago I wrote a post about how to get 1000 visitors with Stumbleupons which I urge you to read if you wish to adopt this strategy.

Search Engine Traffic

If I look through my Google analytics stat or Woopra stat, I note that the most of my traffic(about 75%) come from search engine.

The most of traffic comes from terms that have been typed in just once. For example, I get a lot of traffic from “WordPress newspaper” term. As long as you blog about topics that in general get some traffic, then you’ll grab a bit of it over time.

Blog commenting

A blog commenting strategy is a perfect way to drive several potential new visitors to your site. The better strategy to get comment is to make comment on blog in your same niche. If you comment something useful on a blog that has 20k subscribers, then you have more chance that someone read your comment and that some of those people will click through to your own blog.
