Why Blogs Fail

One of the key elements in many of the failed blogs and websites I’ve seen over the years has been the writer putting the profit potential first. There’s nothing that can ensure failure more quickly than taking the profitability first approach.

I’ve grown to be a strong advocate of building a blog, website or business around a topic you enjoy and either know well or are passionate about learning about. It’s ok to consider the profit potential of that topic – but always consider the topic and your level of excitement about the topic first and foremost.

The long term benefit of selecting a topic you know well or are passionate about learning is you will find your blogging experience to be fun rather than a chore.

What’s Your Profit Potential

If you have topics you are passionate about and know well but are unclear on whether or not there may be profit potential – feel free to drop me an email at Gayla AT GaylaBaer dot Com. I’d be happy to do a quick check and report back what I find. You’re also welcome to leave drop a comment and share your ideas with other readers.

My way of saying “Thank You!”

My Comment Commitment: If you leave an approved comment on any of my posts, I will visit your blog and “share it” in some way whether on StumbleUpon, Twitter or Facebook depending on if I can find a nice fit.
