Blogging is hard; I'm not going to lie to you about that.

It's difficult staying motivated.

It's difficult sticking with the plan and produce content consistently.

But you know what will make your blogging journey even more difficult?

Choosing a topic that you have zero interest or passion about.

Now I know you might be thinking, "well yeah, that's obvious, Emily!"

But it's not obvious to some people because I see bloggers out there who are stuck in the "following every trend" world.

They post about topics that they don't even like or care about, and it's SO evident that they're half-heartedly writing content.

It's tempting to write about topics you know will generate money but aren't really interested in.

But this isn't sustainable for most people.

The truth is, if you want to stick with it long-term, you need to love what you're writing about.

And I know that sounds cheesy but it's SO true.

You're not going to be able to consistently produce great content if you're writing about something that bores you.

You'll get burnt out quickly.

You won't have the motivation to keep going.

It's just not worth it!

So my challenge for you is to find a topic that interests you and stick with it!

I promise you, blogging is so much easier when you're writing about something you enjoy.

If you're passionate about your topic, the rest of the blogging journey will be smooth sailing.

As always, I hope that this helps!
 
I agree @Yes , the most important is to write about something that interests you. I see so many people searching a "niche" because they think they can make money in it but they have no interest in it at all whatsoever.
 
That's true whenever you choose a blogging career always pick the niche in which you are interested, not the niche which has more profitability or low competition. Because your interest will keep you motivated.

You can always find low-competition keywords in every niche, just you need to put some effort to find them.

And I learn this from ODproduction (Not affiliated with him).
 
I agree.

I tried blogging myself, writing about side hustle ideas and I did the software reviews, but quickly got bored and de-motivated as I was doing it solely for the money from affiliate links.

However, if your passion is not profitable, it will be a long time before you see money
 
This passionate mentality is what really ends on frustration, because not all topics rank well

I know this guy who was super-passionate about philosophic topics. It's true that he could do a wonderful philosophy magazine, but the odds of leading over the one-zillion philosophy mags are about 0,1%. Still Odds, but I'm not that kind of guy that likes advising against odds.

Sticking to SEO is a hard duty. If you don't have big duty foundations, just go and do what one's truly passionate about: wank in the backoffice.

I asked him to write about fortune-tellers, which obviously wasn't very amazing. There was a huge niche there without competition at the time I was advising.

In the end, he ended in the backoffice doing what he is passionate about.

No matter if you are passionate or not. Without a discipline of duty, SEO is not for you.
 
emily who? Never heard of her.

If you have 1 blog and it is your own pride and joy, then yes she is correct to a point.
I have clients who own 10 + sites and they outsource the content and don't touch their sites.

Horses for courses.

This!

That's what passionate writer for.
 
This is 100% true, started a few blogs back then and I couldn't keep them going because I had no interest whatsoever. Then I started my internet marketing blog and whenever I would start writing a piece of content I would be so excited to write it and get all the screenshots and videos and create the infographics to put it together. Nothing beats having a passion for your blog if you really want to make it into a really good blog.
 
if you don't like profitable niche then you can hire someone to write. no ?

Yeah, the passion thing isn't for someone who outsources.
 
What does a good writer mean? I'm trying to find someone for my sites, curious how to identify who is a good-writer and who is not :)
You can know through their qualifications, feedbacks and by testing their services.
