Blogging is officially dead now

[achiever2011]

Do you agree that blogging is now officially dead for an average blogger ? Now only big companies or entrepreneurs can bear the expenses required to run a succesful blog. So the joke we had on BHW from many years that blogging is dead now is now officially true.

I wouldn't say it's dead but it isn't as easy as it used to be. If you're looking to make money and have no interest in the topic yes it is dead. If you're actually interested in the topic and want to be in that niche for the long haul (5 years+) I think you will see lots of new blog pop up and make $xxx,xxx+ per year.

If only it were that easy.

If you're looking to make money and have no interest in the topic yes it is dead

"If you're looking to [what everyone wants] and you're not willing to do [what everyone hates for a long period of time with no guarantee of success] while [feel-good BS about having passion, patience, being hardworking, providing value, and other virtue-signaling non sense] then yes it is dead."

It's a pattern I have noticed before, across different industries. It's what people say when something is dead or dying.

In the real world ? People who focus exclusively on the money and pivot to better opportunities end up

making more money (shocker).

Some people are using parasite SEO and banking.
I know a guy who's programmatically creating thousands of dropshipping websites and he's (according to what he say) banking.
This dude on twitter "AI Solopreneur" jumped on the AI bandwagon at the right time and 6 month later was making 5 to 6 figures a month.

Meanwhile, Joe is still writing articles on his little blog about the best tools to fix a car because it's his passion. He's been doing it for 3 years now.
Joe is also page 345 and works a full time job.

Bloggers are entrepreneurs too. That means blogging is not dead? Am I right?

It has been dead for 'average blogger' since 2012.

Blogs got overcrowded soon as that problogger book came out. Everyone wanted to make a living from blogs.

Things change. Maybe we don't call them blogs anymore. There's new forms of blogging that still work, combining social media and blogs and so on.

It's not dead. People still read written content, right? And you writing a piece of content sharing it with someone is called blogging, correct?

Therefore, blogging is not dead. It's evolving. Methods that worked may have changed. Some died. Some evolved. Some disappeared for a while, only to make a comeback later on.

But as long as there's Internet, any video/audio/written content will be valuable because people will simply want to consume it. I don't see AI or anything else changing that. How we create and distribute content has been changing all the time, so just adapt and continue doing your own thing and you'll be golden.

Blogging will be dead the second you stop using any kind of search engine for your day-to-day searches.
I don't think blogging will die anytime soon, yes, it's not like it used to be but we need to adapt.

 

[flackz]

you stop using any kind of search engine for your day-to-day searches.

This has already happened.

The traffic has been switch to AI tools and video platform. I only use search engine to look for manga and movies, AI cant generate them (yet).

Your blogs might be dead to you, maybe because it's difficult to stand out from the crowd and attract readers.
