What Are The 5 Main Reasons Blogs Fail?

1.     “Too Much Sell”:   There is too much of a salesperson pitch.  “Buy my Products”. No one is interested in a sales pitch, they are interested in value.

2.    “Too Much ME”: (TMM) There is too much information about blogger—their blog is used as a daily diary.  Although your stories are important, there has to be a reason. Give Value.

3.    “Don’t Post Enough”:  You don’t have to post a blog every day.  The rule of thumb is at least twice a week or you could even get by with once a week.  People who visit your blog and see that you have not posted at least weekly, are not impressed.

4.    “Networkers Give Up Too Quickly”: Blogs are not an overnight success but “don’t give up” May take 3-6 months before you see results. You need to be consistent, commit and give diverse value and fresh content.

5.    “Boring Content”:  Readers like refreshing content and content that pertains to them and their business.
 
A Blog should be anywhere from 250-500 words.  Readers have short attention spans.  Promote your Blogs on Social Media Sites, Feed and Blog Directories  and create a signature with your blog link.

Wow Therese

Absolutely!

You're right, and blogs going stale are why Google will also fail to find them anymore. Once you've made the decision to blog, you have to keep them up!

I gave up, now I feel lost! .... oh and confused!

I stopped everything for a while, now I am trying to put more into it because my sales are going down, and I need new people. But I am not sure where to start because it seems like I do not know what I need to know.

Make ABN visit a habit.

Hi Michelle,
Knowing that you do not know what you need to know is the begining of something powerful - inside curiosity. Make it a daily activity to visit ABN. The guidance - yes, hand - of the guru is there. You will succeed, I know.
