Let’s face it. Not all blogs that are started end up succeeding. Now, success is a relative term - it is very specific to every blog and every business. But if a blog fails to serve it purpose - the purpose as to *why* it was started in the first place - then, it ends up as a failure.
Now, most bloggers that I know (and I write for) are the ones that run a home based business blog - that is, they blog from the comfort of a home. They either do it full time, or part time, apart from having a day job.
Running a home based blog is both a blessing and a curse. While it is so “comfortable” and flexible to run a business from home there are quite some challenges too.
Apart from that, most blogs fail because the bloggers themselves don’t have a solid goal or a business plan before they start a blog.
Here are some posts that I want to share with you - these posts will help you if you are struggling with your home based business blog and if you are not finding any directions on what to do next to improve your situation.
In this post I talk about some of the most common challenges faced by home based business bloggers (you!). And, I not only talk about the problems, but I also give appropriate solutions.
If you are a home based business blogger (I assume you are, since you are reading this page), then you ought to possess certain habits. I call them habits of success. Check out the post to see if you possess those habits - if not, yes lack of these habits might hinder your progress; I’m not kidding.
Have a BIG dream but a THIN pocket? I know where you are coming from. I was right there and I know how it feels. I know how bad it feels when you want to bring your dream to reality, but then you also realize that you NEED money to make your dream practical.
Sometimes you might feel pathetic that your hands are tight because of your thin pocket. I know, I know - I started out just like that. That is why I wrote this post. If you are on a tight budget that shall not stop you from developing your dream business.
Branding is highly crucial to get your business running powerfully. Branding is so important that your business or your blog stands in the minds of people without you having to make special efforts to “remind” you to them.
But branding doesn’t mean what you think - it is not about the logo (a professional logo matters a lot, though). Find out what really contributes to establishing your brand!
If you run a business, marketing is crucial, right? Marketing is an integral part of the whole process. I know, not all bloggers/entrepreneurs love marketing - heck they don’t even like marketing; not to talk about loving.
I used to HATE marketing like anything when I started out. Mainly because I didn’t know how to do it properly. But once you get hold of it, you will start to LOVE it. Trust me on this.
Now, you don’t have to know all the advanced marketing methods. You will overwhelm yourself. And, if you don’t do them correctly, you won’t get any results! This is why I have compiled some simple, doable online marketing ideas for your home based business blog. Hope you like them!
