Is Blogging Success Depends on Your Personality?
Many bloggers have sufficient experience and knowledge to start a blog and keep moving, but many fails to get success, because they fail to enhance their personal characteristics. Everyone knows that behind any blog there is a person and blog represent that person. If you have good personal view about your blog, others will feel same about your blog. Thus it is always recommended that your personal characteristics are really important to make you a successful blogger.
Here are few tips to enhance your personal characteristics for blogging:
#1 You have to be Serious about your Work
If you want to be successful in blogosphere you need to be passionate about your work. You have to work with plans and within timelines. No excuses for leaving your work on other day, and if you are getting bored with your work try to make it more interesting by doing the work in some other way.
#2 Keep Moving
If your personality gets affected with negative thoughts and you stop doing the work, then you need to change your personality. Negative characteristic can stop your blogging growth and slowly you will start losing interest in your blogging activities.
#3 Concentrate on Goal
You should have an objective to achieve while blogging. Once you decide what your goal is, keep working towards it passionately. Never compromise in your objective. If you have planned to have network of 10 blogs then you should achieve that.
#4 Get Extrovert
If you are having an introvert characteristic then I am sorry to say, you definitely need to change. Once you create your blog, you need to interact with other bloggers, respond to their comments. Take part in forums and express your views. Register in social media website and interact with others. This is only way to promote your blog.
#5 Be Confident but Don’t be Overconfident
There is very thin line between confidence and overconfidence. You should be confident that you will surely get successful with blog. Be confident that you can interact with others and share your knowledge. But you should never be overconfident that all others are wrong and you are right. You should take your criticism positively and start working on it as soon as possible.
You blog represent your personal characteristic, thus follow these tips to groom yourself and become a successful blogger. Want to add something? Share with us! Happy Blogging!!
I think you’re absolutely right. I think that personality is a huge part of why bloggers become successful and why others don’t. If readers can easily relate to the writer, then that connection is likely to lead to a returning reader. Without that connection, in most cases, it will not.
Having said that though, very large blogs with guest posters and numerous writers can become impersonal, however they are still popular.
I think another reason why blogs don’t succeed is because, the blogger is too lazy to post informative articles, which also reflects his/her personality. Bottom line, personality is really a big factor on blogging success.
Yes, that’s definitely a major reason why blogs don’t succeed, but sometimes, even with good content, the way it comes across to the reader, through your personality can be a put off. On the other hand, good personality can sometimes make up for below-par content.
Nice point in your last statement. And that’s become reason for us (who can’t write high Quality article) to learn to be good personality people.
Ah, really? But in myself case, i’m not lazy to commenting on forum/blog, but why i’m lazy to blogging? And if it’s like that, what is my personality type?
I definitely believe ones blog should be an extention of ones personality. But blogging should also be a way to express ones alter ego. In other words if one is quiet and shy perhaps one could feel a since of freedom and power masked behind the shield of thier blog. Which sort of goes in line with your #4 Get Extrovert
Hmmm. If someone is talkative at his/her blog, that means there is a high probability that this person is shy in personal?
That’s often the case. A lot of blogs start up simply because people want to get their point across, that haven’t been able to in the past. Not in all cases though, of course.
I think that most bloggers are extrovert persons. They blog because they want to reach out more audience, reach out more eyes to read what they written.
And most of them become successful in this field? I’m a shy person too and I am sometimes hesitant to post personal information on my blog. I tend to think, who’s interested in me and what’s the point of sharing a part of my life in my blog?
So now, I just post articles about topics not personally related to me.
Haha you’re same with me.
Because blogging is not requiring us to meet directly each other, but it can be a field to train ourself about “How to make relation and socialize”, so blogging activity can help use to change our personality itself.
I am really thinking of my blog network from now. But first need to learn all basics of maintaining WordPress blogs. Blogging growth will be exponential, if you work consistently and regularly.
How can any one make successful blog in shortest period of time?
Learn the basics from techncial blogs, search google you will get the datisl
Interest, Find, Learn and Apply.
HI anish,
I already did a lot of learning. Now, it is time implement things.
Sure, Try and Post the results. From these learning prepare a check list/to Do list. within 2-3 months you can see the difference. sure.
Keep this in mind
” Known is a Drop and Unknown is an Ocean “.
Will this really take 2-3 months before I can see the difference?
Keep on reading TZI articles, you will still learn a lot. I strongly believe in Lax!
Anish what is datisl? I like to find out how to be more successful but I need to know more about your reply.
I think he mean “details”.
I thought it was data or something. But yes maybe you are right, most probably its details.
or maybe “datisl” stands for something else. let’s wait for Anish to answer.
hey rahul….never think about the SHORTEST method….committ urself to your blog and success to will be yours
Hi Tushar,
I will be working for my blog with commitment for sure. I am now making goals for my blogging.
Setting goals are important, try this
for example if your traffic now is 100 , set it to 200 in the next month (don’t set too high tasks) .
These are my experiences. Don’t feel bad to ask questions. in my starting time i have asked lot of silly question to seniors, they corrected me with god/simple tips.
Don’t forgot to visit Technical blogs, Prepare a list and keep visiting.
Learning is Important. Once you got the Technic, then you can rocks.
My unique visitor now is only averaging to 2 per day. I’m still not serious about blogging because I want my own .com domain. Until now, I’m still using blogger.
I still have a lot of things to learn before I implement these things.
You can try WordPress.com
Almost the same as Hosting your own Wordpress blog but you can not put any ads on it. But you can familiarize yourself already with Wordpress.
But if I were you, I’ll just wait a little and get my own hosting and domain. Xmas is just around the corner and its perfect time for starting a new blog.
I completely agree with you. I think setting goals is a must on all things we want to achieve. Without it, then its harder for all of us to reach our goals.
Yes, absolutely. Leave yourself some scope to exceed those goals as well. Setting goals that are too ambitious, and therefore don’t succeed can be demotivating.
But, that’s not mean ambitious is not needed, right? Because ambitious is still excist.
Victor asih, a motivator, tell me 2 way to make motivation :
“Heaven approach”
“Hell approach”
And about hell approach, Think something bad happen if your goal is not reached. It will help you to be motivated again. In this step, use your ambitious as a gas.
Anyway, concentrate on goal is more easy when you make very detailed goal.
For example, the goal is to get New Car. Make it detailed :
What type?
What colour?
What brand?
This technique is required by a lot of motivator. Just try it.
Setting goals should be meet 2 criteria :
- Measurable (How much, how many, etc…)
- Realiable (Can achieved on x month, x day,…)
Yes, short term growth often doesn’t lead to returning visitors and loyal readers. Yes, it’s great for a period of time, but it’s hard to maintain. Aim for long term success.
I have small blogs as of the moment. I agree with you. It’s hard to maintain the discipline in blogging and Promoting your blogs. I wish, I’m passionate enough to Do these things.
Promoting your blogS, is even harder, yes. Continuous promotion will (hopefully), lead to a regular and loyal reader base. Normally, promotion for a short period of time won’t Do that, from my experiences. There of course are exceptions.
I have merged all my topics from my other blogs into my current blog. This way I can maintain my focus on just one website.
My big problem now is domain name. Most of the .com domain is already taken.
In my opinion, blogging can work great with both introvert and extrovert. Introvert person can become extrovert in blogging because they can use alias name.
I think its related with our Reputation.
Well before you get any Reputation you need to earn it first. Now before you can earn any reputation, you need to start somewhere and having a good personality will make or break your blog.
All the 5 Points which you have mentioned is absolutely great!
This is My First Visit to TechZoomIn, and this served me as welcome post!
i need to work with #3 and #4!
Welcome Chetan to Techzoomin, Keep Visit, i got your Comment also on My blog
There are a lot of interesting topics here at TZI. Keep reading!
Laziness of a blogger is also a hindrance in your blogging success.
Even though you knew the information about how to be successful but you don’t Do it, you still can’t reach your goal.
The main point is to implement what they knew…Don’t just sit back and hope the result was great later…
The problem with me is, I always expect instant results. After few days of hard work, I want the results be seen in a week which is not really the proper attitude. I must wait for months before I really see the results.
Thanks to TZI for making me realize about my mistake.
You should set up your goal..an example what you want to achieve in one week..go with small goal then increase your goal time to time.
I used to expect instant results, Renino, until they didn’t come. Learning from sites like this and problogger, you realize it takes time, dedication and passion if you’re going to succeed.
I think it is not in the personality but on the individual’s behavior.
I don’t agree with you..The personality affect the individual’s behaviour…Like an example if the person is kind of messy he or she will mess evrything they did…they love to live in messy place as an example..
I think it’s bot personality and behavior. If one contradicts the other, then both aspects can be ruined. Both are needed in my opinion.
That’s right! individual’s behavior is part of his/her personality.
I think it’s the same sir. individual’s behavior is somehow the subset of your personality.
I prefer to visit Technical personalities blogs/websites.
one example : Amit Agarwals labnol. I am a regular visitor of labnol, he is a good guru.
Can you give the blog URL?
The way to determine the persoanality of the writers is to read his or her article..Each person has their own style on writing and it depends on the personality…
Yes, and once you’ve read a few of their articles you will begin to think of them as a person, rather than just text on a screen.
Exactly. It helps if you put some information in your about me page.
I got no. 4 and no. 5 already, time to work out on 1 to 3. Moving forward now.
I don’t have anything from 1 to 5. I still have a lot to Do before I can actually implement these things.
Start with number 3 and then proceed with number 1 then maybe 2, 4 and 5.
What? So until now, what are you doing
?
It’s a month already since you make the Comment. Now, how’s the implementation and result? I would like to know.
Blogging Success Completely Depends on the content
Well, in business, there is 4 pilars :
- Finance
- Human resource
- Marketing
- Production
On blogging business it can be compared like this :
- Finance – fund power
- HR – Blogger itself
- Marketing – Promotion
- Production – Content
And now, let you answer it first :
If only one pilar is good, in this case is content, will it effective?
For #4, it’s interesting fact about me that i’m extrovert on online world, but introvert on offline. It’s more comfortable for me to make relation with text and no need to direct meet.
