Blogging sounds like one of the easy things to do but honestly, it’s not.

If you don’t believe me, ask those who have a blog and they have not updated anything in a while.

When we start blogging, we have a huge motivation for Blogging and with time, we lose energy and enthusiasm. This is not same as writer’s block and we need to work on things, which can keep us motivated to blog consistently.

    Thanks again for this post. I am a new part time blogger thats why Facing lots of Problem. Sometime I think just give up its really hard to write content and maintain the blog. When I read your story about your accident (3-4 years back) then I really motivate then I think this is my start and one day will come when I will post some article like you. In my opinion if someone wants to success in blogging then Interest and Honesty is main thing. If you have Activity, Creativity and dedication then no one can stop you and then you will be “The Unstoppable”. Really thanks for Helping me through your website.

    my common way is i read the other blogs all around and see what they are doing and then think that i can do the same….

  15. Debajyoti Das

    I liked these tips a lot… Recently I was suffering from procrastination because of lessened motivation… I realized that this was becoz I was focusing more on results than actually working for it.

    Harsh, it would be grate if you share your daily schedule with us in a post…. Since, you manage 3+ blogs… It would be really nice to know “what drives you” and “how you manage the time” …
