Very informative post, patience is the hardest to endure.
Totally agree with these factors! Content is king but patience is everything.
I definitely agree with all these. Patience is definitely the key to any success. Nice blog.
Blogging is a challenging self-expressing kind of activity. And if whatever you blog about goes to see the general public – then the content should be chosen with particular care.

Great article. This is a topic I know I need to learn more about and you really helped me understand some good ways. Thank you.
Patience is really required in blogging. It is like “slow and steady wins the race”. With time the blog grows. And I feel that communicating with others also helps a lot. After all we are all netizens and interacting over the net is a must.
Oh man, focus is one I struggle with. I have so much going on sometimes. Thanks so much for the reminder. Have a great day!
Blogging does have a certain rhythm to be successful. I think ultimate consistency is the best way to be a successful blogger.
Excellent advice for any blogger. I think I am good with the first 3 points but my patience can do with some improvement.
True, blogging is more than just writing and it takes a lot of commitment to have a successful blog. Great post!
I have been blogging for 5 years and I still find it very hard to focus on only one thing at a time. There is so much to do that I start one task and end up moving to another without finishing it ,very fast.
As a blogger I can relate this post. I am totally agree on all the above points. And trust me from last 6 months we are focusing on each and everything
This is a very useful and helpful post, thanks for sharing. The information was very important.
Personally, the hardest part for me is to focus. But, once I have fully committed to the purpose of the post… the rest of the writing just flows.
Patience is very important, in fact the first step towards success. Once we have that we can achieve the others , thats what I feel.
I agree that blogging takes a lot of patience and focus. You can’t expect immediate results when you’re first starting out.
Great post! It’s always good to be reminded about the factors that make your posts and blog something people want to read!
So much goes into blogging but it takes patience! It takes time to build your audience and your blog voice and confidence! I’m finally getting the hang of it after 8 months!
Blogging is a process and lots of patience! great written it helpful a lot!
Patience is key. It is very simple but quite daunting to do. Not all have the patience and determination to have the right amount to be a successful one.
Patience truly is such a bit factor when it comes to success. You have to keep at a thing and if you get impatient in it, you will never truly succeed in the end.
Marketing is so important and we can’t ignore the fact that we should constantly promote our blogs if they have to reach the right audiences.
Ahhh, patience! Yes that is a hard one to swallow! Persistence and patience are definitely the virtues when it comes to blogging!
These are great tips and I find I lack patience sometimes 🙂 Thank you for sharing x

As a new blogger, I really needed these simple tips and insights. Thank you!
I agree with all of your points! Marketing your blog is a big factor for sure, as it helps to drive tonnes of viewers. That makes all the difference.
Those are some great tips! Blogging can be quite intimidating to beginnings but if you are persistent in continuing then you will definitely get there sooner than you think.
Every point is valid. We need to focus on each one of them. The extend of the focus depends on where we are in our blogging expedition!
Thanks to your post I’ve pick up a few things. I agree with you in just being patient, work hard and think positive. Eventually your hard wok will pay off.
Great tips, especially marketing because I am constantly learning about that. Do you read marketing books?
Exactly patience and consistency is very important to maintain a blog. Else we may lose out in our passion.
I struggle with the patience portion of this!
Yes marketing is so key. Sometimes it takes alot of effort to market your blog and it takes time but if you put the effort in it pays off!
Patience is really the key. It requires years of hard work to get to a place where people recognize you.
These are some really great blogging tips. I think consistency is a good one as well.
Successful blogging is really hard to do, but with patience and effort it can be done!
Focus, patience and constant work input on the blog are essential. Its only lately when I’m able to focus more on my blog and see positive results. May not be on the first page but at least getting more people to visit my blog. So yes slowly will get there.
You are so right. Previously, I thought researching is not that much essential. That I could just go on and write, there will definitely be some to read it, right?! but, it did not lead me anywhere. So much help in this article!
Definitely important to have patience! 🙂
Great post! Some good advice there for and we all need some of that from time to time. Thanks for sharing
Well said! Blogging isn’t easy, but you have to put the work into it! There is ALWAYS something to do!
Yeah. There’s always something to do and we should always keep going for our success
I liked what you wrote “Nothing good comes easy.” I say that if it was easy then everyone would do it. Patience, persistence, focus and drive are necessary in anything you want to accomplish, especially running a successful blog. We can do it!
I agree with you.. We can do it
This post is spot on. Blogging is not for the faint at heart. It’s a lot of hard work and persistence to get where you need to be.
Sometimes there is so much going on around us that we completely lose focus on what is needed l get that, as I myself have that problem sometimes. I find that putting my phone away really helps and is less of a distraction.
Amen to all of this, it’s so true. You really hit the nail on the head. Thanks so much for sharing this with all of us!
Thanks
these are goos points to consider. research and patience help a lot too. and as i may add, we should be watchful too of the latest trends and cope up and if we can, always level up.
I agree with everything, especially with patience and focus. I’ve been a blogger for more than a decade but it was more lazy work that I was doing in the past. When I opened my new blog, I was determined to take things seriously, and it’s really a lot of work.
The more I read the more interested I became. This is all great advice, thank you!
Focus and patience is key. These are valuable points. Thanks for sharing this
Great post looking to become a millionaire blogger influencer keep up the great work and tips!
It is hard work and does need a lot of patience! Thanks for the tips ??
This is so true – it’s so hard to run a blog sometimes but keeping pushing and going is so worth it!
This is so true! A lot of times I get frustrated when things don’t go well blogging and I lose patience. Thanks for sharing
Email is marketing I think is the best strategy to get some loyal readers. I am giving now more focus on growing email list.
Patience is definitely my biggest pitfall, I’m very much an instant gratification type of person, but succeeding with my blog has been important enough for me to fight through the slow times.
Keeping up with a blog can feel downright exhausting at times, but it’s so worth it! Thanks for sharing!
Great post! Marketing and research are key for blogging success!
Keyword research is one of most important factors of a successful blog. Glad you pointed that out. 🙂
Blogging is a challenge but there are many rewards if you continue, persevere, and focus!
I am not going to lie. I did not have patience in the beginning. I was seeing so many people having success in blogging and I always said to myself if they can do it, so can I but the long story short is that I tried to shortcute my way into success but didn’t work. Patience is key!
I agree that patience is key. It takes a long time to build something that will last. There are plenty of people who will promise you fast results, but the quicker something takes the build usually means the faster it will fall apart.
Have patience and do it right!
I have been blogging for 8 years. It’s been quite the journey but a very rewarding one! 🙂
Such an amazing post and yes i can’t agree more with your tips especially focus!!! Focus is key.
I have realized the value of patience as after 5 years it has taken me where I am today.
I agree. Patience! I encountered lots of new bloggers always asking why they don’t have lots of readers after 1 month of blogging. Blogging takes time.
I am totally with you on this. Patience is key. It is a slow process but rewarding and really a learning experience.
Blogging is hard work and takes up lot of time. Thank you for the useful tips x

Wow! This is spot on! Patience is soooo valuable!
Focus and patience have been the 2 hardest ones for me. I know that I need to have patience but can’t focus on that. But I’m trying really hard to persevere.
Research and continuous marketing is extremely important. I started a few other blogs and they didn’t do well because I was only posting about them once as well as not doing any research for growth. Now that I’ve applied myself with my most recent blog, it’s doing very well because I am promoting it everyday and learning as much as I can about blogging.
Great post! We often forget that last bit: Patience. Success doesn’t happen overnight. Thank you for a great post.
Nice tips and I am more agree with focus and patience which is for me are the most important attitude or atttibutes that a blogger need to have.
love this topic! every single one of them is such an important guide. Thanks so much for sharing
I have been blogging for 13 years now, and it’s hard to leave it. It’s been rewarding so far and everyday is a learning experience! 🙂
Patience is very very important!
I think patience is one factor that always gets forgotten!
In blogging your patience is tested . Focus only on your goals and work your way. Don’t forget to enjoy.
I’ve always been big on research, but this year I’ve realized how big a role marketing plays too! Just having good content online isn’t enough, phew!
I agree with you
Marketing does play a very big role
Thank you for this! I recently started my blog again and I realize I was lacking a few of these things the first time around!
Yes! I am in the middle of this process now. Fighting discouragement and being excited at the same time on most days.
I’m trying to stay calm and to have patience, but sometimes I just want to give up. I’m still trying to be different and to present content in the best way possible.
Patience is a must when it comes to blogging. There is no way to fast track or rush things in the blogging world. You need to accept that a loyal following/audience takes time.
Yes to all. The paitence part is what most dont understand with blogging.
I feel like people have no idea how much hard work goes into blogging. Thanks so much for sharing this with all of us!
I have been blogging for two years now and it for sure takes commitment and patience.
It’s nice to have good tips. It’s appreciated when you’re struggling to get your blog above water to have someone helping.
I absolutely agree! Focus and patience are so crucial for blogging, as it takes time to build up a loyal following, and a blogger needs to be committed to the long road ahead. As someone who has started and stopped blogging over the past few years, the road is not easy, but it can be very worth it.
Blogging can be very rewarding but it does take a lot of patience and effort. As long as you don’t expect success to happen overnight, you will enjoy the journey.
I have a support group for fellow bloggers and I am sharing this with them
Great article!
Blogging is challenging and then when you think you have it sorted, a new set of rules arrive each year or every 6 months.
These factors are all necessary to be successful in blogging. Patience has been the most difficult for me. It takes a long time to build a trusting audience and a brand. But hard work and patience pays off!
Having patience with your blog and promoting it are key. If you don’t promote you’ll get no traffic, and if you have no patience you won’t stick at it long enough to reap the benefits.
But it’s also very important to have worth while content too.
I’ll keep this in mind. I always want to have a successful blog. I try to do a lot of these.
Blogging is tough business! And it takes time, just like you said. Thank you for some great pointers.
I like the diagram of the factors. This would be a good daily reminder for me when I work.
Patience and Committment has to be the most significant of all these factors. I mean, I know of a lot of people who “thought” they wanted to blog but they quit early. Blogging is so much more than writing. And YES about marketing. I mean, if you do not want to be talking to the wind, then you have to work on your marketing strategies.
Patience is definitely not my best quality! You have some great ideas here!
People often make these wild claims and long steps about blogging but you are right it really comes down to a few simple steps. If you do each one well you will have success.
This is super helpful, especially for bloggers just starting out! Thanks so much for sharing this with all of us!
Thanks for sharing this! It’s certainly not an overnight success type thing. Appreciate you putting this together.
These are all amazing tips for sure. I would say patience is one of the biggest as it tajes time to build and grow. Love this and appreciate your sharing!
This is so true! I’ve experienced one or the other while developing my blog. I believe that discipline and consistency is vital. It’s important to connect with the audience and without consistency that’s basically impossible.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day!!<3
So far, I’ve been mostly sticking to my own photos in my blog posts. I agree that high quality images tend to stand out!
s we all know, this is a key process to ensuring that your blog reaches your targeted audience and building your brand
