Hi Farhan,
It's Pawan Agarwal from MaxBlogPress.com
There are literally millions of blog out there in all shapes
and sizes.
But everyone only visits a handful of them. Ever wondered why?
Only a handful of them ever become successful. Ever wondered why?
Let me tell you it has nothing to do with these 2 theories:
------------------------------
Theory A: Early Birds Win
------------------------------
In this so-called theory, many people try to convince you
that unless you're the first to do something, you'll always
live in the shadow of the early birds.
Yet history has revealed that the "early birds" or the
pioneers are the ones lying by the roadside with arrows in
their backs.
Imagine starting a blog before Wordpress existed. Before
you can just download plugins or themes instead of having
to create them yourself. Before people even knew what a
"blog" was..
Could you have been successful if you started back then?
Was Bill Gates the first to invent an operating system?
Was Facebook the first social networking site?
Was YouTube the first online video sharing site?
The answer is a BIG "NO".
No, you don't have to be the first to be successful.
------------------------------
Theory B: Saturation
------------------------------
In this so-called theory, the naysayers convince you that
you're "too late". "It's over dude, it's too saturated.."
This is the number ONE excuse most people in any industry
give when they fail to measure up to the competition.
It's an easy way out - now you can put the blame on the
market instead of yourself...
But "saturation" goes hand in hand with "profitability"
All profitable markets will have other competitors in
them. The same goes with blogging.
In fact, if I found 600 blogs on the topic of "Outsourcing"
I wouldn't say it's "saturated" - I'd say "Here's where the
money is!"
Of course you can seek out markets with no blogs in them
and try to build one - but that would make you the "early
bird" in that market and the most likely to fail before
the market even takes off.
So what make great blogs great?
Let me tell you the secret - "Purpose"
They all have a specific purpose in mind. A specific goal.
Gone are the days when you can blog about everything and
expect people to be interested.
Today, your blog has to have a specific *niche* purpose.
a) Are you blogging to build awareness on a topic and
not looking for profits?
b) Are you blogging to help improve the image and brand
of your company or product?
c) Are you blogging just to make some money from Adsense
ad not really care about fame and glory?
d) Are you blogging to be recognized as an expert in
a specific topic or market?
It really doesn't matter what your purpose is, as long as
you have one, and don't lose sight of it in your entire
blogging journey.
At MaxBlogPress, we'll help you find that purpose. We'll
then help you get more traffic to your blog, and help you
realize that purpose.
Stay tuned for my next email...
