What are your biggest blogging challenges?
No blogger
out there in the blogosphere could deny out rightly the fact that he/she has
one form of blogging challenge or the other.
Blogging
challenges cuts across from individual to individual and from newbie bloggers
to pro bloggers, just similar way skills, special gifts varies amongst
individuals.
One form of
blogging challenge for Blogger A
could turn out to be the blogging strength for Blogger B, and that is one of the major reason I decided to put up
this post, so you can freely list some of your blogging challenges which can be
strength to other bloggers, and by so doing you might just get the help you
need to tackle some of your blogging challenges…“A problem shared, is said to be half solved”
For some, their
major challenges could be creating of catchy
and engaging contents, whereas others will tell you that it is just how to drive the desired traffic to
their blog.

But one
thing I know is that traffic has
remained one of the major challenges facing upcoming bloggers, but on the other
hand, some pro blogger have been able to conquer traffic challenges and have
succeeded in turning their blogs into honeycomb
that attract swamps of traffic at any given point in time.
Whichever be
the case, traffic and content are not the only challenges
facing bloggers, as other different challenges abound in the blogosphere.
I conducted
a recent study on a popular Facebook group, Bloggerslab that comprises of about 6000 + active members who are mainly bloggers, that saw many pro
and upcoming bloggers dishing out their blogging
challenges when a similar question was posed to members of the group by
another member.
Elsie Godwin, who is a member of the group, in
response to the question, said that his blogging challenges stems from time,
internet, content and traffic, while another member hinged his blogging
challenges as getting enough traffic to make his Adsense count, and some others had said that getting Adsense approval is their challenge.

Another
notable member of the group, who goes by the name Olili Bob also mentioned traffic as his blogging challenge. Again, Muogbo Ifeanyichukwu Kingsley, also a
member told the members of the group that Search Engine Optimization (SEO) has
remained his nightmare in blogging.
Statistics
taken, show that most of the bloggers cried out for increased traffic to their
blogs as their main blogging challenges.
It was a bit
of surprise to see only but few bloggers mentioned content creation as their blogging challenge.
But out of personal opinion and observation
made, we saw the increase and proliferation of copied content (plagiarism) in
the blogosphere, and it has made us to include content creation challenges to traffic as the two most common and
biggest sources of blogging challenges facing many bloggers out there.

If content
creation was not a major challenge, then the rate of plagiarized contents will
be minimal contrary to our observation.
Now to
tackle some of these problems, we are urging the bloggers out there that some
of the challenges enumerated above turned out to be their strength, to use this
opportunity in contributing or lending a hand, maybe by using the comment
section to brief others on their strength which happens to be some form of
challenges to others.
And they can
also list out their blogging challenges too, which might in turn be others
strength, and by so doing they could also get similar help. By so doing, the
knowledge will go round and everybody will have something to learn and go home
with.

i would say catchy title and having to take the pain of typing on mobile is my blogging challenge
ReplyDeleteHi Tuham,
DeleteI understand when you say having to take the pain in typing on mobile. It is a gradual process and very soon now I now you will get your on laptop.
Then for catchy titles, you just need to spend a little time to view other blog post titles and also try to think out of the box on what title to use that will attract maximum attention, though you should learn how to desist from false title, as it can easily be turn off for some web visitors
