Why bloggers fail

The only reason bloggers fail is that they stop producing content.

If a blogger commits to writing a blog until he is dead, then he can’t fail.

You really can’t measure blog’s success on external factors like views, money and whatnot.

If you been thinking about quitting blogging, just redefine success. Blogging was never good business model. Sure some bloggers make money, but I doubt they are writing content that they really want.

Who wants to write articles like: ‘top best gadgets of 2026’. It’s soul crushing.

Not ‘how to’

When starting a blog, you really don’t have to write ‘how to’ tips or have a niche.

Your life is your niche.

There’s so much pressure to monetize one’s blog, that if you don’t do it – you’re considered a failed blogger.

Due to scarcity of attention, most bloggers won’t get a cut from their ‘work’ even if they tried hard.

That’s how the blogging world works, blogging results are uneven among blogs, top blogs get all the views while other folks get peanuts.

It’s the reality, not something we can do about.

Today companies not only want you to create content for free, but also pay to get seen, which is basically bullshit.

When I first started blogging

So I started blogging maybe 17 years ago, I blogged everywhere and sought money, but no platform did pay me for views that I got and whatnot, so now I realized that there is no money in blogging, although I made over 2000€ over that time from donations. That’s shit money.

Money from blogging is just the dream that keeps most bloggers writing. You won’t make any money from blogging, maybe that sounds harsh, sorry. Although there is a small minority of bloggers who make money, but most do not. Ask ChatGPT, if you don’t believe me.

Blogging is more of a creative outlet, than money printing machine.

Blog is a platform to publish, but not make money. Even when you put your writing to sites like KDP, you earn little to no money and it doesn’t matter how much you publish.

I have 100+ titles on Kindle and they get me just 1-2€ per month, totally passive income.

You see, everybody would want a life where you just sit on the computer and do bullshit work and get paid. Blogging is bullshit work.
