Many people have gone into
blogging with different expectations which at the end of the day may
seldom be realized. This is because our expectations dot not always
become reality.
It is natural for every human
being to have high expectation for his or herself but the reality of
life is that ‘you don't always get what you want’. The same
applies to blogging but also remember that nothing is impossible.
Enough pep talk, lets look at
what blogging expectations is.
Blogging Expectations
Blogging Expectations are
those things you have strong belief that will happen when you start a
blog. Those expectations vary from person to person and from one
blogging niche to the other but I will try to cover some in this
post.
Blogging Expectations vs. Reality
EXPECTATONS
|
REALITY
|
|
It may take up to 2 years before you can start earning from your blog |
|
Depending on your niche and how the concentration you give to your blog, this may not be possible. |
|
You probably will, not just in the time frame you anticipated. |
|
It takes a lot of work to make as little as $100 in a month |
It is entirely possible for
the above mentioned expectations to be gotten but truthfully you may
not get at the time you want.
Many people make a living from
blogging alone but if you ask how long they took to get there, you
will most likely not get ‘six months’ as the answer.

Some advice
- keep posting great content
- Choose a blogging niche you are most familiar with.
- post consistently
- make sure you add value
- don't expect to start making money from your blog in the first year.
- Don't give up when you are not getting the number of page views you expect, they will surely increase.
- Read other blogs and books and interact with other bloggers.
The Deception
Many people post things online
about how they started earning from blogging from day one and we tend
to believe because of maybe the pictures of houses, cars etc that
they post online. While this is rarely true, we should understand
that the most common ways of blog monetization such as Google Adsense
require a blogger to be post for a number of months, have a
particular number of visits per day, etc before they can qualify for
monetization. All
of those cannot be acquired in one day or even a month as the case
may be.
Though it is common to expect
high profit or benefit from the little work we put in, we should
always put in mind that things may not go according to our plans or
expectations. This is why I say don't quit that job yet because
someone wrote somewhere that they started earning big from blogging
immediately they started it.
