At times you wonder why you continue to write blogs. Is it worth it? Should you keep it up? Do you feel you are wasting your time? What do people care anyway?! 

You get that feeling because:

• You’re writing in isolation. 
• The problem is you’re comparing your website and blogs against the `big-boys’ successes. And you feel they are doing much better than you. 

You know you’ve done your very best: 

You’ve followed all the online protocol and you thought your blogs were fantastic. But still no one seems to care `two-hoots’ about what you wrote. And the doubts start to creep in. Isn’t that so?  

And even if you’ve been using analytical plugins, they differ so much you don’t really know which posts were more popular than others! 

It’s only natural that in your heart you would love to know who enjoyed your post. Not to worry. Remember your website is unique in its own right and will catch on in time. 

It takes time and passion:

The more you write, the better your blogs become. And the more the exciting the work is, the more it gives you a feeling of fulfilment. 

And the more exciting your website and blogs, the more people will be coming to see what you have next for them. 

If you are writing stuff you like and love doing, your work will improve.  

The more passionate you are about what you write, the more energized you become. Sharing that stuff gives you a feeling of power. And that power gives you the motivating energy to continue and continue `until the cows come home.’ 

Your strength is knowing yourself and your subject. 

Drawing on your own experiences and doing what you like best gives you reason to continue and share with others 

What gives you the most enjoy? That joy is sure to reach the hearts of people too. Because of the passionate way you write. Don’t forget there are people out there with the same passions and ideals you have. 

If you touch the hearts of people you will make valuable connections. It’s like seeing a cute puppy or kitten, people want to cuddle it and stroke it. Once the cute little thing wins their hearts they want to buy the adorable little thing as well. 

So emotion ties in with passion! The saying goes: 

Don’t sell the article, sell people the flavour:

• How juicy is your blog story?  
• What emotions does it provoke? 
• Are you touching people’s feelings?  
• Are you stirring their senses? 

And you’ll be surprised, how passion and drama reaches others out there! 

So what are you giving people?

People want to be filled with delight and pleasure. And most people enjoy living in the moment of fantasy.  

Why do you think all these years, people have read romantic novels and detective thrillers!? They want the thrills. Real `gossip’ they can pass on and share with their friends. 

Just a passing shot: I feel like a fraud too! 

It’s because I feel I have a humble background, perhaps I have a cheek to write all the stuff I do!  

And to add a chuckle or two: I often think my old English teachers, that they would turn in their graves, if they knew I churned out the stuff I do!

Then I remember what someone once said, "If you have something special, you should share it, no matter what your teachers may have thought."

And I say to myself,  "I can’t help myself. It’s my passion. I love sharing what I’ve learnt and experienced over the years!” 

And hope you share your thoughts with us too.  

It’s okay to feel vulnerable. We learn such a lot from each other.
