Do you ever feel like nobody is reading your blog? Do you sometimes wonder why nobody is commenting on your posts?

If you’ve just started your blog this is probably what you’re going through.

If your blog is young, here’s what I guess you’ve done so far:

• You’ve registered a domain name
• You’ve paid for hosting
• You have a concept for your blog, and you have an idea of who your target readers will be
• You already have a few cool design elements in your head, you may even have a cool blog banner, and the first few blog posts ready to go
• You’ve finally finished the layout

And you have set yourself a launch date.

The launch day finally arrives! Here’s what happens:

• You’re blog is all set up, everything looks exactly how you want it to look, and you have posted your first blog post (or a few), but usually just one
• You do a Twitter blast, “Hey I’ve started a blog, check out www.yadayadayada.com”
• You tell all your friends on Facebook

And then you wait…

You get a couple of hits…a few people on Facebook like your link, they say “cool blog”, but they don’t comment on your post.

Here’s what happens next:

• You add more posts
• You add menus,
• You add widgets,
• You even add a free e-book!

And then you wait again. Here’s what happens next (click on this You Tube video)

If you can’t see or hear the video, this is where you hear the crickets chirping in the night.

Don’t get discouraged!

Why? because this happens every day, it happens to hundreds of people who start a blog, it happens to people that have been blogging for months…it happened to me.

You are not the only blogger this is happening to.

Don’t give up!

Here’s what you do:

Don’t just keep posting content every other day, because you will experience the same cycle: write, edit, find pic, edit again, post, shut down your computer for the night…check your stats in the morning…a few hits, no comments. Repeat.

You may be frustrated, upset, or sad…but don’t give up! Here’s what I want you to do instead:

• Start more intelligently again tomorrow
• Do one thing different
• Come up with a new strategy
• Don’t post as often
• Write longer posts
• Write shorter posts

Do you get the picture? I could go on and on and on, but my point is that you do whatever you have to do to eventually have your blog be the successful blog that you have envisioned 5 years down the road.

It will be those bloggers that persist who get there. I don’t want to see you give up, I want to see you get there!

So please, do me a favour…add a comment below. Let me know who you are, and where your blog is? And what you blog about? I will visit and I will comment.

Remember you’re blog is never closed to the public, and the show must go on. Make sure you keep posting for the moment when the new visitors do arrive, and comment, your readership needs you…you just don’t know it yet!

Please share this post with the world if you like it. Turning Point Motivation is still open for business, but then again we were never closed, thanks for visiting!
