It’s frustrating. You’ve already created a few posts and you still have a few visitors without seeing any increase in blog traffic. You’re about to throw in the towel because now you think that having a blog is pointless. Why keep trying? I understand you. Creating your own blog that gets readers is not an easy task. Maybe you thought that the visits would come more quickly. You hear about many bloggers who become successful “overnight” and even make money from it. Things are not like that.
I love blogging
Let’s take my case as an example. Although I think that this blog still has a significant potential for improvement, it is considered one of the best blogs about marketing in Spain. One should not take these types of awards too seriously, but in the end I am human and I was happy to receive this positive feedback. Having a blog has brought me a lot: business, interviews, contacts, courses, presentations, etc. Yesterday I published an interview where I talk a little about my beginnings as a blogger and maybe you can better understand my obsession with running marathons. In this post I want to share with you why this blog is perhaps receiving more attention than yours and what I am doing to get here.
Experience as a blogger for 7 years: I have not started blogging since yesterday. I have been writing for almost 8 years.

But things take time to mature.

Consistency creates positive expectations from your readers. It has had a significant impact on generating new subscribers by email and RSS (+100% in the first 3 months of 2012). Every day at 00:01 a new post is published.
There are no excuses: I’m sorry, but excuses are for losers. There is force majeure and priorities. I have published with the flu (I had 1 wildcard post planned for these cases), on the 14-hour days during the OMExpo fair where Coguan was atb directory present with a stand and after running the Barcelona marathon. If you want to achieve something you have to commit. It’s been 101 days and I’ve posted 102 posts (one post by guest blogger Sonia Diez) in 2012.
Writing 1 post a day
This post is not intended to waver. I have exactly the same abilities as those of you who have read this post. I have good and bad days like everyone else. But I have learned one thing from my parents. They were the first generation of Spaniards who moved to Germany without speaking the language in order to have a better life.
