I started blogging about 2 years back and during my 2 years of blogging journey I came across hundreds of blogs and now there are only few blogs left that are working very well till now, rest all the blogs are either deleted or are not updated from past many months. In my today’s article I am going to share some reasons why many blog fails.
Fail to make plans and strategies
Most of the blog fails because they do not work under a defined system, they do create strategies before writing any article. They fail to plan their blogging style, posting frequency. Majority of blogs fails due to this reason.

Fail to research before starting a blog
Majority of bloggers do not research about their hidden talent, they do not research on which topic to start a blog, they only follow the crowd and start a blog on which their friend is blogging.
This should not happen, first explore yourself and ask yourself what are the topics you love. Do read my article on How to Find a Good & Proper Niche For Your Blog.
90% bloggers are lazy
This is my personal view that majority of bloggers are lazy. They do not work hard in reading other blogs, reading eBook, reading tutorials, tips and tricks. This is the reason why blog fails.
Lack of patience
Many bloggers quit blogging due to lack of patience. Blogging does requires a bit of patience as success comes with time. So, lack is patience is another reason of blog failure.
Loose interest
Many bloggers quit blogging because they loose interest in their blog. As a blogger quits blogging, the traffic graph will gradually go down.
No post idea left
Blog fails when the blogger has no post idea left. If a blog is not updated on daily basis, gradually it is left unread and thus fails. This is the reason many blogger quit blogging.
Cannot bear the competition
Some blogs fails because they cannot bear the competition. There are millions of blogs these days and the competition is very tough, so some bloggers quit blogging as they see themselves at last in the competition.
Content not up to the mark
When the content is not upto the mark, blog fails. Most of the bloggers, writes for the search engines and not for the their readers. So, when the content is not interested and useless, a blog fails.
Content highly over the mark
Some people uses very high technical language in their blog, a common man is unable to understand the content, so when the content is highly over the mark, a blog fails.
You should write content using very easy language, do read my article on How to Write A Blog Post : Some tips

I think bro, the main reason behind a blog’s failure is that he/she is too lazy and that he does not communicate and reciprocate with people. It is very essential to communicate and reciprocate since blogging is a social medium
