Yes, and that’s the true story. The so called smart way doesn’t exist. And if it does exist, then eventually Karma will get back to you for having it so easily. The right way most of the times is the one which you haven’t even thought of. Or the one which seems the hardest.

5.)Ā [icon name=icon-group color=icon-blue] Lessons learned from blogging : Don’t be forever alone, interact with others.
I started my blogging journey alone. What I learned I taught to those who wanted to know. But I isolated myself from the community, thinking myself better. But as Mason Dixon’s coach inĀ Rocky Balboa said
“There’s always somebody out there.”
Join Blogging communities on Facebook, Google+. There are several to get you started. Once you are part of an actively thriving community then you get more chances to learn from others.
– said by the Jailer in The Shawshank Redemption.Ā By this I mean that you should know your strengths and weaknesses. What are your strengths as a blogger? Are you a good writer? Are you a good logo designer/graphic designer? Whatever your skill, first analyse it! And then market it properly.
I would have surely written, points 7, 8 and 9. But today is my Birthday, so let me focus on my family. And that’s the final lesson for every blogger out there š Always love your family, make them your first and foremost priority!

blogging is easy but how to maintain a site and post to get in the competition and lead its difficult , i have learned allot from my 2008 blogging at that time Url features early in google and peoples dominates.
Yes Rauf, it’s the maintenance which requires persistence. And without persistence people do falter. Because “The training is nothing. Will is Everything!”
I agree with what you’ve said, Aditya! Especially number 5, which I noticed not many bloggers are actually doing it. Many bloggers are very talented but they tend to forget that interacting with others is also part of blogging and equally deserves their attentions! Glad you learned your lesson š LOL
You are right. Blogging is not easy. It requires hard work and passion. Just seen your post in Techism group it was hard to believe that you still have PR 0 because you have awesome posts and backlinks too ( checked alexa ) . Keep on blogging . Never give up .. You are a good blogger with nice writing skills
