While I am writing and preparation of the article is more serious, fill a pause in the new survey on the blog and stock of old. Looking ahead to say that the subject of the next vote would relate to blogging – namely, the problems that arise in the process of the blog and do not give the author realized 100%. Online, you can say hundreds of thousands of different blogs every day, their number has increased, but in the end really decent and "tenacious" projects not so much. On the causes of such trends will talk in the poll, meanwhile, can take up the last vote – how much you work – here is what visitors to your blog:
In principle, the results were fairly smoothly, but generally produces the following picture. Most paid work very much time – 24% work 6-7 days a week, 15% "almost without rest" and 12% feel that "a lot of work". Another proof that online as offline and you need to spend to work very, very long time. For someone a difficult period of continuous employment is only for the first 1-2 years of development and becoming, after which they they calm down. Someone has to live in a constant rhythm. If you're among them-remember 2 things "do not save all the money and not, in fact, is happiness" and "without regular rest, labour productivity and efficiency begins to limp". Work 7 days a week is a horror.
The second category of replies by frequency – people who work as usual with the standard schedule, 5 days a week, 18% within the normal working day 13%. The "last place" those who are few: 3-4 days a week, 8%, easy tune 6%. Of course, these results fully cannot give concrete answers to the questions on your blog readers, but the overall picture is more or less clear: most actually work a lot. They would like to wish that these costs were tangible and solid returns in the form of earnings achieved and goals reached.
Not that there were "serious problems of blogging", but lately, it seems to me, this process slightly pougasla. A micro-blogging, Twitter, intensified becoming more opportunities for mobile posting (new services, smartphones), social networks, you can now publish much on the wall. Some reasons for what went on in blogging (self-realisation, communication), in fact, became available in other, simpler ways. Recently discussed this issue in an interview with Dmitry Naumov, who agree that the classic blogging of course will not disappear, but perhaps will be transformed into a more global, collective projects. In General, if we talk about the Internet, you can probably identify the following issues of blogging:
You can vote for 3 issues. I have identified, first, "there is no expected returns" – blogging comes a lot of writers who want to make or obtain "popularity", but this is not so quickly and easily reach, so the lion's share of new projects are doomed to close. The author just doesn't feel that his project is able to fulfil the objectives which he set before him. You need to understand that setting up a blog in itself does nothing, and you want to invest time and money.
Furthermore, compared with the English segment, it seems to me in Runet enough advertisers who can order ads on blogs and that generally focused on blogs. Recently the situation has levelled out, the system for advertising on blogs, for example the same Rotaban is proved. Market for Internet projects and services like as is, but somehow almost none focuses on advertising on blogs.
All the reasons, if well see more or less intertwined. Suppose a new blogger creates your project for self-fulfillment and parallel. After some time he sees that yield the minimum site, advertisers in its niche, so there is the impact that the author had expected. Along with this he could have the same success to develop competitive sites or topics klepaniem TOS – why blogging is. Therefore, third my reason – "work better than write".
If every blogger has been guaranteed an opportunity to create good, high-quality personal project and make the most of quality, these blogs would have been far greater. While you should understand that blogging is not as easy as it may seem at first glance. Here you need to deal not only texts but also the development of their project is to promote free, searchable or social practices. In any case, to achieve the objectives of the time required, it is a pity that not everyone is willing to wait for and dedication to work.
Maybe blogging has no problems and it seemed to me that think? What other problems can be identified?
