Staying Consistent As A Blogger

Blogging can become really frustrating when it isn't turning out the results you wanted. It is really easy to start blogging but it takes extra to keep it running and carve a niche in the blogging world. Staying consistent is actually the key to earn well and retain audience because people love fresh post
One sure way to be consistent is by writing on topics you enjoy or excites you. When it is about things that interest you, you will feel motivated to write and put more effort into it. Unlike writing something you have no idea on, of course you won't feel inclined to write. And when you are not consistent you would be losing people's attention.
By posting consistently about topics you enjoy , not only would you be building a fan base but you would be carving a niche for yourself as well and this could open doors of opportunities for you. If you post once in a blue moon, people won't know when to come back for more and ultimately you'll lose their attention.
Another way to be consistent is by setting blogging goals. This will help you to be more focused as well as prioritize blogging. By making goals, you know where you want your blog to be in the next 6 months or one year and you'll make plans to get there. When a plan is in place, it's important that you are professional and follow it up with action.
By making plans you won't be waiting until dying minutes to start racking your brain for ideas, not only will this frustrate you but kill your vibe entirely. It's important that you plan your blogging calendar, when you will write and when you will post them. You can create schedules to help you plan your blogging activities better as well. By doing this you can monitor your progress as well as know where to put more effort.
Keeping a journal handy will also help you stay consistent. Often times ideas pop up and it's important that you write them as soon as possible because you may never remember them again. With a journal full of ideas you'll have more ideas to work on as well as more articles to release on your blog.
Eliminating distractions will also help you be consistent. If you keep getting distracted by things around you, writing will become difficult and so consistency as well. If social media is a source of distraction for you, you can take a break from it. If it's your family you can take a trip to a library to get your work done. You know what your distractions are and so it's important that you take steps to eliminate them so you can be consistent with blogging.
Hello friend, sometimes it is not easy for everyone to remain constant on the platforms and more when you do not receive adequate support, but I think that constancy always receives its benefit. Writing is not for everyone, I have met people who do not see it as something attractive so with them it is better to give up and go ahead with what we do, I know this has a lot of future and I will continue writing. Greetings.
Hello @valchiz
I agree with you regarding eliminating distractions, certainly these are the number 1 cause of losing or not having consistency.
Excellent reading, thank you for sharing.

It really isn't easy to be a consistent blogger especially when the monetary inflow isn't so rewarding, but then it pays off finally.
Consistency is a key to success. Keeping handy journal is important, but now technology has helped in that area with note apps. You can just open your phone and note down the essential information you have just grabbed. Thanks for sharing with us
It is hard to be consistence on steem/hive. The issue is that you don't have many metrics here. How many people actually read your posts? This is the value you want to check and this is where you want your blog to progress. You want people to read your content, share it, comment on it. You don't get much of this on this platform.
The act of blogging demands serious extra efforts and consistency, it demands that we give our complete attention and that means we need to let go of any distracting activity.
Consistency is very good for everyone. If you do proper work with dedication you will be always successful in life.
