I think the next biggest reason why so many fail is because most people are not prepared to put the time, effort and thought into making their blogs successful, it is easier to be a wage slave for ever more.

I just had to Tweet it. I think it nails one big problem down with blogging, unreasonable expectation, very nicely! This one was too funny jack! I just had to Tweet it.

I still have my days where I don't want to write and I have to tell myself that winners do what others don't want to do so they do what they want to when no one else can. Or something like that. Either way this is a great eye opener for many and I love this: Q: If I am on disability, a fixed income, have no fingers, don’t own a computer, and have to shave my back twice a month, can I still be a million dollar blogger? A: Yes. Yes you can! Please send your money to me so I can show you how to be a success at blogging Boy have I learned this the hard way.just like everyone else here!

A blog is simply a business, that's it. If you treat it like a business you will have the same ups and downs as every business owner has. At this point a blog has to bring something new and unique to the table in order to really generate some income but even then they pour their blood, sweat and tears into it. Oh yeah, lots of traffic helps too. I think too many people think they can just launch a blog and see their bank accounts fill up. A blog is simply a business, that’s it.

You are so very right. I've come to realize more and more just how much success depends on mindset and the way people treat their online business. It really is a matter of choosing to treat your blog like a hobby or a real business. Its so easy when we are online to not take things as seriously, that's why every chance I get I "pretend" that I have a brick-and-mortar business (I know it sounds dumb, but hear me out!) If I put myself in that frame of mind and ask myself, if I was a "real" business what would sell? How would I treat my customers? How would I advertise? Would the message that I have for my audience on my blog be something I would say to someone face-to-face? By treating a blog through that mindset everything seems so much more real and professional.
