Do you think Google Ruins Creativity?

No Offence Google, but you will agree with me that this statement is true to some extent.

People start blogging and write what they like to express, Blogging is a platform where anyone can convey his views and thoughts on any subject and share it with the world. People who never get any opportunity to be heard can now beautifully communicate their opinion through blogging. I consider it as one of the form of art and yes it needs lot of creativity and visualization.

Then on one fine day someone visit your blog and comment “Hey buddy your blog is not very SEO friendly”

You ask yourself “now what the hell this SEO is?’ and then they explain you “ Brother you need to write in such a way that google index your blog posts in their Search Engine Result Page [SERP] better, you should stuff your article with some Keyword that people are searching  for”

Slowly and very firmly you start believing that google is your GOD. You start writing your articles in more Google Friendly ways, you start stuffing your post with lot of KEYWORDS that people out there are searching in google. You try to find out what people are hunting right now on internet and frame your posts around those subjects. As a Result you notice that you are now doing better in google and there is surely an increase in your visitor’s Traffic. And then you do everything to PLEASE google.

But somehow somewhere it hampers your creative writing.

You start your blog for your own pleasure and writing what you always love to but one day you realize that you are writing for google.

Share your opinion “Are you still writing for your own pleasure or to do better in Google?”

I love to see your reaction on this.

Concentrate On What You Like And Then Go For It

One of my friend who just started blogging talked to me last night, he said he is doing it but actually don’t like it. His blog is about latest job opportunity and complete management solution for corporate. He told me that he don’t like to write stuff on this subject but still continuing with it , should he stop writing on that subject and start a brand new blog on the topic of his interest?

Well that was a tough call, people are doing so many things in their life which actually they want  to do or for which they don’t feel any passion,  but I guarantee you that nothing can stop you to get succeed if you are doing the things you are passionate about. You must have a passion for your blog niche; otherwise you will get bored soon and be hit by this strange phenomenon called writer’s block.

So before starting a new blog you must be sure that you have passion and interest about your blog niche.

Concentrate On Your Niche

This is very important, while reading through your blog your reader must have a kind of feeling that you have complete authority on your subject. It should be reflected in your writings. You cannot go along with the things you don’t like.

Concentrate On Your Audience

You must concentrate on what type of readers comes to your blog; your readers always have some kind of idea about what sort of things they will find on your blog. So you must write your posts around your blog niche. Otherwise it will look like a mix bag of scrap.

Concentrate On Your Community

Ensure your twitter followers are of your niche, it will be a better idea to make friends on facebook related to your interest, you must build a strong community on other social media sites like digg and blogcatalog with likeminded friends and bloggers.

If you have a blog on a subject for which you don’t have any interest then I will advise you to change your blog niche and go with the one in which you feel comfortable and passionate.

It’s All In Your Mind My Brother

We win half the battle when we make up our minds to take the world as we find it. This rule applies in every sphere. Blogging and Make Money Online Business is also goes the same way. All big boys and super affiliates’ talks about managing the mind power and mind set.

A mindset, in decision theory and general systems theory, refers to a set of assumptions, methods or notations held by one or more people or groups of people which is so established that it creates a powerful incentive within these people or groups to continue to adopt or accept prior behaviors, choices, or tools

Actually it’s very true that your mindset is what will take you there, before earning a single penny from your online business you need to set your mind to make it think like a millionaire, or should I say you need to think how a millionaire thinks.

I don’t need to preach you on mind power. A lot has been said on mind’s great abilities, Mindset is the first thing you need to manage first. If you think you can make it then definitely you can do it.

Sometime we accept our defeat before fighting out. I always like to refer Amit Mehta’s’ success story how he made himself a millionaire from just a dead broke by changing only one thing and that’s his mindset. He started thinking that he can achieve success in Online Entrepreneurship, and we all know what he has made him today. I ask you once how much confident you are about your success? well thats the first thing that you need to make sure.

If you think you can’t get the success in your online endeavor chances are that you will lose somewhere in between.

So this is a short post just to share with you this great thought that to be a successful online entrepreneur first you need to deal with your mindset and start thinking like how a successful Online entrepreneur  believes.

One Big Thing That Holds You Back From Blogging

I heard this morning someone very intellectual was saying that one should fix that one big thing which holds you to compete with others. Right said brother. I link this whole conversation to blogging. Tell me which is the one big thing which holds you back from blogging.

Once I quoted somewhere on this blog that blogging is not really as sensational as its seems . I believe there are so many tough string attached to blogging. You have to tune every string to compose your rhythm divine.

Okay I guess you understand what I am asking you guys, which are the most difficult thing you find in blogging which holds you back to compete with other bloggers. Let me guess what going on in your mind.

Writer’s Block.

You wonder how so many bloggers write a new post everyday but you find it difficult to write even at alternate days. Some time you stuck up with writer’s block, you start a blog write good back o back great post and suddenly find there is nothing left to say about.

Technicalities

Or you think blogging is too much a tech geek job, you find it difficult to upgrade your blog on time or failed to do so on many occasions. You find it difficult to fight with themes, layouts, CSS and then give up.

Great Article but No Readers

You may be a good writer but to be a successful blogger you must learn the art of mastering Google and other social media sites to send visitors to your blog. Is this thing make you uncomfortable to blog further and hold you back. Is it the most difficult task of blogging.

Mystification about the niche of your blog

One thing which can hold you back may be that you always get confused on which subject you should fashion your blog. On which subjects you are comfortable to write about.

I tell you a story about my friend, he started blogging a couple of months back, everything was going fine, he really wrote some great posts but after some seven or eight odd posts he find it difficult to continue writing on the same subject. When ever he think to write a new post he feel that it will not fit in the blog niche; Guess what, he open a new blog every time he plan to writ a new blog and see he now has some twelve blogs with twenty post posts. With this speed he will be soon holding tons of blogs spreading tons of scraps everywhere.

Okay these were few things which can force you or may hold you back from blogging to beat your competitors.

This post is incomplete, give your inputs in comments and complete it by telling which are the big things which hold back one to blog and compete.

Against All Odds

Let’s go off topic again, I am writing this post to let my new subscribers, who just join me under the ongoing contest, know that I usually write these sort of off topic inspiration stuff once or twice in a month. Although niche of this blog is to instruct how to make money online but I write these articles to soothe my inner creative mind’s quench. If you dig out archive page you will many of them where I ask my readers when you did last time celebrate your success. Or what excuses you makes when you are not successful or like rejuvenate your blogging mood, Life Is Calling Where Are You? Chase your dreams, Do Not Blog for Money Blog for Your Passion etc.

Now if you remember, more often, when you do not get the success you are craving for or when all your efforts to get that triumph get down then  you start feeling as everything thing is going out of your hands, you start thinking that nothing is happening in your favor. You feels that the whole world seems to bring you down and don’t want to see you there; even your small strive descend to earth. You start asking yourself why it is happening with me. Why everything is going against me? Why everyone who come up in your way attempt to prove that you wrong, every one try to preach you that you have so many problems with you. It ultimately shakes your confidence and makes you believe that may be you can not become that big as you think to be. Let me write down my take to overcome this type of situations.

[1] You are not the only one in this world

This world is a big place, every one have to accomplish his little share of success so the myth that every one is targeting at you can’t be true. In the context of this whole world you seem to be a very small prey. The reason is that you try to associate every unsuccessful attempt to this theory that the whole world is against you. It’s a childish thought. You associate it with your bad luck and fate. For instance your computer hang up when you need it most, you want something desperately and found that it is out of stock. Your mobile battery gets down when you have to make an important call. It happens with all of us, believe me, you are not the only one living with it. It’s with all of us. So don’t feel that you the one surrounded with such thing. You are not alone.

[2] If it is against your will then it’s a God’s will

Surely you heard about this great super star of Indian Film Industry Amitabh Bachchan. There is a very interesting story about this guy. When he was young he wanted to become a Radio News Reader.  He gave his voice audition but rejected by the authorities at All India Radio. They told him that his voice is too husky and not suitable for a news reader. This was heartbreaking for Mr. Bachchan, he felt as everything has been finished. His father Mr. Harivansh Rai Bachchan then make him trust that “if anything which happens to you is against your wish then the God surely has something else in his store for you”. This saying proved absolutely right. He tried his hand at movies and become the first ever super star in Indian film fraternity. Still at the age of 58 years he is ruling the Indian celluloid screen.

So you never know what life has in store for you. You think that its all over but the life moves on and suddenly you find yourself claiming your stake at a different arena. So never ever give up.

[3] Why Me?

How many times you ask this question when you find yourself trapped in an adverse situation, well almost every time. But how many times you ask the same question to yourself when you have an upper hand on others. I guess never ever. So when you do not ask this question when you achieve success then why you ask when you fail. There is a famous saying “if you do what you always you will get what you always get”. It’s as simple as that.

[4] Most cherished success stories are of those who fight against all odds

If you have a look at the most talked about success stories of the world you will find that all these great personalities become successful fighting all over their life against inverse situations. Be it the success story of Walt Disney, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Michael Jackson or about the Biggest Indian Industrialist Dhirubhai Ambani. Remember one thing; success is sweetest to those who find it with difficulties. So more problems means there is chance that you will become successful one day.

[5] Learn the art of calmness

Becoming cool and calm in odd situations is the art which you learn as the time passes by. It comes with maturity. After a certain age you will find that you react on same odd situation more calmly then you used to respond when you were young. That’s why I say it comes with the age.  But if you can learn this in early age of your life then I will say you are really a genius. Learn this art quickly and become a Guru.
