I nearly gave up with mine recently but I think actually what might also be problem is not only the patience thing, its the fact that people don’t know what they don’t know in order to make their blog better..

You just assume you are rubbish and give up way too soon.

I have only got a very small number of subscribers (less than 50) but hey I must have something that people are interested in and they have stayed with me since I started… only 1 unsubscribe. I am very proud of that achievement. And it will get better the more I learn.

I have been reading much more about blogging and am learning rather than giving up and rolling over…

You never achieve anything worthwhile without effort.

Good luck to all the bloggers out there..

Of course you are indeed right – there is always a lot of work to get a Business Blog up and running correctly and even more to keep it growing. I notice that you have started to get inbound links, sign ups to your RSS feeds and therefore readers, so I wish you well in growing those further!

All the best, Mark

You mention that you find you drift topics on your own blog. That isn’t necessarily an issue but for many blogs it can be. With Business Blogs, the lack of an goal for the blog is the single most common cause for them to be abandoned simply because there is no clear direction and this is often accompanied by no real idea of what their target readership is looking to read. If that understanding is there, then drifting between topics isn’t a problem, because the posts still cover topics that you want to write about and your readers want to read.
