Staying Motivated When You Aren’t Seeing Results

Posted by on 29th Aug 2010 Blogging 32 comments

Do you feel like you’ve been working your backside off getting your blog or website in front of the public and just not seeing the results you thought you would? Is it time to give up and throw in the towel?

I wouldn’t go that far but it may be time to pull some new tricks out of an old hat. Take a look at what you’ve been doing. Is there anything you can improve? Do you post quality content? Is your blog or website one big ad campaign? Do you have a newsletter that’s updated on a regular basis? Are people signing up or ignoring it?

How much information have you read about building your blog and growing your readership? Have you just been reading small reports here and there hoping for the answers? Some of the small reports are very good, but most of them don’t give you all the information you need for a successful blog.

One great product I suggest is Online Profits. It contains massive amounts of information and the lessons are broken down into categories. It contains 24 learning models, each full of valuable information to help grow readership and learn to make money online.

Another great product is Zac Johnson’s Six Figure Affiliate Blogging. This report is completely free but Zac gives you tons of information and takes you through his entire process of creating a profitable blog or website.

Another suggestion is to get a business coach. You can find all kinds of coaches online in almost any price range. Business coaches are there to help support you and give you tips on growing your business. Most even offer one on one coaching. Some of my favorites are Sharon Michaels, Dani Johnson, Sheri McConnell, Brian Tracy, Zig Ziglar and Dale Carnegie.

If you haven’t considered using a business coach or even a personal development coach, you could be missing out on a lot. I know I’ve gained a lot more confidence since I plugged in to some of these guys.

Sometimes you just need a break. If you’re motivation is waning and you find that doing the daily work for your business is just draining you, maybe it’s time to step back and take a break—just a short one. Take some time off and think about why you started this venture. What was the purpose? What did you wish to accomplish? Maybe you haven’t lost motivation; maybe you’ve just lost focus of the big picture and the things that meant so much to you in the beginning.

    That is important to stay motivated when our efforts have not yet been well converted :lol: i have been in this case but I felt happy rather than demotivated ;-)

      It's hard to stay motivated. When other things are going on in your life that make it hard to stay with something that isn't yet doing what you hoped, it's nearly impossible to just keep going.

      Thanks for the great advice Patti, and I'm glad you're doing well Tinh.

    I'm guessing you have to pay for them? What about those of who who can not afford to spend, or are just a bit cheap? :P

    Nice reminder and helpful products for a newbie blogger like me. It makes me rethink my blogging purpose.

    Getting a business coach or a mentor is really important. Two heads are always better than one. And there's nothing much more important than having someone guide you, advice you and help you succeed.

    Great post and I must your points are right :razz: . We all need a break and look back on the efforts we had exert on our work, take some time to do a quick study on what we may do wrong or what we miss on a particular task.

    It is really important to believe the hard work you put in to your website is going to come, it just takes time and you have to stay motivated and believe in it. IT does take time but with all the right aspects of an SEO campaign for instance you will soon see the traffic coming in. It does take time and a lot of hard work but you will reap the rewards in the end.

    Useful ideas and suggestions to promote site in a time consuming way. Thanks dude, great post to make use of…..Cheers

    I think with me, I just keep blogging on what I enjoy which is motivation. I love the title of your article because it reminds me of sales. The more you hear "no", the closer you are getting to a "yes". But you cannot hear "no's" unless you are getting in front of people. I think of my blog the same way. If I do not continue to post, I can never get a following. Keep up the great work!

    Really rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. Your idea is outstanding; the issue is something that not enough people are speaking intelligently about.
