Why Artist Blogs Fail

Are you wondering if blogging will work for you?

Here is the number one reason artist blogs fail.

Never Get Started

The number one reason an artist fails at blogging is that they never start.

Most artists struggling to sell art online know they need to start an art blog if they genuinely want to build a following.

Why do many artists turn their heads to blogging when the facts are right in front of them?

Common reasons artists never start blogging:

• They do not know where to start.
• They are insecure about their writing skills.
• They feel people will not want to read about them.
• They feel like they have nothing exciting to say.
• They are afraid to succeed.
• They do not want to put in the time to learn how to blog.
• They want instant results.

All of these reasons are just roadblocks that are preventing artists from reaching their potential.

I will be the first one to tell you. There is a lot of learning you will need to do in order for your blog to be successful.

You will not see any results if you post here, and there, you need to have a strategy.

I will also be the first one to tell you, that blogging does work.

It took me under two years of learning and writing to reach almost 30,000 unique page views per month on my blog.

Now my website generates over 100,000 page views every month.

I could have never done that just on social media networks.

In fact, I have posts that I wrote two years ago that are still generating traffic.

You, too, can have the same success as long as you start. That is all you have to do is just start.

Do not put it off until next week.
