You press the submit button to your next big idea to introduce students to the world. Finally, this would be the one that pulls in some real traffic. Up to this point, the majority of your visits come from you and your parents.
Amateur golfer (image is author of own)Crack your bubble when you check your Web traffic and realize that this was not the. If only you could like to your blog page, your Facebook friends than you would have some legit numbers! You've been asked time and time again, however, and most of them don't come through. Your subscriber count remains the same.
Life as an amateur blogger is not fun, but it reminds me of my experience as an amateur golfer. I say that out loud my sub-par capacities (pun intended) not worthy of my anger. But that doesn't prevent me getting upset with every ball that bounces in the brush slechtzittende. Check out the picture: I'm so bad!
For a few months I only blogged on my current site. Of course I don't expect great traffic or a large subscriber base. Not numb the pain, however, that of a hard reality!
Are you embarrassed to admit that you are an amateur on anything? Admission so can make you feel worthless. Our culture teaches us that it is better to than to admit that you're not good at something.
My name is Dan, and I am an amateur blogger.
I started blogging in 2007, but it was one of those blogs one month. You know the kind: you all fired up, pay for a website or sign up for a blog account, three blog posts, and quickly be discouraged if you don't write all visits. That's what my was, but I appreciate my parents, brother and friend Ryan for click on it!
I'm back at it again and now I'm not afraid to admit that I am an amateur blogger. It's easy to start a blog, but it is not easy to successfully create a blog.
I am now convincing myself that life should be enjoyed as an amateur blogger. Here are the reasons why.
Life as an amateur gives me room to grow, and the humility to accept that my first ideas will probably not my best. It will allow me to kill some of my ideas without feeling like I am part of myself to kill.
This is relevant to more than blogging. Charlie Munger said: "If Berkshire Hathaway a modest progress had been made, because it is a good deal of Warren [Buffett] and I are very good at destroying our own most beloved ideas. Each year that you destroy one of your most popular ideas is probably not a lost year. "
I am an amateur. Of course I'm going to have a number of bad ideas! Investing Ben Graham made an observation that is analogous to real life, when he said, "good ideas than bad investments cause more doom ideas." Are your good blogging ideas giving you more pain than your bad ideas?
Confirmation of my life as an amateur I myself can not comply with the high standards of a professional. However, I am forced to know that I am ruthless should strive to get to that point.
Professionals got where they are because of the many years of hard work. As I said in my previous guest post, problogger.net put Malcolm Gladwell that amount of practice on outliers10,000 hours in his book. If you try directly to the professionals, you will be frustrated quickly, that can lead to an overwhelming feeling of inadequacy.
However, you must realize that it is possible to get on that point, just as they did. You are not willing to put a lot of time, you will likely join the death of my first blog. As they say, was not problogger.net built in a day.
This is my favorite part of life as an amateur. I am passionate about helping others to get out of debt and take control over their lives. I do it, although I am not a professional; I make no money and it's a lot of hard work.
The Call, In his book, Os Guinness explains it as the following, "to our disgrace we have taken the word amateur, moderns against the professionalism and excellence, and turned it in a matter of tepid motives and counterfeit results.
"But amateur, as G.K. Chesterson never tired to say, means" love. " Man must love a thing very much when he's not only the practice without any hope of Fame or money, but even the practices without any hope of doing it right. "
This does not give you a free pass to sub-par work and your ambition to strive for excellence should not cap. However, it does not prevent something just because you're not a professional. Your message is important because you can help others, and it's worth. G.K. Chesterson also said, "If there is one thing, it's worth worth bad do!"
I can guarantee you one thing: If you have something bad long enough, but you are trying to improve and are passionate about, the more quickly will not bad!
These are the three reasons I am proud of my amateur title, but it doesn't mean that I want to continue longer than I have! I am so excited about my topic that I know I can be a professional; It just needs time. If I continue to work hard and not get discouraged, can I make it and help many people.
Have you prepared to live as an amateur in the hope of one day a professional? You have a voice, don't be afraid to use it!
