Ever got tired of blogging? Ever felt like it wasn't working for you? You have been blogging for months - yet, there isn't any tangible proof that you're going up or doing the right thing. You research for long hours all in the name of write compelling and wonderfully detailed posts on your blog; still, after posting it on your blog, you get little or no traffic and the worst thing - No comment. You spend hours on end writing powerful guest posts for different authority blogs in your niche. You're so confident that your posts will be accepted; you have done your research fantastically well; you have read their guest posting guidelines and followed everyone to the letter. Proofreading is old news – since you have already proofread the guest post like a million times and your editing are all in order. Being confident and in high spirit you pitch them your post and wait for their wonderful reply. Their reply that says – "Hi dear, we at example.com really like your post and will publish it tomorrow – be ready to engage and reply our vast readers; since thousands of people will be reading it" is all you ever want to see. You're already dreaming big; your blog traffic will increase drastically, followers will increase, you may even get your first client if your guest post is eventually accepted. Wonderful dream it is – only for it to be short-lived when you receive a reply that your guest post isn't what they are looking for. Random questions will start to swing around your head. What are the things I'm doing wrong? Is blogging not for me? Is my hard work not hard enough? Or is my writing that bad?

Or you are contemplating on making it similar to the one above? Believe me – you're not alone. I've once been in a similar situation like the one above. But I didn't stay there for long; I was able to stop myself from giving up by reading motivational quotes of successful people and tried to understand what drives them to succeed in hard times like the story above.
