    Hello all,

    I am doing a project whose mission is to help bloggers. It'd be awesome if I could have your feedback on your top 3 challenges you have on daily basis(e.g. monetization, low traffic, bad time management, creativity issues,etc).

    This is also my super quick survey & you'd be my hero if you fill it out. fluidsurveys.com/s/website-owners-survey/ Thanks in advance!

    - Brainstorming worthy ideas (especially after you've written hundreds of posts)
    - Finding relevant traffic from new sources (growth)
    - Getting to the top of SERPs with keywords that are actually profitable

    Market competition (All Bloggers want to rank 1st in search engine)
    Content making in a regular basis without decreasing it's quality
    Converting the traffic to a source for income (i use affiliate marketing, some may use adsense or own services to do this)

    My problem is that I'm often too lazy to write. When it only takes half an hour or so for a decent post, I still don't do it and work on other stuff. I'm always delaying - I will do it tomorrow, I will write and schedule a ton of posts over the weekend,.... etc... But I never do it. So I guess my biggest problem is the lack of motivation since I don't actually see money coming directly from a post I've written.

    I also write articles for clients and translate. I always know how much I will get for a specific article or a translation. That's why I always seem to prefer this to working on my blog, even though the blog could actually be more profitable in the long run.

    Just curious, what type of traffic you are after?

    1. Organic Traffic
    2. Paid Traffic

    Organic (free) traffic is hard to get especially when Google rolls out new updates like anything.

    You should try paid traffic especially social media traffic from FB.

    I tried once but failed. My site is around 3 years old but still I am unable to manage it properly. I have invested good amount but failed totally. All the contents are good and unique. Just need to do proper marketing now. It's adsense approved but no enough earning.

    Driving traffic to any site isn't easy.

    If you have wasted a lot of money in marketing, trust me you haven't actually wasted that money, in fact, you have learned what not to do to fail in marketing.

    And this means a lot. I really mean a lot.

    Here is the deal.

    When we are talking about paid traffic, testing and tweaking is the main part. Testing needs money - of course. But with every new ad, campaign that you built, and that doesn't work for you, you learn something.

    Soon you will reach a point where you will have a winning formula that will have zero failure components. Every time you fail and waste money on a marketing strategy, you unintentionally omit the component that resulted in failure, and this is your success. Soon you will have a marketing strategy that will be free from all failures.

    But of course, it comes at a cost - at times a lot of cost.

    Nevertheless, you don't have to lose hope.

    If something is not working, there should be a reason for it. There should be something that's making it not work, you have to find that issue with your marketing strategy.

    Yeah correct. I'hve learned many things in 3 years, That's right.
    Well, hope for the best. Now I want to return and I will do proper work. I want good traffic on my both sites and I will find some ways for it.
