Find Time for Your Profitable Niche Blog

Finding time is always difficult. It seems I have never enough time to do everything that needs to be done or that I want to do: to study, write, work, read and play chess.

One way to help me in having time for my blogs is to reduce time I spend reading other people's blogs. After reading blogs for several years, I have come to the conclusion that most of the blogs really are crap.

They are badly written, recycle same old information from blog to blog, using the same old emarketing tricks that have been written about in blogs, ebooks and printed books.

In fact, there are only a few really good blogs that I want to read: Dosh Dosh, Problogger and Zenhabits. Some good blogs are bubbling under the Top Three, but time waits for no one.

If you want to write your own blog, you have to concentrate on that fully. Don't read other people's blogs more than necessary. Reading blogs is really waste of time - except for the time spent reading my blog, of course!

I suggest that you read some good books instead. Books are the memory of the humankind, in books we have collected our private and common wisdom for centuries, even for millenia. By reading the classics you will probably learn a lot more interesting and useful stuff than by reading badly written blogs. You learn to write better, you learn about literature, economics, arts and the human nature. In fact, you will soon realize that Wikipedia really is nothing compared with a good library.

And there is one more pro for reading books: you find new ideas for your niche blog. As most of the bloggers just recycle news and other bloggers' ideas your blog will be refreshingly different when you have found some "new" information from printed books.

In this way, reading old dusty books helps you to become a better blogger.

  1. i quote "Reading blogs is really waste of time" -- i really don't think so! hopping and reading different posts of our fellow bloggers will not be a waste of time as it is mind feeding, i can learn many random things from petty to serious one, JUST LIKE READING THIS POST YOU'VE WRITTEN! i am learning here.. hehehe..

    but i also agree, reading books can also help us create good inputs in our blogs!

  2. Thanks for the comment!

    Sometimes one has to be provocative to get any feedback at all from my few readers ;-)

  3. Blogging means investing time in reading or writing a blog is no way of wasting your time. It will always give you some good things at the end of the day. These days many bloggers are earning a lot of bucks out of it by Adsense.

    Thanks
