You’re not willing to put in the work
This one is related to the previous ones. People who expect to have it all overnight don’t know that succeeding as a blogger requires to put in the effort on a daily basis.
For example, if you plan to go on a vacation for a week, you first need to prepare all the content and articles you’re going to provide to your readers
If you view yourself from Google or your readers perpective, they’re used to a specific amount of weekly activity in your blog, so it’s better that you don’t fail them no matter what.

You’re not interested in anything
What if you don’t have any interest? Or perhaps you’re passionate about something but you just lack motivation so you feel like that there’s nothing that really fulfils you. I’ve felt like this before and I know how it sucks.
I encourage you to try new things everyday and most important, get out of your comfort zone. This is a way to get to know yourself better, which will eventually lead you to find your passions.

You don’t like working with an electronic device
Maybe you’re one of those people who don’t like anything related to technology.
Or perhaps you believe that you need to have programming or coding skills, but let me tell you that you don’t need to be an expert in technology to become a successful blogger.
I know it helps to have technical skills, but the truth is that there are many bloggers (included myself lol) who didn’t know a thing about it before getting started, and we’ve all been learning along the way

Writing is unpleasant to you
Writing is an essential task of a blogger, so if writing is boring to you then I don’t recommend that you start a blog, since you’ll find it hard to keep up
Maybe you don’t know what to write about or you don’t have any idea. If that’s the case I suggest that you focus on what you’re good at, what you’re passionate about or your knowledge about a specific topic.
That’s why having an interest or a passion is really important before getting into blogging.

You don’t want to interact with strangers
If you don’t like to connect with people you don’t know, then I don’t recommend that you start a blog becauseyou’ll need to interact with your readers and other bloggers or Internet marketers to share ideas, opinions and help each other.
You don’t have time to post in a regular basis
It’s important that you post articles or another type of content in a regular basis in order to help and connect with your readers.
Maybe you think that you don’t have time because you’re busy with another daily tasks or you have a full-time job, but the more you like the niche/topic you choose the more time you’ll make to dedicate to it. We always make time for the things we love
You’re worried about your reputation
Blogs have a bad reputation for some people.
Let’s say that you’re an employee who works for a big corporation. It could be kind of risky like who knows what you could say about that corporation in your blog.
Or perhaps your boss could suspect that you spend your day working on your blog instead of doing your daily tasks as an employee.
Anyway, if you’re an employee who’s thinking of starting a blog, I recommend that you avoid talking about stuff related to the company you’re working at.

What if you want to start a blog?
There can be a lot of reasons not to create a blog, some of them the ones I’ve mentioned in this article.
But what if you don’t think that these reasons should prevent you from getting started? What if you feel ready to start a blog no matter what? Then go ahead.
In case that you don’t know where or how to get started in your blogging journey, I suggest that you check out Wealthy Affiliate.
I believe WA is a great platform to get started because you can join for free and start building a website/blog. You’ll also learn how to choose a niche, how to create content, ways to monetize your blog… and sooo much more
Another good thing is that you’ll get help and support from me and other bloggers and online entrepreneurs so you never feel lost or stuck.
