Blogging is a lot of fun, but bloggers also run into some problems. This article will help you be informed of some of these problems so you will know exactly what to do when you affront them. If you pay attention to this your experience as a blogger will continue to be fun and your blog will improve.

The three problems most bloggers deal with include:

• Burnout

• Sameness

• Lack of Focus

The first problem is burnout. When you first start your blog, everything is new and exciting and you write with all your passion. You may have a lot of great plans, ideas and expectations. However, it is probable that things you didn’t expect turn out such as becoming bored with writing about the same topic all the time or realizing that it can take some time to produce a substantial income.

Feeling frustrated is not necessarily good or bad. You should know that these feelings are what can make or break you as a blogger. Remember that "what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger". If you give up, you'll never know what it's like to be a successful blogger. If you are consistent and go past this frustration you can become extremely successful. The majority of bloggers give up, so make sure it doesn't happen to you.

The next most common problem is what I call sameness. This has to do with the fact that it can be hard for bloggers to find their "niche." You may know what your blog will be about and you might even have it very focused, but this doesn't mean your blog will stand out from the crowd. In order for you to gain the most loyal followers possible you need to do something that make you stand out above the others. You might run special contests, write in a unique "voice" using humor or other forms of unique writing, or just come up with something that is absolutely off the wall; this may totally appeal to your audience.

Finally, the last problem many bloggers face is the lack of focus. We've already discussed that it's hard to stay motivated past the early stages, and this problem often leads to a lack of focus. You started out writing a blog about weddings for example, but you quickly got discouraged and get sidetracked blogging on a different site about sports instead. This is closely related to the first issue. You will need to persevere. Even if you feel like you just can't focus on this topic, you need to realize that jumping from one thing to the other will only hold you back from reaching your goals.

Of course there are other problems that people in the blogosphere encounter as well. The difference between those who do well and those who don’t is their determination. If you are determined to earn enough income to replace your job, you are going to need to know about these problems and think about a plan to get around them.

Remember, blogging can be great; however it will take a specific mindset to really make it and become a successful blogger.
