How To Motivate Yourself To Write The Next Blog Post

how to motivate yourself to write

It’s been almost three years since I started blogging. Many people wonder and ask me how I still find enough motivation to write one blog post every single day. Frankly, it is hard to explain. All I can say I certainly can’t live without writing.  Having said that, I also face with some performance drops in writing. In this post I will explain how I can still motivate myself to write the next blog post.

I Have A Dream

I try to see the big picture in whatever I do in my life. I don’t focus on short term benefits. I got mastered at thinking ahead, and being proactive. I can sacrifice today for a better future. I have very clear vision in my mind about my future. I truly know where I am going.

I Am Rocky Balboa of Blogging

Last year I left my full time job to become a problogger. I have to prove myself not only to others, but also to my family. Sometimes I feel like I am Rocky Balboa, and listening “Eye Of The Tiger” while writing. Every new blog post means a strong punch from me :) What a huge motivation!

I Listen To Rock Music While Blogging

I like Rock music very much. I observed that I find flow in writing when I listen to Rock music. Even if I am in a negative mood, Rock music helps me get over my problems. Therefore I can focus on writing much better than before.

On the other hand, I can not see any difference between a problogger and a rock musician.  They both swim against the stream. In a country like mine (Turkey) many people consider a problogger as an Alien :) I have recently launched a new blog, www.profesyonelblogcu.com (“problogger” in Turkish) to introduce problogging to Turkish bloggers.

I Don’t Really Care About Top Bloggers

I realized that “so called” top bloggers are making some serious money by selling the dream of making money with blogs to other bloggers. Result: majority of the bloggers are still making less than $15 per month. This is not fair. Therefore I did not really care about what they say. I want to discover the truth by my own experiences. I don’t waste most of my time reading them. My mission is to turn things upside down in the blogosphere.  This is a big motivator for me.

Well, that’s all from me. How about you? How do you motivate yourself to write the next blog post? I will be glad to learn from your experiences.

      Yeah, think about your own blog post rather than spending most of your time appreciating top bloggers.
