No matter how hard you work blogging challenges await on the horizon.
Everyone faces blogging challenges during their careers.
Successful bloggers coast past blogging obstacles. Struggling bloggers make temporary blogging challenges long term blogging pit stops.
Learning how to overcome challenges:
- accelerates your blogging success
- promotes your peace of mind
- gives you experience to share with bloggers
Blogging since 2008 offered me a wide range of blogging obstacles to conquer. I want to help you overcome resistance by sharing my experiences with defeating daunting blogging foes.
Every blogging challenge begins and ends in your mind.
Even if:
- the Google algorithm
- Facebook policy changes
- Twitter policy changes
- difficult clients and customers
- traffic struggles
- profits problems
seem to be “out there” the challenge is just fear in your mind that you project onto the world not unlike a movie projector.
Accept this truth to lose the egoic victim mentality and to create the proper frame of mind to overcome obstacles.
Follow these tips to overcome blogging challenges.
1: Invest Money in Blogging Resources
Learn from professional bloggers how to blog successfully.
Invest money in:
- blogging courses
- blogging manuals
- blog coaching
to discover both how to succeed and how to avoid failure.
For example, I created this online course:
How to Become a Pro Blogger in 5 Steps
based on my blogging experience. I learned what not to do by analyzing my blogging failures. I learned what to do by recounting my blogging successes. This blogging course is a summary of:
- what to do to become a professional blogger
- what not to do to avoid painful blogging struggles blocking a professional blogging career
Literally, you buy 1000’s of blogging experience hours with your money by investing in premium blogging resources. Buying professional blogging resources is buying time you no longer need to waste with making blogging mistakes.
Buying experience lets you leapfrog above common blogging challenges suffered by amateurs too scared to invest money in their blogging success.
Struggling bloggers slam into challenges easily conquered if they’d invest money in learning how to overcome the challenges.
Attempting to piece together fragmented free content through:
- blog posts
- videos
- podcasts
into a coherent, free-flowing blogging education is impossible because blogging overwhelm cripples even the most determined bloggers attempting this approach.
Meanwhile, bloggers who desire success more than fearing money loss simply invest in a blogging course or manual to learn how to overcome challenges.
If some blogging challenge bedevils you 100’s of professional bloggers:
- faced the same challenge
- learned how to overcome the challenge
- explain in vivid detail how to overcome the challenge through courses, eBooks and coaching
Invest money in premium resources to overcome blogging challenges quickly.
Pay your blogging tuition to accelerate your success and to put blogging headaches behind you.
2: Discover the Most Fun and Freeing Reason Why You Blog
Blogging challenges are fear.
Knowing why you blog dissolves both fear and challenges in your mind if you choose a fun, freeing reason to blog.
For example, imagine if you struggle to drive blog traffic and income. Making money through blogging seems impossible to you. But if you blog for the fun and freedom of traveling and helping people do the same you take uncomfortable action to conquer obstacles.

Blogging obstacles dissolve before bloggers who choose freedom over fear. Blogging resistance dissipates before bloggers who desire freedom more than they fear doing uncomfortable things.
Practical Tips
- spend time in quiet finding your most fun, freeing blogging driver
- accept the intensely personal reasons why you blog; parents may blog for freeing their family while a single person may blog to experience the freedom of solo world travel
Most bloggers quit because most bloggers skip this step. Bloggers typically blog to make a few bucks. But overcoming stiff blogging challenges feels impossible if you just want to make some money.
How can you develop a brand new blogging skillset if you want to make an extra $50 a month? Would you face your deep fears for $50 a month? Of course not; people face deep fears to be free. Bloggers face deep fears to experience freedom not to make chump change.
As a new blogger in 2008, I fell in love with the idea of doing what I wanted to do where I wanted to do it. Feeling the freedom of blogging in Fiji, Bali and Costa Rica inspired me to:
- face deep fears
- blog patiently for years
- trust myself
- trust the blogging process
Eventually, I became a world traveling blogger but only because I valued freedom and fun more than avoiding discomfort.
Know why. Tie your reason why to fun and freedom. Overcome blogging challenges by choosing fun and freedom over fear. The moment you cease choosing fear is the moment blogging obstacles begin to evaporate before your eyes.

3: Accept Challenges as Being Part of the Blogging Journey
Every blogger faces obstacles at various stages of the journey.
For example, I faced these obstacles over the past few months:
- Muted Amazon exposure influenced me to remove all 126 eBooks from Amazon to upload a few to Selz, Gumroad and Payhip; completing this process required significant time and energy
- Amazon bought and shuttered Selz receently; loading Selz eBooks and my course to Payhip and reformatting the course for Payhip consumed ample time and energy
- updating old posts to remove all dated Amazon and Selz embeds continues to take significant time and work
Challenges arise even though my blogging career spans back to 2008. New bloggers face obstacles. Veteran bloggers face obstacles. Accepting challenges as inevitable reduces resistance to blogging obstacles.
Stop fighting challenges. Do not deny what is. Get comfortable with learning from challenges to accelerate your success.
For example, patiently removing all eBooks from Amazon to upload a few to Payhip and Gumroad became a necessary step for me to profit freely. I outgrew charging 4 bucks to 10 bucks for full blogging manuals. Charging 10 bucks to 20 bucks for in-depth resources boosted income but also made each manual more visible to blogging customers. I promoted each more effectively by removing the heavy Amazon anchor weighing in my mind for years.
Note; Amazon may be a prospering channel for you but never genuinely worked out for me. Everyone walks a different blogging journey.
Gracefully accept blogging challenges as stepping stones to greater success.
Learn from resistance to establish peace of mind.
4: Engage in Outreach to Build Your Support Network
Blogging friends help you to hop scotch over blogging challenges.
Engage in genuine blogger outreach to build a large, loyal blogging friend network.
One person struggles terribly to overcome a blogging challenge. 100 like-minded friends easily overcome all blogging challenges.

Never blog solo. Solo bloggers are doomed in a world of connected bloggers with help on demand.
Making blogging friends grows a build-in support community.
Imagine facing some pressing blogging obstacle.
One:
- Facebook update
- tweet
- LinkedIn update
to a few hundred blogging friends brings you a solution in a few minutes if not an hour.
Meanwhile, solo bloggers waste days or even weeks trying to conquer challenges solo. Sites like Reddit and Quora seem littered with solo bloggers facing endless challenges. Q and A sites potentially offer solutions but a large, loyal blogger friend network solves your problems fast.
Practical Tips for Blogger Outreach
- comment genuinely on blogs from your niche
- promote bloggers on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn
- promote bloggers through your blog via backlink mentions
- ask for nothing in return
- expect nothing in return
Gradually, following the bullet point tips above grows your blogger friend network. Experienced blogging friends typically faced any struggles you experience. Asking for their help gives you solutions to your blogging problems. Either they give you answers, fix the problem or direct you to professionals to hire to solve the problem.
5: Optimize Posts for Google to Be Practical
Far and away, learning how to optimize blog posts for Google is the most practical way to overcome blogging challenges.
The most common blogging obstacles include lacking targeted traffic and blogging profits. Google sends highly targeted, quality traffic to your blog.
Highly interested readers:
- purchase your products
- hire you
- click your embedded ads
- become loyal followers
- evolve into brand advocates
- increase referral business
Practically speaking, becoming skilled at driving Google traffic leaves most if not all blogging challenges in the dust.
Learning how to optimize blog posts for SEO feels uncomfortable because fears arise the moment you change blogging strategies. Bloggers who feel comfortable devoting 20 minutes to publishing a 600 word post fear spending 3 hours publishing an SEO-optimized blog post.
Fears include:
- the fear of wasting time
- the fear of not getting enough traffic and income in return for your time and work investment
- the fear of failing
- the fear of being criticized as your blogging success expands
Overcome each fear by understanding how blogging intelligently, patiently, persistently and generously dissolves obstacles to promote your success.
Optimize posts for SEO:
- publish 1500 word posts
- add as many details as possible
- share ample practical tips
- format posts with headers, short paragraphs and bullet point lists for easy reading or scanning
Driving targeted, quality and passive search engine traffic seamlessly dissolves blogging challenges.
Think and blog practically by mastering SEO concepts.
Become successful by doing as successful bloggers do.
