Do you know why most bloggers start with immense passion but give up within 6 months? They start off full of energy, then why does blogging become a chore? Well, it’s the wrong mindset.
Mostly, people start new blogs to fulfil resolutions and earn money. Other times, it’s out of some influence online. Only those successful ones start with a proper understanding of blogging. And that’s why they don’t give up.
In this guide, we’ve shared 6 ways you can build a strong blogging mindset in 2025.
1. Find Your ‘Why’
You must’ve heard this quote: “If your WHY is powerful, then your HOW is easy.” Generally, blogging is seen as a way to make money online. Thanks to the so-called influencers, they’ve made blogging a cheap side hustle.
However, blogging is more of a business. It’s the way you look at it. If you take blogging as a way to fuel your business, it becomes an asset. Otherwise, you can only go so far with a money-making mindset.
Consider it again — Do you really want to create a blog for an asset? Can you wait at least 6 months before making the first dollar?
2. Invest Wisely
Most bloggers invest in hosting and domain names with the intent of getting their $100 back quickly. As mentioned before, blogging isn’t a get-quick-money scheme. Thus, it’s also not a good way to invest.
Invest in your blog to fulfil your ultimate purpose, not to gain returns. In fact, forget about the investment you’ve made. Focus on your blog’s growth — you’ll get 10x of your investment.
3. Focus on Content Creation
The most effort-taking task of blogging is consistent content creation. However, it’s also the core part of it, which makes it the top growth factor. Thus, a mindset shift is absolutely necessary to keep up with it.
A lot of present-day bloggers rely on AI tools such as ChatGPT. While this is okay for inspiration and research purposes, AI cannot provide any original insights. It makes your content sound vague.
Here’s what you should do: Learn something new about content writing every day. Implement it to create high-quality content. Once you reach a pinnacle, use AI to accelerate your process.
In case you can outsource the content part, ensure to hire a good agency or writer. At 1MillionBlogs, our team of writers is excellent at blog posts. Consult with us here.
4. Growth is Flowy
Your blog’s growth graph would never be the same. It will keep going up-and-down in the short run. In the long run, it will definitely scale up, but for the most part, it will stay inconsistent.
Google Search Console’s graph will fall when the algorithm shifts, for example. But to scale up, you need to stick to growth factors rather than the numbers. Focus on new ways to grow your blog and monetise it.
To keep up your consistency, you can also connect with bloggers in a similar niche. Their ways of scaling up may help while also keeping you motivated.
5. Think of Monetisation
Did you know that there are over 9 ways to monetise your blog? Let’s be real — the end-purpose of starting the blog is to earn from it. While you can start without the mindset to earn, it cannot work in the long run.
That’s why you will eventually need to find ways that work for you. Some of the most common ways to monetise a blog are Google AdSense, Amazon Associates, and Digital Products.
You can sell anything if you have an audience. So, start by increasing your blog traffic. Over time, find methods that can earn you money. Remember, you won’t earn on the first day itself. It takes time, but when you do, it will be satisfactory.
6. Don’t Compare Your Journey
Comparison is the killer to creativity. Many bloggers ruin their confidence by comparing themselves to successful ones. But isn’t it unreal for you to compare your 6-month progress with someone’s 6-year worth of learnings?
In fact, you’ll be despising yourself by reading their success stories. Even if you try to implement their growth strategies, there is no guarantee that they will work for you too.
So, focus on your own journey. Identify your weaknesses, learning curves, and opportunities. The more you think of others, the more you’ll look at your own flaws. To put it together, nothing is flawless — including your success.
7. Avoid Popular Niches
Search engines are saturated with millions of blogs in most niches. These include lifestyle, finance, marketing, SaaS, etc. Most of these websites have a strong dominance and so, it’s almost impossible to outrank them.
You should always choose a microniche. For instance, one of our mentees chose the “Kitty Party” niche. Since it isn’t saturated enough, her blog started thriving within six months. In case you’re still confused, explore our guide on niches.
8. Blog isn’t Enough
Only 22% of bloggers receive organic traffic. In addition, almost 50% of bloggers drive traffic through external sources. If we conclude, you can’t rely solely on search engines. The traffic always fluctuates — especially with the new AISEO.
Therefore, you must have an online presence. Build your personal brand on platforms like X and LinkedIn. If it works, you can also try Pinterest marketing.
9. Meet the Intent
Most bloggers think that bulk publishing will drive ‘massive’ traffic. It’s a false alarm in 2025. Google’s priorities have changed. Rather than prioritising the websites with most keywords, it prioritises the ones that meet user intent.
Understand what the user is looking for with a keyword search and then create your blog post’s outline. Ensure that you avoid all the unnecessary details.
Conclusion
It may seem like there is no such thing as a ‘strong blogging mindset’. However, it is one major reason why 80% of bloggers give up. The comparison, consistent insecurities, and the desperation to earn never cool off — leading them to shut down their blog.
Therefore, it is extremely important to have a dedicated mindset to achieve any results at all. 1MillionBlogs’ most successful bloggers have been in the game for over a year. You can be too — connect with us for a free consultation.
Thank you so much sir To give me the right direction I followed many so-called blogging gurus. They told us to choose a niche, choose a domain name, find competitors and start.
