Disadvantages of blogging Full-Time
You feel alone
This is a common problem, among full-time bloggers. They feel alone. They miss their earlier colleagues. They even miss those people who create problems during work. It is a very bitter truth of blogging.
You have to work alone till you struggle hard and find a new opportunity to expand your work so that you can hire someone. Sometimes this lead to significant frustration.
Therefore, if you are planning a full-time blogging, select a partner and get a room or a small office and work together.
Make sure you maintain a decent balance between social and internet life. Talking to friends on Facebook or IM is not considered as socializing. You should go out and meet friends and be a part of family.
Honestly, I find it hard to do it at times as I like to get everything done online that includes paying bills and shopping. But, if you manage a good balance between social and professional life, you can always move ahead to the next level.
Economy condition
I know many bloggers who struggle with their full time blogging. They love blogging but they don’t have a fix source of income. Some choose freelance writing job for earning money and few choose to depend on their parents to fulfill the need of money.
No work while you are ill
We are human and every human gets ill. This is tough time for those blogger who work alone. They don’t get time to update their blog and it ultimately results in loss of blog income and traffic. Their is no best solution of this problem.
You can either request to your friends to update your blog or you can hire any professional writer to work for you in your bad time.
Discipline
Blogging requires discipline. Most of the bloggers don’t have a schedule while moving from day job to full time blogging. Sometimes they work during the day and sometimes during the night. This breaks the discipline which a blogger should have while working online. The reason behind this is freedom and plenty of time in life to enjoy every moment of this opportunity.
Attitude and learning:
Blogging is all about being social. You need to answer to people queries and for that reading should be a part of day to day tasks. You need to have some basic skills like SEO, good writing, soft skills to become a Blogger.
