Lovely Post Alok, Very insightful and interesting one. Liked it…..:)

Thank you so much Priyashi 🙂 I am glad that you liked it…

This is a splendid one Alok :).. I did have a lot of these misconceptions when I started but now having spent a little time on blogging, I can see each one of these misconceptions being taken off one by one :).. It is a great learning experience though and you have captured them all together very well here 🙂
-
Very true Vinay. Now you are an experienced blogger and you can easily understand the reality behind all these misconceptions 🙂 Thanks buddy for liking the post.

I think, mostly, there are two types of bloggers: one who writes just to express oneself and earns a global presence. And second who writes for promoting business. Alok, this article is a well balance of both. Another gem of Blog-O-Pedia. (Y)

Every time I read your posts I realize how much I din’t know and I am happy that I know so much more ! Every time I hear people say you must have content, it must be lengthy ,and blah blah I too want to laugh because clearly blogging is anything but not just writing ! Sometimes I get angry when few of my friends commented ‘ you simply write and ask others to read right?” , surely they lack sense of humor 😐 next time I meet someone who thinks blogging is easy and express misconception about blogging I am going to highly recommend him/her to read this fab blog post of yours !
And coming to ‘ More the no of followers , more success of the blog’ I have seen many bloggers with a high rate of followers on Fb and G+ get millions of opportunities so yes there is no denying that no matter if the followers are fake or not loyal followers , the brands and companies opt for those with highest no of followers !
thank you sharing such knowledgeable information ! I found it very very helpful !-
Thank you so much Najm Nisa, I am really delighted that you appreciate my efforts so much. It really means a lot to me.
Thank you so so much once again Nisa 🙂

I entered blogging by accident in 2008 and then one blog and that’s it. I stopped. Last year end my writer’s block started to lift off and this year is the first time I am concentrating on my blogs. Agreed to all your points. Blogging is just not writing. Its all about what you said. I need SEO tutions or I have to re read all your articles again and again to get it right.

Hey Datta, if you need SEO tuition as well I am here to provide you the same. Reading the blogs will also work for you, but then I won’t get the fees 🙂
Thanks a lot for such a nice feedback 🙂

Ahh! That is so true!
I wont be wrong if I say that I have come across blogs that have like 100’s of followers & 1000’s of blogs… but when you read the posts, you are like “Get that grammar right, sweety!”.. at least in the Blog Post!!!Also, I would like to add another misconception about Blogging.. which I have faced so many times.. & that is.. “You Blog? That means you are free & have a lot of time to do ‘all this’. Blog-shog is for people who aren’t busy!”
Grrr…It annoys the hell out of me!!!-Gauri

Thank you so much Gauri for sharing your opinion with us. I am sure you must have found some grammatical error on this blog post of mine too 🙂 Unfortunately I am not that much educated and especially my hand in English language is a bit short. I hope you will ignore some of those mistakes.
Yup you said it right, blogging simply does not means we are free. Especially if you ask me I am unable to perform so many things just because I don’t have much time…
I am glad that you visited my blog and shared your opinion with us. Thank you so much Gauri 🙂 I will try to improve further…

Your Blog is perfect! I loved it! & nah, I didn’t find any grammatical errors 😉
Good effort! You have some really great articles up there!I am a newbie to blogging myself, so there’s a lot to learn from yours! 😀
I would be glad if you visit my Blog “ReflecSo” too, & provide your feedback!
Thanks & regards,
Gauri 😀

Hey Gauri, you really made my day dear. Am glad that my blogs are improving. 🙂
Did checked your blog posts and I must say that you are not at all a newbie. You are presenting content in a very good way, though the biggest mistake which I feel any serious blogger do is to go ahead with the blogspot domain name. So I would suggest you to have a domain name please.
I would suggest you to please read these blogs of mine, I am hopeful you will like them:

I had every single one of these misconceptions when I started blogging. Now I know better 🙂

Thank you so much Anawnimiss 🙂 I am glad that you liked this blog post of mine. You are right, you are an experienced blogger now and can really understand these myths and their reality 🙂

Great to read this, Alok.
I saw many Blogs that have hundreds of followers, but not a single comment in the latest post. I couldn’t understand what’s happening!
I understand that earning followers is very tough- in Blogging & in Social Media too.
We have to put in a lot of effort & spend time. Blogging is definitely not free!-
You are right Anita. Blogging is something more than getting followers, it is like building friends everyday… And yes you said it right that it is definitely not free, people should understand this. Thank you Anita for sharing your opinion and supporting my post 🙂

This is a very good and concise manner in which u have written these misconceptions…. Another misconception is that u gotta b Shakespeare and really good in our English and grammar….well, although I focus on the English I feel it isn’t that important. Although I found a mistake here n there in the post, ur crispness and skill stole the show….kudos do check out

Thank you so much Shahen 🙂 I am really glad that you liked the blog post so much. Well you are right that we need not be Shakespeare to write blogs. Normal English language being understood by our readers is more than enough 🙂
Though I really did not understand this line: “Although I found a mistake here n there in the post, ur crispness and skill stole the show” What mistake have you found in the post?
Can you please elaborate the same so that I can improvise?
Thank you so much for your visit and comment over here.

Hi Alok,
Although, I am a newbie to blogging but I can easily connect to the points that you have mentioned.. lovely postRegards,
Vartika-

A good post, as always.
I recently read somewhere that “a blogger always wants to see himself/herself in the media”.
Another misconception I believe.-
Thank you so much Sharmila for sharing your opinion with us. I am glad that you liked this blog post of mine. You are absolutely right, honestly there are many bloggers who don’t even want to ever come to media. Though I think it is really pleasant if media recognizes your work.
Thank you so much for sharing your support to our blog 🙂

I meant “A blogger need to take care …”
Since blogger is singular and verb should b plural that is needs… However does it matter when u blog on a topic that have so many misconceptions…???? 🙂-
Ideally speaking you are also right up to an extent, but then it hardly matters as I am using the term “A Blogger” in singular manner only.
Buddy honestly I don’t have much knowledge of English language, otherwise I would have definitely taken care of such small things, but when I start writing, I don’t look for such small-small things, whatever comes in the flow I just go ahead with the same.
Thanks for pointing it out to us 🙂 I will try to improve upon it in future…

An excellent article revealing every thing about blogging. I have 100 posts on my blog and my son has 95 posts on his blog but his number of visitors is 4 times of my visitors. Regarding technical expertise, I learned most of the things from other bloggers. Almost all the points in this article are quite realistic.
