Phobia of Writing New Blog Posts

As bloggers we write with only one thing in mind; to meet the expectations of our readers. When the visitors subscribe to your blog, that is because they find your content helpful and they don’t mind to read more. So, you need to provide what they require from you.

Unfortunately, coming with an idea of a blog post is not the only problem that prevents us to publish on a regular basis. Fear of getting bad reactions from the readers can prevents us to over criticize our own articles. And in some cases, we stop writing.

Providing same quality in regular basis can be overwhelming. That may even result in phobia to create new blog posts. Because, you need to keep up the standards, you need to provide a content that is as good as the previous one, and you need to make your readers to stay as your readers, because you don’t want to lose them.

So, how can you overcome the phobia of writing new blog posts?

Not writing is worse than writing posts that get negative reaction from your readers.

Practice makes us better. More we write and more we get bad reaction from the readers, we can always use this to our advantage. Usually, a good reader always explains what they don’t like about your posts? That is the perfect way to learn from them. However, if we let our fears to prevent us to make new blog posts, we won’t have the opportunity to learn from our mistakes.

Allow your readers to speak up

So, don’t be that person, who only likes to hear good phrases from people. Always be open to constructive criticism. Allow your readers to say what they really want to say. If they don’t like your article and if they can openly let you know about it (of course in a certain manner), that will also make them feel as part of your community. In fact that will make them feel very important part of your community.

Imagine a community (either online or offline), where you are right all the time and you don’t care about what others say. You will realize very quickly that people are keeping their distance from you.

See your readers as your friends not your customers

It is always easier when our family and friends are around. We don’t really care about making mistakes. Because, we know for a fact that they will let us know if we do something wrong. Unfortunately, customers won’t always let you know about their problems with your products or services. They simply stop coming. As they don’t tell you what made them annoyed, you won’t get the chance to correct your mistakes.

So, if you start seeing your readers as your friends, you will be more brave and confident on what you write and what you publish on your blog.

There might be a blog post that leads your visitors to subscribe to your blog. On the other hand there might be another post that would make the same readers to unsubscribe. All you need to remember is, you can’t make everyone happy and there might be days where your blog posts may not be as good as the ones you published before. But you shouldn’t let the reactions of your readers to intimidate you to stop writing. Just keep doing it. Learn from your mistakes and learn from your readers.

Discussion

Do you get intimidated from your readers? Do your readers’ expectations prevent you to write more blog posts? How do you deal with it?
