Blogger Burnout

I have seen many stats stating the number of blogs on the Internet are growing very rapidly. Many of the blogs are normal people writing about normal things. Many businesses have started their own blogs for various reasons. Those who haven’t will suffer for not doing so.

Since I have started my blog, I have shared it with my friends. Although the content of this blog doesn’t fit their preferences, they consistently return and leave comments. A few months ago, many of them even started their own blog. A few started a couple of blogs.

Some have learned how to use their blog to benefit them. All learned that blogging takes time and gets difficult at times to sit down at a computer and write a blog post. They suffered from the infamous blogger burnout.

So I want to know, are you guys still reading my blog? Why have you stopped blogging? Do you see any benefits to blogging?

I feel like I can make a case that everybody should blog. Many people that are prominent in the blogging community believe that resumes should be no more. Just give prospective employers you blog address and let them judge you from that. I personally disagree with that. But are we moving in that direction?

I’ll be the first to admin that I have suffered from blogger burnout. I have more than one blog. It gets very difficult at times to maintain both. But I love doing it.

    “Those who haven’t will suffer for not doing so.” Yeah… suffer the wrath of Josh! Just kidding - I know what you mean… it just sounded like a threat.

    I still read your blog, and thanks to the Google reader that you told me about on your blog, reading it is much easier now. I don’t think I’m your target audience, but I like your blog. It’s quite lovely.

    I love having a blog. Finding time to draw stuff for it can be a problem, but I’ve loved getting back to drawing for fun… I used to only draw for work. Hooray for blogs!

    I still visit everyone’s blog. I need to figure out the reader thing.
