Blogging is not as easy as non-bloggers would think. It is not the usual type of career that anyone can just stay alive without making a lot of sacrifices. There are a lot of things to think about and acted upon. Although it is not quite obvious, blogging has many obstacles too. A blogger may not have a boss to satisfy, no dress code to follow, and no time limit to work; but there are still some who decided to quit. Here are some of the reasons why.
Too many interests
Bloggers with many interests can have a problem in terms of priority. Instead of focusing on a particular niche topic, he is confused on what to write first. Since he cannot handle the pressure of managing too many blogs, he will feel exhausted and then decide to quit. He will prefer collecting valuable information but not capable of sharing them. A blogger cannot be Jack-of-all-Trades because he will be Master of Nothing.
Lack of time
This is common to part time bloggers like me. It is very difficult to balance your time to work and blog at the same time. If you have a family, you must also spend quality time for them. Some bloggers are even required to extend some hours to work in the office, which gives him lesser time to blog. The same is true for students who are blogging, there will come a time that he should prepare for a school project or a major exam. Blogging requires time, a dedicated time.
Lack of drive
Just like artists and writers, bloggers need someone or something to drive his thoughts and ideas. A blogger should always be inspired in order to maintain his quality posts. Unknown to many, it is very difficult to think of something to discuss about consistently. If the drive is gone, you will stop blogging even if you have enough time and earning good money out of it. Even the best blogger needs inspiration to maintain his stature.
Poor mental condition
Although a blogger does not require being physically fit, it requires a healthy mind. Enough sleep and rest are some of the things that a blogger will not have. The more you get successful, the lesser rest time you will have. Although nobody can force a blogger to stay awake during late night, it is one of solemn moments when a blogger can concentrate, not unless that he has many assistants to help him in other activities. Bloggers may not have a healthy heart, but he must have a healthy soul.
Low revenue
This is due to wrong connotation that all bloggers can be rich. Although there are some bloggers who got rich, money is still hard to find in this field. Remember that there are millions of bloggers around the world and increasing rapidly, which means that no matter how well you do in blogging, the road to get rich is very stiff. So if someone blogs just for money alone, then blogging is not for him. Blogging is for career oriented individuals, not for job seekers.
Bloggers are not made, they are being born.

Some nice points you share here , Also lack of patience and determination is another things. Most want to earn some money from blogging but when they don’t see the cash in the first month or so they tend to quit not realizing it takes time to build traffic and start earning from your blog.
