Why does your Blogging Plan fail so easily?
This is the first guest post to be featured in BlogrPro.
We all know not everything works out as planned. But have you ever imagined why your plan fails while others is a success. The main reason your plan fails is because you are not planning things properly.
“But I followed all the advices, I did what other successful blogger are doing”.
That is where you failed. You just copied a plan and tired to make it work for your own blog. What you needed to do was make your own unique plan for you blog. You should have studied the already successful plan, taken its blueprint and build a plan considering the points similar to your own blog.
Planning is not a very easy task. You first need to understand it properly before trying to make a plan yourself. There are two types of Planning.
Pre-Planning – Simple Planning
Pre-planning is the starting point. Pre-planning means creating a plan before you start something. Most of you know it a simple planning. Most people already do this stuff while making a blog plan. You plan out what niche you will be blogging, what types of post you will be posting, what will be your posting frequency and many other stuffs. Pre-planning is easier task as everything is almost theoretical.
Post-Planning – Complex Planning
Post-planning is rapidly evolving planning. It is complex and deals with practical side of your work. It evolves with time and every new result. Think that you posted a post which got a tremendous response. You search for the reason why it became successful. And make a plan to create similar posts in future. This is post-planning. But this does not stop here. You wait for the result and modify the plan, may be adding additional promotion methods etc. Your plan undergoes many changes with time.
Both Pre-Planning and Post-Planning are equally necessary for your blog plan to become a success. While Pre-planning is done by almost everyone, not many people are aware of the fact that there is something called a post-planning as well. The reason that your blog plan is not a success lies here. You need to consider post-planning as well. At first it will be difficult to do post-planning but eventually you will be able to do it easily. One thing you always need to remember is that post-planning always evolve, so a plan which worked months ago will not necessarily give the same results. You will need to make changes according to the current situations.

I think the core of “post-planning” is flexibility. How flexible can you be with your plans and your blog? When the subscribers want to see something else or something radically different, how do you respond to it? Being bloggers, it is extremely important to constantly communicate with your readers on how you can collectively improve the blogging experience for both parties.
Excellent article. Thanks for reminding me again on the post-planning importance. I fully agree that most people do some pre-plans. However, post-planning is just as, if not more, important.

Yes Static absolutely correct. Core of “post-planning” is flexibility. Also I completely agree that bloggers should have interactions with their readers. It produces new content and ideas.

yes deepak, post planing is very important to succeed in blogging.
you have to spend some time to research post responses whether it is good or bad. we should learn from our past mistakes and success..

Maybe the main hindrance in our blog success is our attitude. We just love to see big bloggers earnings and forget that those huge earnings are a result of thier hard work.

I guess Pre-planning is always a better option but sometimes you change your plan according to situations and results thus switch to post planning.
Both are important according to me, totally depends on situation and Stats.

That is right but the simple thing can be lack of planning as well. I agree that there some reasons that cannot be controlled but planning can help.

I think either way when you approach something online there should always be planning in place regardless. The web is spread out that it is easy to get sidetracked sometimes.

I think it’s because allot of people seem to run out of ideas or time to create quality content. And once you don’t have quality content, your blog will go straight to hell because nobody likes blogs with a million ads and low quality content :S

Pre Plannning and Post planning are equally important, it appears to me that I am failing in either one of those or Both of these, as I don’t think I am getting the success which I should. I think I need to change my basic look-out towards any problem.
