What is the hard part or hardships of blogging according to you which you might have faced till now?

I think being constant, in the sense constantly putting out content. There are days when I blackout and have no content and just because I want to put out content I can’t compromise on the quality.

Being a newbie I think finding the niche is difficult and takes a lot of time to find a place in so many already well-established bloggers.
I feel that people have stopped valuing the efforts of bloggers. Also, I see a lot of new bloggers emerging but I often hear them saying that they started only for free stuff.

I think the freedom we get to express ourselves. The blog is an amazing way to put words out on the internet, also the free stuff we get sometimes.

My readers, the feedback I get always keeps me going.

Yes yes, there are communities in different countries. In India, there is an Indian BLOGGER community and they organize awards every few years.

 

How much time does it take you to write a single post on your blog and particularly at what time you feel it is appropriate and comfortable to write a new post?

I feel like it matters for the readers.If your traffic is mostly from around the world try scheduling posts accordingly.
I like to post twice a month mostly and if I have a sponsorship I try to post that too in the same month.

Pros: interesting hobby and a lot of future job opportunities like social media marketing, product reviewer, writer, photographer.

Mostly the satisfaction of helping others with their content but also the free stuff, to be honest. My personal experience has been amazing. My blog has helped me a lot with my anxiety too.
