80% of blogs fail within 18 months.

With a failure rate so high, why on earth would you start one?

Think about it…

You buy a domain name, pay for expensive website hosting, and spend weeks (maybe months) making your blog visually appealing for future visitors.

Except… they don’t come.

Crickets.

Sure, a few stragglers find you every once in a while. But most of your comments look like the spam folder of an old email account you created with Yahoo back in the 90’s.

You install plug-in after plug-in…

Spend hours learning about the best SEO practices…

And if you’re lucky, things pick up a little.

You’re getting 100 visitors a day now.

Oh, and look at that!

You actually made a sale through an affiliate link you pasted into an article.

Could this be it?

Are things about to take off?

And then – a Google update – named after some obscure f@cking animal like a Platypus.

All your hard work goes down the drain.
