Blogging and Writing are two different fields which seems like having two many similarities, So do you think that every Blogger who writes on their blog is a writer?
According to Wikipedia, A writer is a person who produces nonfictional or literally art such as stories, novels, essays, poetry and someone who writes professionally. That doesn’t mean that we can call a writer everyone who writes on their blog.
I have spent a lot of time and did really hard work to improve my writing skills. I’ve read many writing blogs and books and now I’m feeling that my writing is becoming little better than before, but I still have long miles to go!
If you want to be a better writer than you must work hard to make your writing better. If you spend some time on your writing skills than you can be one of the great writer because being a writer is not hard, but sitting to write something daily is hard. Goinswriter is one of my favorite writing blog which has many killer writing tips for everyone who wants to be a better writer.
So, let’s come to the point. A world of professional writing also holds the greatest Blogging and marketing lessons which can be applies to your blog.
There are 3 simple Blogging lessons which we can learn from “The writer”.
1. Believe in yourself!
Writers believes in themselves.
They write they write confidently and courageously without making apologies.
So, if you want to be a better Blogger, you must believe in yourself and keep hard working instead of thinking that Blogging is difficult and you can’t do it.
If you are not going to call yourself a Blogger than how are you expecting others to call you a Blogger? If you are going to do that’s worth anything, you’re going to have to do same, even you have to fake it at first.
You are a blogger when you say you are. Screw what everyone else say!
2. Love Your Passion:
Writers love to write!
Writers are not writing for money or for anything else, they are writing because they it’s their passion. They write in all situations, When they feel boring they write, when they feel alone they write, when they disappoint they write and when they got something new to say they write it.

So, do you love to blog?
In order to be a long time Blogger the first thing to keep in mind is that you must love Blogging. If you love what you’re doing than you will be a successful in your field.
You don’t need to be rich to be happy, instead you need to love what you are doing.
Without passion, you don’t have energy. Without energy you have nothing! – Warren Buffet
3. Stick with it:
Your passion is something which can take you to greatest heights if you find it and stick with it.
As I said before Blogging is not a “get rich quick” scheme. It needs a lot of time and hard work to be a successful Blogger. Follow your passion and do things which you love, the success will follow you!.
You are nuts and you should be proud of it. Stick with what you believe in. – Trip Hawkins
Oh sure….believe in your self, this is can change of mind to face the future. In writing need confidently to practice the creativity in self.
thank you
Thank you Din, Being yourself is must not only in blogging, but also in everything.
I liked 3rd one quote that says “You are nuts and you should be proud of it. Stick with what you believe in. – Trip Hawkins”
I have dome B.Pharmacy however I love and passionate about blogging so I leave my that career to become fulltime blogger. Thank you for inspiring me with that quotes!!
Thanks Bhavesh, Glad you liked the quote and the post.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Hi Ehsan,
Writing Skill is a process. Thus every bloggers need confidence and passion to keep write for their blog. I guess these two are the most powerful weapons that already built inside every bloggers.
As long as we have the passion we’ll keep writing and the skill will develop as we work hard to make every passion into articles.
You’re absolutely right Okto, Every blogger must learn a good writing skills first in order to become a good blogger. No matter what’s your niche, writing skills is must.
Thanks for landing
Hi Ehsan!,
This is the first time I’m visiting your blog! Really a valuable article! Passion is important for every blogger in writing. But my one advice to all bloggers, if your blog’s traffic is low don’t give up! believe in yourself and try again, surely you’ll gain success!
Welcome Narayan, I appreciate your visit here. Yeah, following passion is must and is the key to success. Thanks for sharing your advice here, It needs time and effort to gain success and If you give up, that means you’re a loser!
well passion is very important for every blogger when concerned about writing. thanks for the nice points.
Thanks for stopping by RajKumar.
Actually everyone can be good writer. But my problems is confidently and courageously like your article writes, I am afraid of the writing. so I will try to learn everything i need to be a good writer.
thanks
Hey Hyden, Everyone can be a good writer. They need to work for it, only hoping isn’t going to help.
Believing in yourself is really important when it comes to content writing.
I’m a content writer myself and originally I was charging very little for my articles because I didn’t really believe that they could be better than all other writers content. A few months later I realised from all of the positive reviews that I could easily charge more and still be seen as a cheap writer for the quality of work that I was providing.
Hey Jamie, You are right on this. Believing in yourself is must in not only blogging, but in every field of life.
Thanks for sharing your thought here.
haha I like the first one
“You are a Blogger when you say you are. Screw what everyone else say!”
It reminds me of the Mark Zuckerburg business card that said
” I’m CEO B@#$h ”
Nice article. Along with Geeky writer, you can also include writetodone. It is amazing writing blog that’s owned by the zen master himself Leo Babauta.
Hey Nathan,
I’m really happy you stopped by.
This is true, if we are not going to call ourselves a blogger, than how should we expect others to call us what we want to hear.:D
I already know about Writetodone website. It is really an amazing blog about writing where one of my favorite writing superstar “Ali Luke” also writes, but the GeekyWriter is my personal friend’s blog and this post is written for the contest which is running by GeekyWriter.
Anyway, thanks for stopping by.
Hey Ehsan,
Blogging is what, a hard thing for most, but sticking with it and saying yourself that it’s your passion! then Blogging can really be like a Butter.
You’ve really proved that writing isn’t that hard, thanks for these awesome tips! I hope others have enjoyed too much like I did it!..
Congo.. for going great!
Thanks Mairaj, I’m glade you enjoyed the article here.
If you dont love blogging, you will never get past the initial 6 month period of no reward.Only if you love blogging can you move past this phase!
You are right Gautham, Thanks for adding the point to the post.
jb 100 coments poRe ho jae to bta dena bRo
Lol:D ok bro. Thanks for your support.
Great tips Ehsan!
Being a blogger/writer is a lot of hard work, so you must enjoy writing. You constantly have to produce new content, so if that seems like too much hard work, people shouldn’t bother blogging. Bloggers have to be passionate about what they are writing about, otherwise they will just give up.
Good post
Thanks for the advice Matt. You are absolutely right.
If you are interested and have knowledge on what are you writing about than they won’t just give up:P
Thanks for your comment Matt.
I was and am never scared of blogging, I love it just like I eat food everyday. What I try personally is not to write everyday or simply give yourself a brainstorm session. First, you have to read, read and read.
You read not just for info, but to learn those intricate and tiny methods which make all those A-List bloggers a big success. So, From what I observed, simplicity and a genuine flow in language can come a long way.
What you’ve mentioned here is a really personal thing, which is the underlying basis for every blogger. You have to be motivated, may not be everyday but to at least succeed in your long-term goals. Plus passion counts as well, without that, there’s no desire, no fun and blogging can be the most boring thing on this planet.
Excellent post, well pointed out concepts and you can certainly improve a lot, you’re doing pretty well as of now. Good Luck!
Hello Aditya, What a great comment my friend. Thank you very much for adding value to the post.
I also love Blogging and I can’t live without my blog for one day, not even for one hour.
I also read more than write because it increases the knowledge and it also has a lot of other benefits which I can’t mention in this comment. My posting schedule is also not daily. I write 3 or 4 times a week and If I received guest posts than maybe 5 posts a week.
I’m glade you liked my point. As I said many times before following your passion is the only key to success in Blogging.
Thanks bro for your comment, I really appreciate it.
that’s so Right
especially points number 1 and 2
passion is the key to persistence and persistence always leads to success
awesome post
Hey Farouk, I’m glade you liked the post bro.
Passion is power, passion is energy and the passion is that which can be the responsible of our successful life or our failure life.
We can be a successful if we follow our passion and do the things which is necessary.
I really appreciate your comment Farouk.
I always believe that if you’re passionate about something then you will stick to it no matter how many hurdles you face. If you give up then it means that it was a flirtation and not a serious affair. A blogger should choose a niche about which he or she is passionate. It will lead to success eventually
Hey Aniruddha,
I agree with you man. A passion is something which can bring success to our life if we follow it.
Thanks Ehsan for making me stop to this article, Great write up and I must say that the chances for a writer to become an effective Blogger is more than for someone who don’t have passion in writing.
You are right Ali, As I said there is a difference between a writer and a blogger, but the chances for a writer is really more to become a good Blogger.
Thanks for your comment Ali.
I haven’t seen the movie but my wife did and all she can say is the movie is incredibly awesome. In my humble opinion since I haven’t seen the movie, I guess perseverance and determination is the key to achieve success, without it, it is useless and pointless.
Great write up Ehsan.. Good luck on this one buddy
Thanks Harbert, I really appreciate your comment here.
I also appreciate your kind worlds.
Thanks for stopping by.
Keep going Ehsan,
Like all the other commentators already said, You have shared 3 great lessons here.
You are nuts and you should be proud of it, stick with what you believe in (Great quote)
I appreciate your comment Clara, thanks for adding value Clara.
Hi Ehsan, Thanks for letting me know about this article. It is really worth reading!
Hey Khabza, I’m glade to know that you found the article useful. Thanks for your comment.
I think Ehsan Bro,
The fact of literary have been revolutionized by, guideandnews in very depth fullness. Mostly I liked the second point of the post termly “Love Your Passion”. Thank you for sharing such peaceful information.
Hi Dilawar bro,
I’m glade you liked a point on this post and you left such a valuable comment here.
Thanks bro.
Nice tips but need lot of patience and hard-work to stick to and follow them.
YES Sergio, Nothing is possible without patience and hard work. You need to do hard work (At least at first) in order to achieve your goals.
Hmm,
Ehsan, you’re dead right about being yourself if you want to be a writer or blogger. Without that belief, you will never be able to do anything. Of course, there are many who better writers or bloggers than you, but none can be you. That is your unique advantage.
I consider myself a writer with 2 unpublished works in my kitty. But since I began blogging I must say my writing style has improved. And this is where I want to say that possibly that definition from Wikipedia will soon be outdated! I’m sure that entry was made when bloggers were not this popular. Some day some will look into it and add blogging to the list of writers.
Thanks for this great post.
Hi again Chadrack,
I’m glade to know that you found this post great, and yes you should be able to belied in yourself to be get to the list of elite Bloggers. I’m really happy to hear that Blogging improved your writing style, I also felt after few months of Blogging that my writing is getting better than before.
I also think that the definition will be outdated, but till now it isn’t!
Appreciate you stopping by Chadrack.
Great post Ehsan…
According to me Blogging is all about passion…..without passion you will be one of those million blogger who quit blogging within 6 month of their start.
Blogging require extreme passion.
Yeah “Follow your passion, success will follow you” that is the quote which I like most and heard from many places.
No matter we’re writing about which topic, but we must enjoy writing. If we are not enjoying what we’re doing than we aren’t going to stick what we are doing for a long time.
Thanks for stopping by.
I hate my writing assignments and things for my college classes. I find myself to be a great writer (I run two blogs and I have an eBook in the works), but my college professors want scholarly papers. I do think that “writing” and “blogging” are two different things.
Writing and Blogging are really two different things. As I said in my post that every one start a blog isn’t a writer.
Thanks for your comment Ian.
Ehsan,
Life is about Passion just as being a successful writer is… It’s all funneled through the channel of emotion.
Couldn’t agree with you more my man!
Ryan H.
Writing is the best weapon of any blogger, or even an internet marketeer for that matter.
Polishing your writing skills and delving deeper into the art of copywriting is the quickest and by all means safest way to build trust, authority, to persuade, to eventually sell.
Being ignorant and testing the resolve in this matter is to an extent a sure way to push mediocre content out there on the shelf, which in turn will ruin the chances for your blog to become something in the future.
Hello Slavko,
Thank you very much for adding more value to my post. I really appreciate your advice.
Thank you very much for stopping by.
GoinsWriter.com is the perfect blog for anyone who wants to know about this topic. You know so much its almost hard to argue with you (not that I really would want…HaHa). You definitely put a new spin on a subject thats been written about for years. Great stuff, just great!
Hi Elena, Yeah I’m a big fan of GoinsWriter. It is my favorite writing blog after GeekyWriter.com
I’m glade you liked my post. We can be a friends on Facebook, if are not yet! http://www.facebook.com/ehsan.kailash
To the first part, I would add that it is important to be self-critical, at times, as well. Otherwise you will only listen to what others tell you, on how to improve… which might help optimize your current approach, but not get you to “where you want to go” in the end!
Hi JohannQ,
Thanks for your advice, I only listen to some famous people which I respect. I have my own goals in life where I want to get.
Thanks for your suggestion Johann. Appreciate you stopping by.
Sure we can learn from the writer and we must
i really appreciate the quality of this article, thank you for the sharing

Hi Ehsan,
How are you doing? Smart way to grab the attention of others to win the contest entry
Going really great. And I know Romy has the ability to change the blogosphere with his writing. Romy, hearing??
Thanks for stopping by bro.
Hello Rahul,
Thanks for the endorsement..
I was wondering why Ehsan going to get the comment on it !! But, this is absolutely a good post to attract the reader finger towards comment box.
Hey Zaheer,
Thanks for your support my friend, Keep sharing this post on all of your social profiles.
nice post, loved to read it again
Hey Parmar, Thanks for stopping by and reading my post friend,
Are we friends on Facebook yet? If no send me a request at http://www.facebook.com/ehsan.kailash
Awesome post. I really like it.
Hi Ehsan,
I’m not a writer nor a Blogger, but I like what you said in this post and I also like what the Warren Buffet said.
In all fields of life we must love what we do, If we don’t than we must leave what we do. We must not do it for money.
I also agree with the first part of this post. If we are not going to call us a writer, than how should we expect others to call us a writer.
BTW awesome post Ehsan.
Hey Threatyl, I’m glade you liked my post.
I have written this post for those who creates a blog just for make money and they find it difficult and they quit after some time. All I wanted to clear in this post was to stick with your passion.
I agree with you, If you have passion on Blogging than do it otherwise no!
Thanks for stopping by.
Thanks for your reply Ehsan.
As you said, I love to write that I write on other websites, but I don’t have my own blog.
Great motivational line right there! I’d definitely move forward and not be affected by anyone when I start blogging. If ever they say something about me, I’d treat it as some sort of a piece of info that can help me improve in such a way that even they would be pleased by whatever I’m posting. Another way would be using those negative comments as an inspiration for a very positive post.
= Gerald Martin, SEO Reseller =
Yeah Gerald, You got the point bro. Thanks for your thoughts bro.
Great tips, Ehsan. Sticking with it is probably the most important one you mentioned. If you stick with it like most other things in life, you will get better. Especially if your taking other steps towards helping increase your skill level. Good job.
Hey Kevin, We should stick with Blogging and any other thing which you do in your life. If you fail and try again and again instead of quitting, After certain number of failure you will probably get success.
Nice Post Ehsan,
Yeah! we can learn many thing from a writer and blogging too. Thanks for the post.

Hey Ehsan,
Awesome pos bro, thanks for commenting on my blog.
Hey John, Appreciate you stopping by and leaving your comment here.
Blogging is something can be learned not only from writers but from every specialist like wrestler, racer and fighter etc, but it needs some brainstorming to find out.
Any Ehsan, this really awesome article. Thanks for this.
Yeah Ashfaq, I have read many articles on ProBlogger and other big blogs like “Blogging tips from Albert Einstien” and “Blogging tips from Warren Buffet” etc. Thanks for the point Ashfaq.
Appreciate you stopping by.
Awesom post with great quotes. Like it bro.
Thanks for stopping by and reading the post Sheroz.
Hey Ehsan,
I believe that everyone who writes on their blogs is not a writer. We have to learn it first in order to be a better writer. Thanks for the meaningful post bro. Will be looking for more like this.
@Fred I’m glade you liked my post. Keep visiting for more.
Hello Fred,
You are a writer. If you write.
You are a great write. If you write and care about your readers.
Writers job is to write and if you write then you are a write. The only difference you and great writers have is that they write more then you and have some experiences that you lack of. But the time and practice will also make you a great writer if you want to.
To be a better writer you don’t have to climb Mount Everest and prey. All you’ve to do is keep writing.
Hello Romy,
Great words bro, I must say that I will focus more on writing because I love it. You’ve shared an awesome tip with me here.
Hey Ehsan, many writers are introverts and tend to lack confidence. Myself included. To prove a point, ask any consistent writer how many unfinished drafts he or she has. This is now always because we don’t know which direction to take our stories; it’s because of confidence.
And as a blogger, it took a while e to really voice my thoughts because the world was reading. I’m not vulgar or anything but I have really strong opinions. I’ll talk about topics no one else wants to speak of – race, discrimination, stereotypes and other “touchy” subjects. At first I was afraid to say things because of my business, but I realize that people who want to work with me, will. If not, they won’t. So, you have to grow in confidence.
Thank you very much for your thouts Marcie. Yeah peoples who want to work with you will read whatever yot write.
Your comment gave me some new ideas Marcie. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment here.
Hello Marice,
Yeah! You are right. If we want to stand out then we have to be specific, different, say to what others afraid say and say it in our own way, in our own voice.
We all are writers and our work is to say what others can’t say. Some people will like it and some will not. But it doesn’t matters because with few art lovers we get few art haters free.
Hello Ehsan, i am agree with you blogging need passion, love and pretty skills, most of the blogger nowadays are not good writers and not have more qualification just have the basic qualification. Mainly they have knowledge about blogging and interest on which they right on their blog. I think blogging need knowledge not writing skills etc.
Zaheer
BlogingInfo.Com
Hello Zaheer,
if you have knowledge on something and you don’t have good writing style, you are not adding you value to your content than no one will like to read your blog.
I’m not saying that you must be a professional writer to be able to blog. I mean to say that writing skills is needed is that you must be able to convince your readers with your writing style. Hope you got my point.
I got your point, but a professional writer which haven’t skills to convey message never be a blogger. He or She may write well but never inspire anyone from their skills.
Yeah I agree with you, but if someone became a writer and don’t have skills to convey message than they can write about the topic in which they’re passionate about. I mean they can make a blog on writing tips.
Hello Zaheer,
At some extent you are right. We all needs knowledge to do anything in our life even if we want to cut mangoes then we’ve to learn, know how to cut mangoes in a way that our fingers be on safe side.
“Knowledge is most important part of anyone’s life. But we also have to know that how should we put our knowings in a way that it benefits us as well as others.”
And blogger do this. Bloggers keep learning knowing new things to increase their brain size. But many bloggers gets failed to put their knowing in a way that it attracts people and gives them what they want.
so, knowledge is important. But more important thing is how we use the knowledge.
If you know A+B=C and write it in a normal non interesting way then nobody will like to read it. But if you explain it differently, interestingly then people love you.
So, Writing also matters. The best example I can give is why we like to read some books? Why some books become best selling books and many floats like dust. Just think about you will find the correct answer for your question.
I am agree with you Romy, the way of convey is also much important so, i would like to say these two things are relevant to each other, depend on each other.
Great tips Ehsan!
I know that when I started blogging I never considered myself a writer. I think a lot of people feel this way too.
Maybe with a blog we feel it’s more us and not so professional or at least that’s the way it should be.
Be yourself is so dead on. Put your own personality into your writing and remember, write like you’re talking to your good friends because hopefully, that’s what everyone will eventually become.
Thanks for sharing this with us and love it Ehsan.
~Adrienne
Hey Adrienne,
Yeah I agree with you, That is what I was trying to say to Zaheer (Last commenter). Thanks for your tips Adrienne. Thanks for stopping by.
Hello Adrienne,
I’m fully agree with you. What we say not matter that much as compared to how we say it. Be Polite, Be interesting, Be Funny with your writing. And most important be you because real you is much better then copied one.
Great tips Ehsan. I have a passion for writing and have studied it too. But still find that reading is the best education for writing well. Thanks for sharing on Bizsugar.com
Hi Sian Phillips,
I agree with you, Before doing anything we have to read and learn it first. Reading is really the best ever tip to be able to write well.
BTW I love Bizsugar:D. Thanks for stopping by.
Hello Sian.
“To Be Good Writer First We Have To Be A Good Reader.”
The more you read the more you know. The more you know the better you write. The better you write the more audience you will have.
Writing and reading are 2 main parts of any writers life.
Hello Ehsan,
Thanks for entry. Now promote it very hard to be a winner..
Thanks Romy, I will do my best bro.
Hey Ehsan,
Self believe plays a crucial role in how we progress our writing skills.
We must have reassurance in our own abilities, we write and people read.
That’s all that matters.
Thanks for your suggestions Simmeon, In my opinion the no. 1 way to improve writing skills is to read read read.
Thanks for stopping anyway.
Hello Simmeon,
Yeah! you are right. The hardest person to convince on earth that you are a writer is your own self.
Great tips Ehsan,
