6. What are disadvantage from blog!
You feel Alone
This is a common problem among full time blogger. They feel alone. They miss their earlier partners. They even miss those people who create problems during work. It is a very bitter truth of blogging. You have to work alone till you struggle hard and find new opportunity to expand your work. Sometimes this lead to big frustration, even if you planning to full time blogging, select a partner and get a room or small office and work together. Since you will be your own boss but you will be giving discipline towards your online job.
Economy condition
I know many bloggers who struggle with their full time blogging. They love blogging but they don’t have a fix source of income. Some choose freelance writing job for earning money and few choose to depend on their parents to fulfill the need of money.
No work while you are ill
We are human and every human gets ill. This is tough time for those blogger who work alone. They don’t get time to update their blog and it ultimately results in loss of blog income and traffic. Their is no best solution of this problem. You can either request to your friends to update your blog or you can hire any professional writer to work for you in your bad time.
Discipline
Blogging requires discipline. Most of the bloggers plan to work day and night while moving from day job to full time blogging. But very few of them maintain a discipline in life. The reason behind this is freedom and plenty of time in life to enjoy every moment of this opportunity.
