Beware of Mortal and Immortal Contents
Making money from blog is probably the most popular business at present. Thousands of people are diving into the blogging world everyday with a hope of making money online. But a very few of them reach the point where they dream to be at. This happens because most of them are unaware of what they should do and what they should avoid.
While there is no end of niches, most of the people start blogging into one of the busiest topic, Technology. I myself blog on this topic, too. As long as you are blogging with a serious motivation, you have to be aware of the type of content you create for your blog. As you need success, you have to be motivated and your blogging needs to be planned as well.
Today, I will tell you something you most probably haven’t noticed or heard about earlier. There are two types of contents for blog. One is mortal while the other one is immortal. Ever asked yourself whether your contents are mortal or immortal? I suspect you didn’t. Before you ask yourself this important question, let me tell you what a content that lives or a content that dies is.
Try Building a shopping center rather than a graveyard! 
Content that Lives
Contents here that help or teach people in any matter are immortal, because these are the contents that anytime anyone might want to read. For example, in your technology blog, if you publish a post writing blogging tips, computer or internet tips, wordpress tutorials, etc, they will be necessary of all time. Even after ten years later, there will be people in need of those posts. So, if you write contents that will help people in any way, they are sure to live. If you want to make sure the immortality of your content, just ask yourself if your content is going to lose its value years later.
Content that Dies
On the contrary, there are some contents that die. For instance, if you have a blog about social media updates/news, you’re creating mortal contents on that blog. You write a post on that blog whenever Google or Facebook releases a new feature or closes down any existing service. You immediately publish a post whenever you see something new and exciting in the technology world. But these contents do not remain new for too long. Contents of this type are most likely to be useless a little later, probably a few weeks. That’s exactly why I call them as mortal contents. Few years later, these contents won’t help anybody. So, they will simply die.
Keep one fact in your mind that if your post or content doesn’t teach, help, or solve problem of anybody, none is likely to read them. People come to your blog and spend time just to read something useful, helpful, and written in a creative manner. You won’t read a post about “Google Releases its First browser, Google Chrome” anymore, right? So, if you spend time creating mortal contents, you won’t get expected pageviews everyday, as your archive is a graveyard.
But, This Might Not Happen Always
If you look around, you will see lots of hugely popular blogs full of mortal contents such as TechCrunch, ReadWriteWeb, etc. So, it’s easy to realize that mortal content doesn’t always fail to achieve success. With this post, I do not discourage anyone to create blogs with mortal content; instead, I just tell you that it takes time to gain success with mortal content and it’s a whole lot harder than blogs with immortal contents. What I wanted to draw in this post is, your blog is MOST LIKELY to die with mortal contents, but none of us do know the future. If you work hard, you may as well reach your expected position with your blog at time.
Live or Die, Make Your Choice
Watched the movie series, SAW? You can compare your blog with those in trap of the Jigsaw killer. When you create a blog, you should imagine yourself in an almost unsurvivable trap with lots of others. You may not be able to defeat others in your neighborhood, but you have to at least save your existence. All you need to live in Blogging world are patience, motivation, planning, willing to give before you get, and all the virtues of an entrepreneur.
Now, if you’re a blogger of early stages, I would like to say, “Live or Die, make your choice!”
