- Be mindful of who you are blogging for

- Be conscious of writing in an easy-to-understand manner
Do you agree with 100 blog posts? Against?
The following are arguments against and in favor of 100 blog posts.
Opponents: Not always monetizable.
Pros: It's essential to keep going!
As the opponents say, writing 100 blog posts does not necessarily mean generating revenue.
Therefore, if you are looking for a direct approach to revenue, 100 blog posts are not appropriate.
Nevertheless, it is naturally essential to continue to generate revenue from blogging.
It is not an exaggeration to say that continuity is essential in achieving any goal, not just profit.
The reality is that many beginners quit blogging because they cannot continue.
To overcome this reality, the goal of "Write 100 blog posts!
It is a goal that makes a lot of sense.
Therefore, the proponents recommend 100 blog posts.
"I also recommend beginners to set a goal of 100 blog posts!"
Very few people can continue
Although there is no exact data, it is said that only about 10% of all people can continue blogging for a year.
Percentage of people who can keep a blog
- People who can keep a blog for one year: about 10%.
- People who can keep a blog for two years: about 5%.
- People who can keep a blog for three years: Less than 5%.
Many beginners quit blogging because they can't keep up with it.
That's why it's a good idea to set a goal to "keep blogging" first.
Why do I recommend 100 blog posts?
It is essential to continue blogging if you have a goal.
For example, let's say that your ultimate goal in blogging is to earn a stable income.
Of course, if you don't keep blogging, income is difficult.
(Some people may earn a lot of money with just a few posts, but it is a rare case.)
The same is true if your goal in blogging is not to make money but to acquire writing skills or SEO skills.
It's not something you can get right away, so you need to blog continuously.
"I believe that blogging is an absolute requirement in achieving any goal!"
However, it is not easy for a beginner to continue blogging, no matter how strong-willed you are.
Therefore, I recommend that you first set a goal of 100 blog posts.
Here are four reasons why I recommend 100 blog posts for beginners.
Because it leads to continuity
Of course, it's impossible to achieve 100 blog posts in one day.
You can achieve 100 blog posts by continuing.
In short, "aiming for 100 blog posts" means "continuing blogging."
I recommend 100 blog posts because it leads to the "continuity" necessary to achieve your goal.
Because you can do quantity & improve quality
In general, to achieve something, you need to work on the amount & improve quality.
For example, let's say you set a goal to lift a soccer ball 100 times.
Of course, if you don't practice a lot, your lifting will never get better (especially if you are a beginner).
Therefore, it takes a certain amount of practice to complete 100 lifts.
After a certain amount of practice, you will start to repeat trial and error, saying, "This way of kicking is not stable, so let's change it.
This will improve quality, and the number of times you can lift will gradually increase.
This process is the theory of goal achievement.
100 blog posts can be a goal that follows the theory of goal achievement.
The Theory of Goal Attainment
- Write posts
- (quantity) pile up.
- Find improvements from readers' responses
- Repeat trial and error to improve
- The quality of your posts will gradually increase.
- You will get closer to your goal in blogging.
100 blog posts is an excellent "goal" to achieve your "ultimate goal in blog management"!
Because it's easy to control
One of the reasons I recommend 100 blog posts is that they are easy to control.
Goals that are difficult to control
- Make 100 yen from my blog by the end of the year
- Achieve 100 followers
- Receive 100 pieces of Valentine's Day chocolate
Goals that are easy to control
- Write 00 posts per month
- Tweet 00 times every day
- Read 100 books a year
Goals related to blogging revenue are hard to control.
Often, things don't work out the way you want them to, and you may feel like you have no talent when you don't achieve your goals.
(If you set a revenue goal, there is a risk that you will end up saying, "I can't make any money, so I'll quit.." if you don't achieve it.)
On the other hand, 100 blog posts is a goal that is easy to control.
It is entirely up to you whether you will achieve 100 blog posts or not.
In other words, you can consistently achieve 100 blog posts if it depends on you.
Since it is challenging to lose motivation due to unachieved goals, it is recommended to continue blogging!
In addition, you can freely decide the path (pace) to write 100 blog posts.
In addition, you can freely decide the pace at which you want to complete 100 blog posts so that you can progress steadily at your own pace without straining yourself.
You will not be tempted to quit blogging because it is too hard.
Because it is an exciting goal
Goals that are not easy to clear are more worth aiming for.
Naturally, if the goal is worth aiming for, you will be more motivated to work hard and clear it.
If you have a plan worth striving for, you will probably have a stronger desire to work hard to achieve it.
100 blog posts are a good goal and a worthwhile goal.
It's not an easy goal to achieve, and I'm sure many of you will be excited about it.
The more excited you are, the more motivated you are to reach 100 blog posts!
The more excited you are, the more motivated you will be.
Working hard for 100 blog posts means working hard to continue blogging.
I recommend 100 blog posts because it leads to the continuity necessary to achieve any goal!
"If the goal is achievable and easy to understand for you, it doesn't necessarily have to be 100 posts.
If you want to make a smaller goal, make it a plan that you need to continue for at least one month or more to achieve."
Make sure you set a deadline for achieving it!
There is one thing to keep in mind when setting a goal of 100 blog posts.
There is one thing to keep in mind when setting a goal of 100 blog posts, and that is that you should select a deadline for achieving it.
If you don't set a deadline, you won't be able to judge whether you have achieved 100 blog posts or not.
For example, let's say you don't set a deadline.
If you don't set a deadline, you won't know when you can judge whether you have achieved 100 blog posts or not.
I'll write 100 blog posts in a year! (If you set a deadline)
- After one year, you can judge whether you have achieved 100 blog posts or not.
I'll write 100 blog posts! (If you did not set a deadline)
- When will you know if you've achieved 100 blog posts?
Not only that, if you don't set a deadline, you won't be able to set a schedule for achieving 100 blog posts.
I'll write 100 blog posts in a year! (If you set a deadline)
- To write 100 blog posts in a year, You need to register at least 8 posts in a month.
- To write more than 8 posts in a month, I need to write more than 2 posts in a week.
Write 100 blog posts! (If I didn't set a deadline)
- You can't make a schedule.
If you can't make a schedule, it means that you can't evaluate your progress of 100 blog posts in a short period.
In the above example, on the other hand, if you have a schedule, you can judge every week whether you can write more than two posts per week.
If you are not, you should find out why and write.
On the other hand, if you can write, you will feel a sense of accomplishment in no small measure.
This leads to "blogging continuity" and "cycle of improvement," which leads to personal growth!
However, if you don't have a schedule = you can't evaluate your progress, you won't feel a sense of accomplishment or repeat the trial and error process.
In short, you can't grow in the process of aiming for 100 blog posts.
"If you don't set a deadline, it won't make sense as a goal, so make sure you select a set deadline!"
Introducing the characteristics of people who don't keep blogging
Here are four features of people who can't keep a blog going as a supplement.
Characteristics of People Who Can't Keep a Blog
- Dabbling in too many things
- The theme of your blog does not suit you
- It hurts your life
- Comparing yourself with others
Dabbling in too many things
Many blogging beginners tend to dabble in a variety of things.
It's not uncommon for people to be so motivated that they start doing all sorts of things, only to end up doing everything halfway and neglecting the blog.
To prevent this from happening, try to concentrate on writing posts first.
The theme of your blog does not suit you.
If the theme of your blog is not something that you are interested in or something that you have spent your time on (or want to spend your time on), it will be difficult to continue at once.
Of course, it's easier to continue with something you're interested in, right?
For example, you are more likely to continue watching an anime you are interested in than one you are not.
It's the same with blogging.
Running a blog on a subject you have no interest in or have never spent time on (or don't want to spend time on) is not fun.
If you don't enjoy it, it will be challenging to find material for blog posts.
As a result, it becomes challenging to continue blogging, so I recommend choosing your blog theme carefully.
Check out the following post for a detailed explanation of choosing a blog
It hurts your life
There must be many people who have started blogging on the side.
I'm sure many of you write posts after your day job.
Writing blog posts can be both fun and time-consuming.
It is not uncommon to stay up late at night working on a post, thinking, "I'm almost finished.
As a result, you may end up neglecting your main work due to a lack of sleep.
If your day job is neglected, you will not continue blogging.
If you let your blog distract you from your day job, you will not continue blogging.
Give priority to your core business and try to manage your blog by distributing the work within a limited time.
Comparing yourself with others
When running a blog, you may be tempted to compare yourself with others, such as "I succeeded in making a hundred thousand yen in a month!
"Achieved 100,000 hits!
Or "Achieved 100,000 hits!
Even if it's not about revenue or access, many beginners lose motivation to continue blogging because they compare themselves to others and think, "I'm not even close.
However, the starting point of blogging is different from others, and the knowledge and skills you have are also additional.
Therefore, it is wrong to compare yourself with others and feel happy or sad.
You should be comparing yourself to blogging is not other people, but your past self.
Find the points where you have grown more than your past self and motivate yourself to keep blogging!
5 Tips for Continuing Your Blog to 100 Posts
Some people say, "I don't know if I can continue blogging until I have 100 posts."
So, here are five tips to continue blogging up to 100 posts.
5 Tips for Continuing
- Don't get too caught up in numbers
- Write about what you are interested in and what you have been spending your time on
- Set aside a little time every day to write posts
- Aim for about 70% completion
- Make friends
Don't get too caught up in the numbers.
The first tip is, "don't get too caught up in the numbers.
Especially if your reason for starting a blog is to make money on the side, numbers are always a concern.
If you're determined to make a lot of money blogging, don't get too caught up in the numbers.
Suppose you are committed to making a lot of money from your blog.
In that case, you are probably focusing on the number of accesses and earnings.
However, a blog takes more than a few months to make money.
Depending on the genre of your blog and other factors, it may take a year or more to get back on track.
If you only focus on the numbers, you may lose motivation when the results are not there.
Therefore, in the beginning, don't worry too much about the number of accesses or earnings, and focus all your energy on creating posts.
Write about what you are interested in and what you have been spending your time on
The second tip is to write about what you are interested in and what you have been spending your time on.
It is essential not to run out of material to continue blogging up to 100 posts.
Writing a blog will naturally become challenging if you run out of material.
If you are running a blog in a genre you are not interested in.
It is not easy to find material for your posts.
You may end up saying, "I have nothing to write about anymore...".
On the other hand, if your blog is about something you are interested in or have spent a lot of time on, it is unlikely that you will run out of material.
You will naturally find something to write about, and the difficulty of continuing to blog will be significantly reduced!
"I don't recommend running a blog in a genre you have no interest in just because it's easy to make money.
The difficulty of continuing will increase, so try to run a blog on a theme related to something you are interested in or have spent time on."
Set aside a little time every day to write posts.
The third tip is to set aside a little time every day to write posts.
For example, just like studying or strength training, it will be challenging to continue if you skip writing a post even for a day.
It's not uncommon to stop updating your blog for a few months before you know it because you start thinking of excuses like "I'm too tired today" or "I have time tomorrow.
Try to spend time on your blog every day to prevent this from happening, no matter how busy or tired you are.
You can spend as little as a few minutes on your blog.
It is essential to "work on it every day.
However, it is not easy to do it every day.
That's why I recommend that you make blogging a habit!
Aim for about 70% completion
The fourth tip is to aim for about 70% completion.
It's easy for beginners to fall into the trap of aiming for perfection and taking too much time to create a post.
If you always aim for perfection, you may run out of gas before reaching 100 blog posts.
Of course, the quality of your posts is essential.
However, if you don't publish it, it's the same as not writing the post.
Since it is essential to get it out into the world, I recommend aiming for about 70% completion.
The good thing about blogs is that you can always revise your posts after publication.
Even if it is only 70% complete when you publish it, you can get it closer to 100% later.
Make friends
The last tip is to make friends.
This is a bit of a hurdle, so it's more of an "if you can make it" tip, but having a blogging buddy will help me continue!
Keeping a blog is a lonely struggle.
Keeping a blog is a lonely struggle, and as you work alone at the computer, there may be moments when you feel mentally defeated.
However, if you have a friend aiming for 100 blog posts with you, you will be encouraged that he is also working hard!
They can be a source of encouragement.
They can also be your sounding board, so you can overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of continuing to blog together.
However, don't spend too much time interacting with your blogging buddies.
It may interfere with your original goal of 100 blog posts, so be careful.
"If you're aiming for 100 blog posts, there will surely be opportunities to make friends!
Well, why don't you seize that opportunity and make some blogging buddies!"
3 Points to be aware of during the process of 100 posts
If you are going to write 100 blog posts, there are a few things you should be mindful of.
Whether you are aware of them or not, there is a high possibility that you will have different results after you finish writing 100 posts.
Although not directly related to the continuation of your blog, here are three points that you should be aware of.
The 3points
- Be aware of who you are blogging for
- Think about what you are writing about
- Be conscious of writing in an easy-to-understand manner
It is natural that writing a blog while using your head will lead to better skills than not thinking at all.
Not only will it improve the quality of the posts themselves, but it will also significantly affect your growth!
Be aware of who you are blogging for
In writing 100 blog posts, you should know who you are writing the posts for.
For example, let's say you are running a blog that introduces recommended study methods for people who are not good at programming.
In this case, your target audience is not good at programming.
It would be very high if you introduced a hard way to learn programming without considering your target audience.
They will move away to another blog that is appropriate for them.
It is essential to imagine "who you are writing for" so that your target audience will not think it is relevant.
Make sure you have a clear idea of your target audience and convey the information they want to know in a way that is easy to understand!
Think about what you are writing about
When writing a blog post, make sure you know what you will write about.
This is because if you don't decide what you are going to write about in advance, the content of your post may become blurred or difficult to understand.
For example, let's say you are writing a blog about studying English independently, and you want to introduce a recommended study method.
If you don't think about what you will write about beforehand, you may not introduce the essential study methods.
What the reader wants to know is the recommended study method.
However, suppose the information they want is not written in detail.
In that case, they will immediately leave the post saying, "The information I want is not in here...".
To prevent this from happening, decide what you will write about and create a post according to that.
Be conscious of writing in an easy-to-understand manner
Another important aspect of writing a blog post is to make it easy to understand.
One of the most common things that beginners tend to do in blogging is to use complex words in their writing.
This is especially common when writing posts on confidence or having expertise in topics.
However, blogs are written for readers.
Even if it is easy to understand, it is meaningless if your readers cannot understand it.
Be conscious of communicating in an easy-to-understand manner so that your readers can easily understand!
Summary

Now, let's look back at the contents of this post.
