The 5 P’s of a successful blogger!
Do you have the 5 P’s? What are the 5 P’s? I’ve listed passion as the main “P” you need to become a successful blogger in previous posts. What else do you need?
Yes, passion is first of course… 
According to Encarta Dictionary – PASSION – “intense enthusiasm: a strong liking or enthusiasm for a subject or activity – a passion for blogging!” Well, I put the blogging part in there! When you have passion about a subject or task, others can see it, feel it, believe it. You may not have creative writing abilities, or be able to churn out page after page of original thoughts, but in your assembly of those thoughts, your passion will stand out and people will want to read what you write.
Patience is second on my list… According to Encarta Dictionary – PATIENCE - “capacity for waiting – 
the abiltity to endure waiting or delay.” Anything that is worth having is worth waiting for. Blogging is not a “get rich quick scheme”. Blogging is not “fame overnight”. There are many ways of getting noticed: if you write worthwhile posts, and make yourself noticed, comment on other blogs, share on Twitter you are bound to gain readership. Be patient! Blog and it will come.
Perseverance is third to me… According to Encarta Dictionary – PERSEVERANCE – “determined continuation with something – steady and continued action or belief, usually over a long period of time.” Oh yeah! You definitely need perseverance. Keep at it. If your expectations are realistic, perseverance will be less of a struggle. If you expect to be an overnight blogging success, you might be disappointed. It’s just going to take time. Hang in there!
“Patience and perseverance have a magical effect
before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish.”
John Quincy Adams
Persuasive is fourth! According to Encarta Dictionary – PERSUASIVE – “able or tending to persuade – having the ability to persuade people or the effect of persuading them.” Isn’t life so much easier when you are able to influence someone and convince them of your way of thinking? Or at least one way of thinking.
…and last but not least…
Proactive is fifth. According to Encarta Dictionary – PROACTIVE - “taking initiative – taking the initiative by acting rather than reacting to.” Think ahead – look around, keep your eyes open. Not only is being proactive a diversion for disaster, it is also a great preparation tool. You know how many posts you want to write in a week. You don’t have to wait till the day they are due…(remember school?) Be Proactive, get a few things done ahead of schedule and when unexpected events come up, you will be ready.
Do you have what it takes to be a successful blogger? Do you have the 5 “P’s”?
Toodles – Blog Happy!

@ Stephen
I can’t decide which “P” is the most important. I guess they all interact and each one feeds off the other.
Yes I would say so. Most things are made up of a complex of other things. If I had to narrow it down I would have to say it would be between perseverance and passion. I like to say that if we give up on something we fail 100% of the time. So perseverance is right up there.

@ Stephen
Definitely number one for me is Passion! Passion will encourage perseverance! Without the “want” everything else is difficult!
Great list, glad you referred back to it.
