Self learning in Blogging is very good for those who don’t want to spend to learn or those who don’t want mentorship. But self learning in Blogging can be time consuming. It might could take 2 - 4 years(or maybe months or even hours it depends) to learn something that you would have learnt from a Expert blogger and step up your blogging game in few days.
quote me right; I am not condemning self learning because about 60% of the blogging journey depends on self learning. But always get a good mentor at the start(not necessarily though,)
Check the stories of top bloggers, a higher percentage of them actually closed their first blog and started afresh.
Why?
because they might have missed out from some vital information as a beginner. Therefore their first site lacked expertise touch, and probably couldn't be revived
So there had to create a new one to implement that one vital step they missed out along the line to get a desired result. If they were properly informed, then I am not sure they would have missed out the target from the start.
