Blogging is a journey, not a destination. After creating your blog and posting articles for some time, you feel low or overwhelming since your blog traffic is not as good as you expected or you find so much on your blogging plate to be consumed with limited time and money. 

This is natural and has nothing to worry. I also felt this. I blog, therefore I am. When I started to blog three years back, I felt being stranded on this big island of blogging. And slowly I learned the tips and tricks of blogging by trial and error and from my blogging community Write Tribe, BlogARhythm, and Blogchatter. So this post discusses “10 Daily Tasks Every Blogger Should Do To Grow Their Blog”.
