10 Common Blogging Mistakes

You see most people took up blogging for many different reasons

Some just want to share their Personal life, some for business, hobby and while some are only for the money

I am not judging here

But for whatever the reason may be.

Here are some Blogging mistake tips to solve and help to Grow your Blog:

1) Not being Consistent

Blogging in other terms is also called Writing

This is one of the main problems many newbie Bloggers commit

You need to keep your Blog fresh with new content so that your readers can come back for more.

If you post twice a week or thrice, whatever the number may be, maintain a schedule and be consistent

2) You’re writing Only for yourself

When you are writing your Blog post

You need to understand that, you are writing for your audience and not just for yourself

People read blogs to understand and learn valuable tips in order to help them solve a problem

So, make your blog posts educational and also aim to help your readers get something out of your article

3) Your blog isn’t user-friendly

Have you ever land on a website and find it so hard to navigate around

There is no proper categories, search bar, and all the basic essentials

Make sure that your blog isn't one of that type

4) Security

Most people tend to leave the most important part of your Blog or website

It’s called "SECURITY"

These days anything can happen at any moment

Someone might hack into your blog through a plugin, themes, email and what not

Or sometimes the server may have DOS attack

Whatever the reason being, the bottom line is that you need to keep your blog secure at all times

You also need to backup your blog in case anything happens.

Here is a detailed guide from Shouttips on How to secure your Blog

5) Themes

If your site design is ugly, you will lose out a lot of potential customer and audience

"The first impression is the last impression" is true in this case

So, you need to keep your site design in top notch and professional

That is where theme design comes in

However, most of the professional theme are premium ones

But not to worry, Here is a list of 35 free themes which are SEO optimized and mobile friendly.

6) Your blog post isn’t properly formatted

You need to properly edit and format your article before hitting the publish button

My personal recommendation is to start with an introduction, use headings and sub-headings as they allow to skim throughout the content in a glance.

A paragraph shouldn't be more than 5-6 line and try to keep every sentence as  short as possible

Always, include a conclusion too.

7)  Grammatical Errors

Try to keep your Blog post free from grammatical error as much as possible

You can use tools like

Grammarly

Ginger

JetPack

PaperRater

 Slick Write

 1Checker

Online corrections etc to help you with that

No one likes to read a post filled with grammar mistakes or misspellings.

There is no direct ranking factor on this but most of the top ranking sites tend to have no grammatical errors

8) Monetizing Too Early

If you are just starting out blogging

I would recommend to not put Ads all over the place

There are many more effective and profitable ways to monetize

First try to deliver value to your audience through your content, build up readership and monetize from that

If you have only 3-5 blog post and if there are pop-ups and ads all over the place.

Chances of people coming back for more of your content are less unless your site has some real value to offer

9) Write catchy headlines

Do you know why most of the Buzzfeed articles have more CTR

It’s  because their headline is super appealing and many can't help clicking on it.

Twist up your headline by adding numbers and years

Always try to add one adjective to your headline

Example are: Best, Top, Amazing, Spectacular, etc

Tell me which one will you click "How to grow your Instagram followers " or

"30 highly actionable ways to grow your Instagram followers"

Obviously the second one right?

Or You can also use tools to Generate Headline for your Blog.

Here is a list of 16 Awesome Tools to help you generate your next Blog headline

10) Promote Your Blog/Article

Most people never bothered to promote their article

They expect as if the audience will come to their Blog and read their article

Even if the article is fine or super amazing, without proper promotion, it wouldn't get the value and the spotlight it deserved

There is nothing very special to do to promote your Blog

Just follow these basic steps for your next article promotion

CONCLUSION

Are all these the blogging mistakes most people made?

Obviously NO!!

But these will be enough or sufficient for now

If you follow these steps, chances are you will grow over time

It takes time to grow a blog

You cannot make it overnight, but if you are consistent and patient

You will make it someday
