7 Common Blogging Mistakes To Avoid
Blogging Mistake #1: Unattractive Blog Design:
The biggest mistake I can ever see that many bloggers puts lot of contents on their blog without having attractive and professional looking blog design.
If you want to make your first time visitor is regular visitor then you must have attractive blog design to catch your readers attention towards your blog.
Tips To Create Attractive Blog Design:
- If you have not a blog designing skill then just spend few dollars to purchase template/theme or choose free but professional looking template/theme and customize it yourself.
- Keep your blog design color scheme simple and eye catchy.
- Use social share and social follow buttons to build good connection with your readers..
- Most important widgets: Newsletter box, Author bio box, Social media buttons, Popular posts, Recent posts.
- Use simple and fast loading fonts like Georgia, Arial, Verdana etc.
Blogging Mistake #2: Focused On Quantity Rather Than Quality
What’s more important for you - Quantity or Quality?
For every blogger quality should be important rather than quantity. This type of blogging mistake I have seen many times. many bloggers usually vying to fill up the blog with heap of posts in the hope of quickly getting a lot of visitors.
Writing few good quality posts on your blog will not give you thousand visitors! but it will give you a loyal readers :) and Writing thousand of posts without quality will surely give you thousand visitors but can you get even one loyal reader for your blog?
Just think about it!
If the quality isn’t good, then your conversions will be low with your readers, so why bother? just try to make great contents in order to get massive traffic to your blog.
Blogging Mistake #3: Don't Have Patience
Every blogger started blogging because he want to make money from it. They take it for granted that success in blogging can be done overnight, but it is not so easy. you need to have a lot of patience, efforts, and consistency in order to succeed.
Patience is most important ingredient to get success in blogging world
I see far too many bloggers who don’t have the patience to build good relationship, they becomes forceful in trying to promote their blog, get lazy in providing great and read worthy content and at the end they fail.
Patience is a success key for every blogger and nobody in the blogging industry who achieved their goal without hard work and patience. so keep some patience and success will follow you.
Blogging Mistake #4: Do Not Taking Advantage Of Search Engines
Why you write articles on your blog, the first reason is you want readers, Right? but how to get more readers for your blog in short span of time.
Social Media!
Only Social Media?
No! you can't get huge traffic from social media for a longer, you should optimize your blog posts in order to get more traffic from Google and other search engines.
So taking maximum advantage of Search Engines is most important for every blogger. but many bloggers "especially newbies" avoids SEO optimization.

Blogging Mistake #5: Lack Of Marketing, Just Focused On Contents
I agree with the guy who made up the statement"Content is king", but we can say that statement only when if we have a combination of great content and marketing, because marketing makes content king.
If you have a great contents on your blog but you don't have enough traffic then how can you say "content is king"
There are several blоggеrѕ оut there who provides great content оn their blog but they are unlisted in competitive blogging world, why?
Marketing Guys Marking!
After publishing post, you should promote your blog post on social networking sites to get instant response on your post. after getting response from your readers you can analyze readers engagement with your post.
I think you got, what I want to say. In short you can’t succeed in blogging by having only great contents. you have to marketing yourself on various social networking sites.
