Surely,
I’m not in this blogging business for a long time, but in my blogging journey I have come cross many people who can’t
succeed in their blogging career.
A lot of
people try to start blogging every day, most of them fail, and some succeed. Those who fail try different things
with their blogs; most of the cases they don’t know what are they doing and
why. As a professional blogging expert, I know why things don’t work for them.
A couple
of years ago, I was a novice in this blogging profession. I did not know how to
do all these things. I searched “how to blog” in Google many a times. I read,
gathered knowledge, implemented what I learned, got amazing result with my
blog, now I earn a great amount of money from my blog as my blogging career
becomes more and more successful.
I did not
have the intention of making money when I started blogging. I did not even try to be a professional blogger. I
just loved blogging, sensed that it attracts me, that’s the only thing needed
to be successful in this business. Yes, you can also do it! If you follow my
footsteps
You will find a right and a wrong way of
doing everything; most of the cases beginners choose a wrong way to start their
blogging career. Eventually that makes a devastating end of their blogs. Here
is a list of some common mistakes that can prevent you from becoming a
successful blogger.
1) Having
a focus on money making rather than passion, ruins your blogging
career at the very beginning
People
love to join in those things where they find a community, where people share their
passions; they would love to meet
new people with new ideas on a same interest.
When you
blog for your passion it reflects that you love it, you want to share your
innovative ideas with others, you invite others to join you, it’s so genuine.
People love this kind of attitude, rather than a fake attitude having an
intention of only making money.
Those who blog for making money, don’t care for others. They would simply give
some traditional information that everyone knows. If they don’t care for their
audience, why would audience come to their blog again and again? There is no
reason at all!
The magic
formula is very simple…..Love blogging, love your audience….they will love
you!!!
2) If you are too much worried about
“keywords”…..You are just wasting your time!
At the
start of blogging career people become too much worried about their rankings.
They want to come on the top of Google’s first page. So, they emphasize heavily
on keywords. Of course, targeted keywords can bring traffic to your blog, but
do you really know which keyword will work and which won’t work? Take my
words, the words that you have chosen as your targeted keywords, might not be
ones that would work for you.
A lot of
people said me that they work on specific keywords, but are not getting desired
traffic. I ask them, do you even know if these words would work for or not?
Without
knowing much, they waste their time that does not result at all. I would simply
tell you to right informative, great posts that will serve your audience’s
interests, don’t think about keywords. If you are writing with passion, believe
me, keywords will come generally, you don’t need to worry at all.
3) “No” to invest
enough time to your
blog will make your dreams fade too fast!
I know people don’t have the same economic
situation, but everyone wants to have some extra money in their pocket. But are
we really ready for that? When you start blogging, you need to invest enough
time and fulfill the basic requirement for your blog.
Your blog calls for quality articles, but you
don’t want to invest time to do that. Your audiences
want your participation in the blog’s comment section, but you don’t have
enough time due to your busy schedule. Your blog requires new innovative
features, but you are too lazy to think for that.
These are some examples how people ruins their
blogging career by not giving importance to their blog’s performance and
audience. So, don’t take this lightly, its difficult I know, but you just need
to invest good amount of time that makes your blog’s performance better.
4) Considering
blogging as a “Get rich quick” plan is the most common mistake prevailing
To start blogging, it does not take time at all.
Anyone has the capability to start a blog; you don’t need to be a genius to
at all. I can assure you that i am not a genius person still i have succeeded
in this business. Lots of people who enter in this business tend to think
blogging as a get rich quick scheme. By setting and running up a blog,
they think that it will prove to be a profitable business for them. They
consider their blog as a money printing machine where they can print as much
money as they want.
But the reality is different, it takes time to be
successful, you need to be patient, work hard for couple of months, wait and
then you get the real achievement you are looking for.
Just think like this way, you have opened a
guitar shop in a location where there are more than 100 guitar
shops available. You are new in this business. Will people come to you from the
time when you just open your shop? No, they won’t. You need to wait, show your
quality products that you have for them, you need to treat them well, work for
them, think for them, provide good service to them, and then people would start
coming to your shop again and again. It takes time, my friend; you need to be
prepared for this time. Don’t make haste, it can ruin everything!
5) Good appearance your
blog is needed, But spending too much time on it deviates you from your goal
I remember those
days when i started blogging, I did not have a good appearance for my blog, but still audiences were
coming in a great number.
I did not have to do anything except writing quality
articles. That was the thing my audiences were looking for. I served them well,
they were satisfied. In this way, I created loyal audiences who fetch more and
more audiences for my blog. I did not have to spend much time on the blog’s
appearance. Why? Just take an example
You have a guitar shop where people go for buying
guitars not to see how your shop look likes. If you serve them with awesome
guitars, they will come to your shop again and tell others about your shop.
They won’t consider how your shop looks. They just want quality guitars that
serve them well. I am not saying that good appearance is not needed; of course,
you can improve your appearance. But don’t spend too much time on it. Don’t
make it your priority, your priority is to serve your audience and fulfill
their demands.
