Bloggers who have reached great heights have made mistakes, fallen down but again stood up and worked hard to get the blog in high positions in rankings. One thing which all of the top bloggers have in common is that they haven't made the biggest mistakes all the modern bloggers make and thats the reason they have got so far.
I am blogging from 2014 and have seen many bloggers come and go and those who reached the top haven't given up on blogging come what may. Then only they reached such great heights. Many modern bloggers just give up when they encounter mistakes and this makes me wonder if they knew what mistakes they were making then they could be on a totally different level.
Biggest mistakes bloggers make
Don't invest time
Bloggers nowadays just want to start a blog, put a few posts and expect money to come quickly. No. Blogging is like a job. You need to invest time and work hard on a growing audience of your blog. You need to design the blog, publish posts on your blog, share your posts on social media and most importantly stay devoted to your blog. If you don't invest time in your blog, then your blog will not grow as you expect it to be.
Don't Invest strategically
You need to make a budget on how much you are spending on your blog, how much you are receiving in return and how much you are profit in the blog. You can't just keep spending money on blogging and then get nothing from it. Many bloggers I have seen, first by hosting for about 70-100$, install WordPress and then spend about 100$ on themes plus about 200$ on plugins. What are you doing man? You don't need to invest like hell on the blog not when not necessary. If all you want to do is just make a normal blog, then why not go for a blogger? Make a blogger blog and join a 12$ domain and then blog on it. Blogger provides all the basic functions required for blogging. Premium themes are even available for bloggers on ThemeForest and special AMP themes are released for bloggers. Then why invest so much when you can get it done in small amounts.
Don't make presence felt
This is the biggest mistake that most bloggers do. You can't just depend on search engine traffic for getting views. You have to share your posts everywhere. If you are a blogger then your whole group of friends should visit on your blog once a week. You need to promote your blog to all the audiences around the world. Make a useful book and then trademark each and every page with the name of your blog. Promote it to maximum people possible. If you don't promote your blog then you will surely get less traffic.
Don't write UNIQUE content
This is one of the reasons for most blogs to go down on search engines. I will make you understand this through example. Let's assume there are 5 books for learning Java but you select head first Java. Why? Do the other books lack content? No. Then why? The way of teaching. It's unique. Always ask your self then what is special about my blog that visitors will always keep visiting my blog? You got it. Your blog should have a specialty. There should be something that no other blogs can offer. Then be it simplicity or anything. Even just the way of writing your content can make you special. WAbetainfo is the blog that has been there for a long time. Why? Because it has a specialty of telling the upcoming changes on Whatsapp before anyone else even notices it. If your blog has something like the above blogs to offer then your blog will definately get exposure.
These are the most common and the biggest mistakes many bloggers so. If you are making these mistakes I suggest you rethink your strategy again for more successful blogging.
