5 Common Blogging Mistakes Every Bloggers Should Avoid

Avoid some common blogging mistakes that many bloggers do as this will help you in the long run.

I remember once I said to one of my friends that I have started a blog for an online living. But with no surprise he ignored it. Then I gave examples of some well-established bloggers and showed their income report too. Finally, he told, this might happen.


He was not wrong. Many new bloggers fail in their initial stage itself because they are not committing some basic stuff while blogging.

Apart from selecting a great template for your blog and a good and unique domain name for your blog/website, many other things are there on which you should focus and not make mistakes.

No doubt, everybody makes mistakes, but one should learn from their mistakes. And learning from your mistakes will make you a leader in your respective fields. This is my personal experience.

So in this article, I am going to tell you some common blogging mistakes that most of the blogger do, but to be a successful blogger you need to avoid that.

These 5 Mistakes Every Bloggers Should Avoid

1. Not making friends who are from same profession

This is the most common mistake that many people do. They usually don't make friends from their profession, in this case blogger. Few bloggers think, why should they make blogger friends. There are many benefit of it-

• They will update you with the latest trend in the blogging.
• They even help you while deciding the topic on which you can write.
• They can help you with the different tools/technologies that you should use to increase the traffic.
• They can also review your blog and can suggest to improve, if something is not correct.

There are many more advantages of it, so i will suggest you to make at least some blogger friends and have some discussion with them at least once in a while. This is a very good practice.

2. Write on a single topic instead of multiple topics

It's a good practice to write on a single topic instead of multiple topics. There are many benefit of it like-

• You can attract the advertiser. Advertiser mainly choose those website which is about some particular product. And here your blogging is your product.
• While writing on particular topic, you can make a base of your regular visitor. This will help you in getting the brand name.

There are many other benefits also, which you can read here.

3. Not using images and captions

This is another mistake that most of the blogger commit. They either not use images or if they use, they don't put a caption on it. It's great saying that-

A picture is worth a thousand words

ie. Even a complex story can be depicted with a simple image. So try to include images in your blog posts wherever necessary. Also, use appropriate title and captions for your used images. As you can see above, I have used a caption which tells why I have used that image in this post. The same applies to search engine also.

If you will not use title and captions, the search engine will not crawl that image and indirectly you will lose some search traffic. And isn't that everything.

So I would rather suggest to include few images, where ever required in your blog posts with proper title and captions.

4. Not replying to the visitor's comment

This is one of the common and biggest mistakes that a blogger does. They don't answer the reader's ask. In blogging, it's very necessary to build a relationship with your visitors. Especially the newbie bloggers should answer the queries raised by your readers.

You only think, you visited any shop and asked for certain things and the shopkeeper didn't answer you. How you will feel? Probably you will not visit that shop again.

The same applies to here also. If you won't reply to their queries, probably they will never return again and you will lose again your valuable visitors.

5. Once written the post, you think it's done

Generally, most of the blogger think that whatever they have written is just great to read and not doing any editing to their post. But it's not true. Even if you have written perfectly the post while writing first time, still it needs editing. Just read once after completing your post and see how much editing it needs.

So take some time around 20-15 minutes and edit the whole post. And then see the effect of it. It's always good practice to make a list of points which you should check while editing like grammar, font, color etc.

Conclusion

No one is perfect and all do less or more mistakes. But the one who learns from their mistakes grows. So consider my above points to make your blog and blogging career successful.

Apart from the above points, keep editing your posts depending on the requirements.
