If you’re the one who’s just starting off blogging and don’t have a proper idea of what are mistakes you should avoid and what will impact your blog if you have done those mistakes.

I know how tough it gets in the start when you’re just starting and there is a lack of guidance when you need anything or if you’re stuck anywhere. Most people just start off early and don’t notice the mistakes they are making as a blogger and what are the things they need to stop to make a successful blog.

If you’re looking for a guide that will help you to avoid the mistakes that a blogger should stop making in their initial journey to multiple their revenue and visitors.

Successful Blog VS Failure Blog

I know that you’re curious to learn about the mistakes which you should avoid as a beginner but before moving forward in the guide you need to understand what is a successful blog and a failure blog with the context to mistakes you should avoid as a blogger.

As a result, avoiding mistakes and just walking blindly with the failed blog will not lead you to growth and your revenue will be stagnant. Let’s dive into some of the common mistakes bloggers make in the initial journey of blogging.

8 Mistakes Bloggers Makes In Blogging

1. Starting With Free Platforms

The biggest making your make is starting with a free platform. Now let’s discuss what are free platforms and how can you identify a free blog. If your domain has .blogspot or .wix or Squarespace then you’re in trouble.

2. Not Building Email List

The second biggest mistake bloggers make is not building an email list. Most people are unbothered with building email lists thinking that it will not benefit and why we should bother our readers every week.

This was the common mistake we had to make in our initial days of blogging because we were new to this and didn’t spend even a thought on this. we were only pushing content on our website and unbothered with the thought of building an email list.

3. Not Marketing Your Content

If you’re not spending enough time to market your content then you’re making the biggest mistake because it’s very important to spend time on marketing your content.

4. Not Paying Attention To Quality Content

If you’re not paying attention to the quality content then you’re making the biggest mistake in blogging because quality stands out and makes your content unique among others out there.

5. Website Speed

This is one of the mistakes bloggers make initially because they focus so much on the blog design and are unfocused on the website speed. We did the same in beginning.

One day we read a blog like this and decided to check up on the website speed with page speed insights

6. Poor Website Design

Website design is the first thing that a visitor will see if you have an ugly design then they will bounce from the website. Sometimes we don’t focus on this as a beginner we only push out content and the website and keep monitoring visitors.

7. Deviating From The Niche

Now, these is the mistakes bloggers make in the initial days of blogging they will just deviate from the niche. Now, what do I mean with this context?

Simply if you have a niche in health and fitness then the content on the website should be related to health and fitness not about trending news that’s the real money lies.

8. Too Thin Content

When we started we wrote too thin content thinking it will be liked by the readers but it turned out to be a disaster now what were the things we were missing out on by writing thin content?
