5 mistakes Beginners do in their Blogging Career

Ordinary Blogging mistakes that Bloggers do

Today’s post is related to the people who have just started their Blogs. From time to time the competition in Blogging industry is rising and Google is doing a decent job to make sure that the quality of the content is not compromised. That is why I have chosen this topic to guide new bloggers and to tell them that what should they do and what should they not.

 

Here are those 5 usual mistakes bloggers do.

Choose a competitive niche

Majority of people start blogging to just earn money, I mean despite starting it for passion or enthusiasm they just made it for money and choose a highly competitive niche because it has a great opportunity to earn money. And that is their first biggest mistake.

Yes, You must not choose a highly competitive niche for your Blog because as much competition is there as much effort you need to put on your Blog to achieve things what you have desired.

I am not saying that you should not ever choose a niche which is chosen by many others, I am just saying that you should not choose it for just earning money. Choose it if you have some extra ordinary skills in that field or no one will hear you because there are many other guys who are better than you.

However, if you feel you have something really special to offer or to share then try your luck. And make sure that you are promoting your content or your product everywhere around the internet, especially on those platforms who are related to your niche and are already famous or familiar to the people.

But still for getting high amount of traffic from Search Engines for a competitive niche you will need a great amount of backlinks for your Blog. Beware! do not use cheap SEO tricks to build backlinks because that can cause you a Google penalty which will result to a complete disappearance of your Blog from search engines.

Choose an irrelevant domain name

Yet another basic mistake that Bloggers do, They choose a completely irrelevant domain name which has nothing to do with their niche.

Remember that search engines will prefer those websites on their first pages who have the keyword of their niche in their domain.

For Example if your blog is about Mobile Accessories and your keyword is the same and you haven’t add your keyword in your domain. And a man searches mobile accessories on Google Search Engine then the Blogs or websites who have this keyword in their domain will be preferred instead of your blog because  the haven’t have that keyword present in your domain. So make sure to put your niche keyword in your domain.

You can read many tutorials about SEO on internet. Here is my tutorial for a basic understanding of SEO

Choose the wrong platform

Choosing a good platform to start your Blog is the most important part once you have decided to start a Blog. There are many platforms where you can start your Blog, For example Blogger, WordPress, Tumblr and many more.

Blogger and Tumblr are completely free platforms to host a Blog but they have many limitations and I personally prefer WordPress on both of them because of the dynamics it has. You can install different plugins to make your Blog look more advanced.

WordPress is also good for SEO. You can read my tutorial about WordPress.

They don’t use a SEO plugin

After choosing wordpress the most common mistake people do in start of their career is that they never install a SEO plugin. If you will not use plugins to advance your Blog then you must not waste your money on buying a hosting plan for WordPress and must rely on those free platforms.

What makes WordPress different from others is its dynamics and what gives wordpress that many dimensions is its themes and plugins.

You can get solution for any thing you want by these plugins and you can choose any desired theme for free. However, some are expensive and you must choose them wisely.

They expect high earning in Beginning

You must not expect high commissions or earnings from any source in start of your Blogging career. First make authority and get fame for your Blog. Have a decent amount of traffic and then expect any earnings from your Blog.

For any business you must first invest both money and time and then you can even expect an outcome from it.

That is why establish Bloggers ask people to not start Blogging for money. Believe me it is some thing which is completely related to passion and dedication.

However, if you are inspired by someone’s earning then it could be a good inspiration too. I didn’t meant to say that you can not start Blogging if you want money. Ofcourse, you can start Blogging but what I was trying to say is that you should be passionate about it. Don’t do it just for money, Enjoy it and be positive.

Conclusion

In the end I will advice everyone of you to first think about your Blog for 50 minutes.

Remember your imagination can be the next invention which can change the world.

Ask your self that what is your speciality and how can you share it with other people and how can you monetize it?

Have a long breath and now answer your self. That I have this thing very unique and this and this and I can share it with people in this way and this can be the best way to monetize it, LOL. Sorry for using so many “THIS”s 😀

And if you think that you haven’t have anything which could be monetize then try to learn something which has a great opportunity on internet and after becoming an expert, share you learnings with others.

Or you can make a Blog where you will share your daily learnings about any specific niche. Lets say that you are learning SEO and you want to share your daily lessons with people then you can have a domain name like this “KatelearnsSEO” which will be great because you have your name in the domain, the soul of your Blog “Learns” which means you are learning and SEO your niche keyword.

But be dedicated whatever you do and before getting involve into anything, LEARN. Get benefit from other people experience. Make sure you have enough knowledge about your business and if you are a Blogger, your Blog is your business.

And the final word is that have patience, Patience will be the most important asset for anyone who wants to start a Blog.
