The Ultimate Guide To Fail Blogs
What is the one criteria to become a successful blogger? Avoid mistakes like plagues. While it’s definitely forgivable to make mistakes due to carelessness, it’s wrong if you are not even aware of it in the first place. Recognize these 7 mistakes to avoid falling into the same trap millions have before you.
1. Your writing lack professionalism – What’s the key to good writing? Simple and error free. Be sure to always edit your articles and check for typos, misspellings, lost punctuation and other mistakes that signal your lack of professionalism.
2. Your blog revolves around you – Stop talking about yourself already. I don’t know you personally, and I couldn’t care less about your ramblings. Tell me something I can use in my own life. Facts, stories, not boring personal stuff.
3. You’re repeating what others are saying – If this is your plan to reach blogging success, you’re not going to make it. What every blog needs is uniqueness, and unique certainly doesn’t come from repeating what has been said.
4. Oh no, not your favorite music on auto-play! – So as soon as I access your blog, the ukulele string quartet starts playing? I’d rather hear an accordion band. Don’t add music to your site. Half the people won’t like it and the other half will find it’s a distraction.
5. Nothing but a wall of text – I’ve written many articles on what makes a good articles. Not once is this point missed out. It’s that important. And remember to put some relevant pictures to go along with your articles. It may take some time to find one, but it’s well worth the effort.
6. You post once a month – The worst you could do to kill your blog is by writing one hell of an article and leave it till next month before you get your new post up. For established bloggers, they might be able to pull this off. But if your blog is new, I recommend at least three posts a week for the first couple of months.
7. Your blog design is no good. When we start blogging, we always have the tendency to go for free WordPress templates. While I’m not totally against the idea, but I’m sure you heard the phrase, you get what you pay. In the case of “free” templates, it’s going to hurt you more than do you good.
Good news is, its never too late to correct these mistakes.
