8 Mistakes Newbie Bloggers Always Make (and how to avoid it)
November 06, 2017
Are you a new blogger?
Then, you are in the right place.
Let me guess, you must be so excited to start writing and sharing what you're passionate about with other people, right? I know that it's hard for a new blogger to start growing apace in the blogosphere. Not every blogger was enthusiastic as you, some might fail before they even get going.
but, it's possible for us to make mistakes, just like me. I did a lot of mistakes but I try to improve time by time. Here I list 8 mistakes that I have made as a newbie blogger that I want you to know and avoid them.
I believe that you can be an interesting blogger!

Here I give you what you need:
Stop being lazy. Spend sometimes to blogwalk and improve your networking. Enlarge your circle. The more people you engage, the more people will know you and your blog. Avoid doing things by myself, have friends have fun! If you don't have time to spend, allocate one or two hours in your weekend to just sit in front of your blog and write for a week. Schedule the posting wisely.
2. Unrelevant Content
Create content that is Relevant, Interesting, Fresh, Entertaining. Never be boring and broad. Boring is death to a blog. For example, a fresh content is about the status quo like write some pieces of advice to counter heat stroke when it is extreme global warming.

3. Leave the Comments Dangling
Love on your readers. There is no greater gift than when someone takes the time to comment on your blog. Never take that for granted. So, reply to their comments, don't let them dangling on the comment space alone.

4. Copy Paste From Other
Sometimes you might be deserted of an idea, well don't copy from others. Read more and generate your idea from it. Make yours unique. Duplicated content also will pull down your blog quality and ranking. So don't be a copycat. Try to be you. People won't judge if you try your best but people will judge if they found you replicate others.

5. Bad Skill in Paragraphing
What if I write a long paragraph without spacing and small fonts?
I guess you will turn to the next leaf or quickly close my page. Don't be so boring, make it colorful and explicit what you want to tell your readers. For example, bold the keywords, use a different color on each of your points. Like what I'm doing now, I use red color on each point to help you focus more on the topic.
6. Ignore the Statistic and Blog Growth
Get updates about your blog growth. Take this seriously. You have to know your blog condition. Connect your blog with Google Analytic to have a greater experience, such as the audiences overview, audiences behavior and where they come from. All of this may help you to decide what to blog.
7.Size of Images
Three tips! First, use a suitable size of images for your blog. Second, edit them to make it more interesting and pleasing. Third, don't use the same image. If you wrongly choose the size of images, the image quality will look so poor and it influences readers interest. Beware!

8. Unrelated and Dull Title
Choosing a great title also play a big role in blogging. Use a popular keyword that probably is used by the readers to search. You may find some pages that offer you the service to suggest a great keyword. For example, How to start a blog. Many people including me will search this at our very first time to start blogging.

ReplyDeleteSlalu je baca blog org lain but malas nk tggl kan comment ��
Dulu dulu Amer macam tu lah... tapi sekarang dah start belajar komen2 dekat entry orang haha
DeleteI'm quite afraid of no 2. I keep wondering if my blog content is good and relevant to all. Risau je tiap kali hit publish button. Cuma sekarang, just post je anything yang rasa nak share coz I always keep in mind that, blog adalah tempat menyimpan kenangan sendiri dan kita mesti suka apa yang kita tulis sebelum orang lain suka. So tulis lah apa saja asalkan berguna. Hihi.
ReplyDeleteIF ada yang boleh diperbaiki di blog Siqah, mohon tunjuk ajar ye :)
Love your thought. I also have the same thought with you. Sometime I feel like my story is yucksss and silly. Who want to read this? hahaha... by the way that's what blog is supposed to be. :)
