Here are 5 tips for new bloggers: and common mistakes to avoid when starting to create a free blog. Learn to overcome your mistakes and create a successful blog.
It is true that in my many difficulties as a beginner, I see the main mistakes made and how to avoid:
5. Lack of Resources:
New bloggers tend to create a fun blog themselves after a month. When asked why? 80% said they don't have money for data or that they don't have a laptop.
How to deal with it:
handling this case is very simple; When you want to build a mansion you will have to sit down and calculate the expense to know if you will be able to complete it, if not you wait until you get what it takes to build a mansion. So it is in blogging. Since you know you don't have what it takes, you'd better not venture into blogging.
4. Pressure from friends and family:
This is a very demoralizing agent. I remember when I was starting out as a blogger, my brothers would always see me with my phone or laptop and they would get annoyed. Friends would tell me I'm wasting my time and data. A few tons of friends once asked me how much I made and how much I spent on buying data, I was demoralized but also focused and not looking the other way. So, if you are facing such problems today as a blogger, here is what to do below.
How to deal with it:
First, you have to believe that blogging is not a “get rich quick” business. You have to work hard to achieve blogging success. So you have to neglect all the pressures of friends and family knowing what you're looking for.
3. Already Done:
What I mean by this? New bloggers don't want to learn. I remember when I first saw it. With the template, I contacted one of the professional bloggers and asked him to help me with the template. And he asked me to pay money that I didn't have. If he'd given me free then, I wouldn't have designed my own.
How to deal with it:
Make time to surf the net, google how to do something and learn it. If he asks for money, pay someone to teach him because one day you too will be paid by someone to teach you.
2. Copy and paste:
This is common with most new bloggers today. Once someone has a blog, has content on their blog, they call themselves a blogger. No! That's not how it works. Many people just create blogs and go to other blogs to copy. This is not right and you have to look for solution if you get into such.
How to deal with it:
As I said, creating a blog and having content on your blog makes you a blogger. Bloggers are original, they are themselves. So make sure you create unique content to increase your website ranking and visibility in search engines. By doing this, you will see progress as a blogger (even if you must copy, copy like a blogger. Be sure to edit the content in your own style as if it were original)
1. Lack of promotion:
Post!! Post!! That's what they do. New bloggers think that just by posting, they increase their page views. You see someone making 10 posts a day and yet they still get 500 pageviews a month. Not a spirit killer? Yes, it kills your morale. Instead of spending time creating or copying posts to have about ten posts a day, try to buy time to promote your site. Make 3-5 posts a week and promote them for that week on social media like the ones I am using (Facebook, twitter, instagram) and forums you will find that your page views will increase compared to when you were ten posts per day and no promotion.
Other tips:
find blogs that have the same niche as yours and make meaningful comments on the blog leaving your blog URL behind. This will generate tons of pageviews. Go for paid ads on Facebook or any other forum that can drive enough traffic for the amount you spent. Feature client blogging like I'm doing right now. In doing so, go to popular blogs that are in the same niche as yours and make sure you adhere to their terms and conditions. These are the Top 5 of all problems new bloggers face. So I beckon you to kindly relay this information. And if you have other problems besides these, make use of the comments box below and I will answer you as soon as possible.
