10 Critical Mistakes New Bloggers Make

By Dana Che Williams www.Blog.KeepAllYourCash.com

1. They Don’t Have a Niche

Who are you talking to? You must determine your audience to keep your posts relevant and helpful.

2. They Don’t Have a Dedicated Domain

There’s nothing wrong with using a free blog service. Just pray they don’t delete your account (it happens quite often)!

Having your own URL (ex. www.danache.com) ensures your complete control.

3. They Don’t Use Images

People’s eyes literally go cross-eyed at the sight of too much text.

Use pictures and video to make your content more appealing.

4. They Ramble

Rambling on and on in a person-to-person convo is one thing. Rambling while you’re blogging . . . not so good.

Choose a topic and stick to it!

5. They’re Not Conversational

Blogging is a conversation (sans the rambling).

Don’t be too technical or your readers will bore quickly. Imagine talking to an associate. Then blog.

6. Their Blogs Are Too Long

A good blog should only be around 300-600 words.

Keep it simple, concise and to the point!

7. They Don’t Edit

Grrr!! One of my pet peeves as a writer is people who publish content without editing.

Read over your blog before you hit publish! Readers aer esily anoyed bye bad grammer grammar.

8. They Spend too Much Time on It

I’ve adopted a method of “speed blogging.” I can publish an entire post (images and video included) in less than 30 minutes!

9. They Don’t do any SEO

Every blogger should know basic SEO. And if you’re wondering what SEO is, you’re not using it!

There’s no point in blogging if no one can find what you wrote!

10. They Don’t Syndicate

Syndication (or sharing) your blog is just as important as writing it.

Google won’t do you any free favors, so be sure to share your blog across all your social media accounts for more engagement.
