My Introduction and 5 Blogging Mistakes To Avoid
Posted September 18th, 2009 by StefanHello, my name is Stefan and i`m 21 years old webmaster and i decide to start this blog to share my knowledge about Blogging, SEO & Online Marketing Tips.I know that are many good blogs around the net about making money online and how you can make money from home, but also each webmaster have their tips and tricks.
Nowadays are many platforms that you can use to start your own blog, but the most familiar is wordpress.Creating a blog is easy, if you are new or old webmaster you can set up a blog in less than a minute, and write your first blog item in five minutes. What could be easier than that? It takes me at least as long to write an email message.Blogging is easy but you must know how to avoid the usual mistakes.
The Most 5 Blogging Mistakes To Avoid
Blogging Mistake #1 – Not using a self-hosted blog
The first mistake I made was to begin blogging using WordPress.com, as opposed to WordPress.org.I know many guys around that are using this platforms.The BIG problem with hosting a blog through WordPress.com is that you don’t have full control over customisation. WordPress owned and stored my content. So, why you don`t buy a domain for 10$ and a hosting for 5$ per month and start making money professional.
Blogging Mistake #2 – Not Updating
Like i said, to start a blog is easy,but when comes time to update then pick a posting frequency and stick to it. On the first days you will update daily up to 10 articles per day,maybe even a few weeks, and then the number of posts starts to go down until the blog is hardly updated at all.
Blogging Mistake #3 – Blogging Only For Money
Yes it`s true that you can make money from blogging, but more than 90% of blogs on the Web cannot make more than $100 a month.When you start a blog think on, i have money i don`t money from blogging, focus the attention on blogging and not for money.
Blogging Mistake #4 – Being a Copycat
Probably you know that the content is king for each site/blog(on otherpost i will let you something “the content is not king”).You can write about the same thing as the next blog, but you need to add your own views to make it unique. Don’t just copy and paste what another blog posted. Give your opinion because that’s what blogging is all about. The most unique thing about your blog is you.
Blogging Mistake #5 – Writing For Google Instead Of People
People like to read pages with sense.You can have the most perfectly written Google optimized page in the world and still not ranked number 1 because Google follows people
