Did You Make Any Of These Mistakes When Blogging

I think all bloggers make a few mistakes here and there when starting their blog. Here I list some of the mistakes that I did or learn from others, so you might be able to avoid them. 1. Writing for search engines before humans -

You can always tell when a blogger discovers Search Engine Optimization for the first time. Suddenly titles don't make sense, keywords appear in posts for no real reason, links to other pages on the blog that are irrelevant to the post keep being used. Learn SEO – but keep your readers as your #1 priority.
2. Putting off starting a blog – waiting until everything is just right before launching can mean you never do it.

The longer you take, the stronger the competition.
3. Not reaching out to new readers – Successful blogging involves time, effort, and reaching out to fellow bloggers / publishers / authors (whatever you prefer).

Intead of waiting for readers to find you, reach out to them by guest posting, writing comment on other blogs, participate in forum discussion and so on.
4. Not blogging on your own domain – Is bad. While I know some swear by using hosted blogs but if you want ultimate control of your blog it is best to do it on your own domain and hosting. Personally, unless you run a personal blog, I think you should always opt for self hosted blog, to appear professional.
5. Neglecting article headlines – Most people new to blog publishing will spend all their time writing the article, and not thinking too much about the headline. Here's the thing, if your headline doesn't catch my attention, the chances are your article won't be read.
6. Giving up too early – blogs take time to take off.

Instead of hoping for an overnight success, try to set attainable goals and realize that you're in it for the long haul. Don't cancel your blogging efforts after three months – give it at least a year of regularly putting out quality, original content. And make sure that your blog is easy to find, and that your readers are able to easily comment and share posts with others. 67. Assuming it's easy – Blogging takes real effort and man-hours into organizing thoughts and even coming up with schedules as to what you're writing and when you'll publish the posts. Taking into account the networking, reading, and commenting on other blogs takes time, it's not something you should do half-heartedly. New bloggers are bound to make mistakes, one way or another. Although theoretically speaking, it's best to learn from other people's mistakes, but reality is always harsher.

The best thing you can do is to avoid as many mistakes as possible, and don't be harsh on yourself when you make one.
