7 Top Blogging Mistakes To Stay Away From

Blogging is a genuine method to make money online through various ways.

But now most of the people jump into blogging because they have this misconception that blogging is a quick-rich scheme where they can start generating quick-money.

This leads them to failure because once they realize the struggle behind successful blogging, they quit.

There are a lot of other blogging mistakes and wrong midset that leads beginners to failure.

I am going to cover all those in this post.

7 Top Blogging Mistakes That Leads To Failure

Here are the top 5 blogging mistakes that often leads beginners to failure in blogging:

1. Not Selecting Niche Carefully

I have seen a lot of beginners who just choose the random niche to start their blogging journey. Or, they simply select the same niche as their mentor or person they are following.

Because they think that if others can make money in this niche, they can also. And to be honest, there is no problem with this. But you should choose your niche carefully not just because you saw someone's earning and jump into the same niche.

Your niche should be your strength, passion, knowledge. Then find out that it has good buzz online and then last, find is it profitable for you or not?

Here is a complete guide that you can follow to find your perfect niche. I have listed 100+ most profitable niche ideas too.

2. Using A Free Web Hosting

Just to save money, beginners choose to start with free web hosting. But this is the biggest mistake they make.

Free web hosting sucks, you can not use them to start your WordPress blog. Their server doesn't provide any kind of security to your blog and can be deleted without giving you any further notice.

Their servers are also poor, your website will be down when you reach a good amount of traffic and its speed will suck because of the poor quality of the server.

3. Buying Backlinks

This is another a dangerous mistake that beginners often make, Google is strict against paid backlinks and if it founds anyone doing this, Google may take manual action against them.

There are a lot of gigs available on freelancing sites where freelancers are offering tons of backlinks for a very cheap price. They use automatic way to create all those backlinks and you will get lots of spammy, toxic site pointing to your site.

It will really hurt your blog's SEO performance, will down ranking and traffic.

4. Lack Of Consistency

Consistency really matters in blogging...

You must have to be consistent in blogging to succeed. I have seen beginners, they start a blog and write some content because of the initial boost and posting new content after some time.

This becomes later the reason behind quitting from blogging.

5. Copying Others' Content

Your content should express your own tone and knowledge about the topic it is written on.

Google loves unique, fresh and in-depth content and rewards them. And also hates duplicate content, and penalize them.

Do not ever copy anyone else's content on your blog. It will not only get your penalized by Google rather it will affect user experience as well.

6. Not Investing On Premium Tools

There are tons of amazing tools available that can help you to achieve a good result with ease. But having a wrong mindset and not investing in your blog stops beginners to be unaware of the power of those amazing tools.

SEO is not easy everyone knows it very well, but there are tools like SEMrush and Ahrefs which makes it a lot easy for any newbie. If you start investing on premium tools then you will see your blog growing every day.

If SEMrush seems expensive to you then here are some SEMrush alternatives you can try.

7. Collaboration With Other Bloggers From The Same Niche

Collaboration with others can really help you in your initial days of blogging, it can boost your blog's traffic.

Beginners are often afraid of linking others because they think that it may affect their SEO.

But that's not the fact, it will help you in boosting your rankings and can bring some traffic if you let the person(who you linked) about this mention, it may bring some social share for your post.

These are the 7 top blogging mistakes that I have seen beginners doing. These mistakes may lead them to quit blogging.
