If you are new to blogging and still feeling your way around, or if you've been blogging for some time but you're making less money than you expected, it could be time to examine your blog for simple mistakes that most new bloggers make.
Correct those mistakes then set your course for a lifetime of profitable blogging! These are the most common early blogging mistakes: * Failure to Plan.
Which means if you don't plan your blog by choosing a layout that suits your purpose and determining what to blog about and when, you will just end up wasting your time, and making nothing.
Spend time planning your blog before posting to it, look at other people's blogs and adapt their ideas to suit your purposes (do not copy too closely and do not breach trademark and copyright laws), study ways to grow traffic to your blog or else you could be blogging forever with no one ever to admire your work.
* Failure to Focus.
Be focussed and choose a definite subject for your blog.
Niche blogs tend to rank higher in search engine listings than blogs having no special order or theme.
This is because, when people search online, search engines look for sites rich in information to benefit their customers and will choose themed blogs over others containing information about anything and everything and sometimes nothing! * Expect immediate visits.
Don't expect immediate results and do not stop blogging if your blog doesn't attract visitors or profits during its first month online.
As for any web site, the more content you add to your blog the higher your blog will rank in search engines and the sooner you'll attract regular visitors.
* Create boring posts and titles that no one wants to read.
Make your posting titles unusual, make them cryptic, this way you'll incite curiosity and ensure your visitors actually read your postings and probably also join your mailing list or buy one of your recommended products.
* Failure to promote.
Promote your blog every day, use free and low cost traffic generating techniques.
Write articles, for example, featuring your blog in the resource box; post on other people's blogs and link back to your own; post in forums and mention your own blog as a source of helpful advice to solve common member problems and queries; place free classified ads.
on and off the Internet offering free gifts to people who visit your blog.
After all that you really can expect regular high traffic and good overall profits for all your hard work.
