While the pathway to blogging is different for everybody, and you could argue there’s no “wrong” way, in today’s ProBlogger podcast I discuss some of the mistakes I made when first starting out, and the most typical mistakes I see newer bloggers making. I wonder if any of you recognize yourselves in these behaviours that could very well hold you back?
I talk about everything from before people even start their blogs, to they way they market them, how they drive traffic, how they monetise, site design, and even the chosen niche. But all is not lost if you do find yourself taking these wrong turns – I also give options about how to avoid the pitfalls I see so many falling into.
I’d love to hear of the mistakes you made or the ones you see others making – which ones were the hardest to overcome?
As I am the beginner in the field of blogging, so this post will be helpful for me. I’ll be careful about all these mistakes. Thanks for sharing all these major issues with us.
Thanks Mr. Bharat, me also want to improve my blog to avoid these mistakes. i hope that it will be beneficial for my blog. And thanks to Darren Rowse & Problogger Team.
