1. Not knowing the right audience
99% of bloggers start a blog without knowing their audience. Those people who start writing content in many topics that involve finance, essay and letter, gk etc instead of writing more content related to one dedicated topic. At the end, the get stuck.
As it happens, the user experience of a reader deteriorates. Then he stops coming to that blog because he gets mix content out there. And that blogger, in the process of handling a lot of audience, loses his targeted audience. Why would a user want to stop where there is no dedicated content of his interest? That is why before creating a blog, we are supposed to choose the right topic and know our audience. But a lot of people literally ignore it all the way.
2. Lack of consistency and worrying more
Consistency is such an arrow that even failure can turn into success. But without good planning it's like a cup without tea. Many people in this area go on posting useless article for 2-4 months without good planning and SEO and keep thinking that after 6 months there will be success. But in the end they get disappointed and defeated. Because their articles never rank. Leave them aside, there are many people who do good planning and SEO but get failed due to lack of consistency. And advise people not to do this.
For instance,
I have a friend whose SEO, planning, and its content was different and high quality. After 4 months he left everything and said blogging is a wasteful thing.
Blogging says,
" Do blogging with proper planning and let your concerns go."
But people take it for the opposite. They obsess with when will my article rank, when will traffic come to my blog, when will adsense be approved blah blah blah? Due to these concerns, they are not able to take care of their content and become a victim of depression and can never emerge. Eventually they lose in this battle.
3. Lack of unique and high quality content
Good writing is essential for every blogger. Writing well about every topic is also a skill that not everyone has but it can be developed which takes time. But people do not develop this writing skill and keep publishing valueless content again and again.
And one of the reasons for which many bloggers are failing is that people are not writing unique and high quality content. Only a lot of content is being published. If you want to get ahead in blogging, unique and high quality content is definitely needed.
And a big mistake which is found on 85% of the articles. Repeating one thing over and over again in all articles. so, a reader feels that this article does not have any good information. You would probably know that the repetition of the same thing repeatedly in an article reduces the quality of that article.
The sad thing is that due to the lack of knowledge with the people, maximum people copy and paste the content of other good bloggers on their blog.They think that Google will not know anything about it. But those people do not know that Google is the father of all of them in this matter. Google never ranks the content stolen by them, on the contrary takes manual action on their blog whose effect damages their blog. However, it also happens that stolen articles are also seen being ranked in Google.
These points are the part of copy paste writing,
- Copying someone's written article completely and publishing it on blog.
- Publishing by mixing the content of many blogs and adding some information on one's own
- Using some software that automatically creates content
There is a proverb in English,
"If you copy someone else's content in the field of blogging, you're not gonna fly in the sky of blogging".
It means, if you use someone's stolen content in the field of blogging, then you can never fly at the height of the sky of blogging.
To be honest, if a reader is not getting respect while sharing someone's content, that content has no power.
4. Learning blogging from the wrong people on the Internet
Now what I am going to tell will open your eyes. I got this after doing a lot of research that because of taking knowledge from wrong people on Youtube or any other platforms, many people fail in this journey.
We will discuss some things here,
- Maximum people visit youtube for blogging. But you don't know that there is no good content on youtube right now. Maximum youtubers are not experienced in the field of blogging. You can learn from them only simple things such as what is blogging, how to create a blog, and knowing the defination of seo.
- Most of the talk about SEO, ranking on Youtube is against the webmaster guidelines. It can create a deep impact on your blog. In some cases, your blog may also be deleted. One of the main things that is taught wrongly in the world of seo is Backlink.
- Maximum people do not participate in the official forum of Google where you can solve many of your doubts. Where you have suggestions for not doing wrong practices.
5. Buying useless courses that teach nothing
The biggest sad thing is that many inexperienced people sell their seo and blogging courses which does not give any benefit to the general public. There are many people whose names I do not want to say.
For instance,
I was also once caught up in a bad course and my 50$ was wasted.
"You will not be successful in blogging until you learn about it from the right people."
6. Blogging for money
First let me make sure that blogging is not for everyone, if you think that everyone can do it, then your point of view is wrong. Only people who are interested in it can do it. But for many people, the second name of blogging is a lot of money.
What I mean here is that for the sake of this money, many people are not able to learn blogging in a good way.
To earn money from anything, you must first learn, and later you can earn from it. First learn then earn. I am not saying that earning money is wrong. I do say that going crazy for money is not good.
7. Lack of knowledge of presenting content in social media
People should use social sites like Youtube, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and many more to make their blog a brand and trust. From here also you can get very good traffic If your blog is good. But many people do not how to use all these platforms. They may not know, even here you can connect with people, you can build a trust, can solve their problems. There are many people who use these platforms but do not know how to represent their content in a unique way. They just share the link of their blog post. Some additional value is not being added.
8. Not reading the own content again and again and not improving anything in it
Many bloggers make this mistake. You would do it too. After writing an article only once, people read it only 2-4 times, they feel that it's good and after publishing they don't even look at it. I myself read a lot of blogs in which there are a lot of information which is not needed at all. All those articles should be as short as possible and informative.This means that the smaller it is informative, the better it is for a reader.
But they do not know how to tell a big thing by making it smaller. If a person cannot say something in one line, then he cannot say that same thing in 100 lines. Here, the question arises on his knowledge. And I want to add one thing here that a lot of bloggers are not paying attention to which points should be added while writing articles such as
- The point which should be added first, is added last
- They add such points which are not necessary on that article
- Lengthening the article for no reason
- Not using data on article such as survey, date, percentage, statistic, comparison, numbers and so on
9. Thinking that all the posts will rank at no 1 on Google
You all must know, we are not the only one in the blogging industry who will have all our content at rank 1. There are many bloggers like us who write very good content. It may be that some other blogger has written better articles than us, it may also happen that some of our articles are better than others. It will be continuing in this domain.We should only think about how to make our content better according to the time. And everything else should be left to Google and the readers. But I myself have seen that this is not the attitude of everyone in this blogging field. Everyone wants his every post to be on rank 1 on Google. The truth is that it is not possible to rank all article at no 1. That's why people get frustrated and leave blogging.
10. Being unable to make their blog a brand
11. Not creating user friendly website or blog
- Auto clicking again and again
- Due to too many ads on the website, a reader can't consume the content easily
- Getting redirected to another website
- Website speed is low
- Not being able to move around easily on the website because of some coding
- Forcibly keeping a reader in that website
12. Not experimenting on website for the good of the reader
- They do not reply to every message soon.
- What inconvenience is being caused to the reader while reading the content, not solving it as soon as possible
- They don't try to transform their article's meta description. It may also happen that the meta description which they have written can be written even better
- They do not try to make their written article too short and descriptive.
