Mistakes are always being made on a daily basis.
Millions of people make mistakes and this happens in the blogging world quite often.
There are a lot of people coming into the blogging world because they think that blogging is easy to do, almost everybody id doing it and making a great deal of money just by blogging. Millions of people are blogging about this and blogging about that, but how many of these bloggers successful in their blogging journey?
I have listed some 5 common mistakes that new bloggers often make and fail to correct them.
Eager To Make Money
Whenever a new upcoming blogger finds out that top bloggers are making money online they think that it is very easy yo make money online. If this was the case then everybody would be blogging. If you are just blogging to make money then you will fail to do so. In truth and in fact everybody wants to make money blogging but you have to first love what you are doing in order to make money doing it. You have to be passionate about blogging.
If you concentrate about make money blogging then you will lack interest in writing quality content or lose interest in driving traffic to your blog. Remember that with quality content and traffic is what brings you the money so with non of that on your blog you will never make money. You have to satisfy your readers with quality unique content.
Wrong Niche
If new bloggers are eager to make money blogging then the next common mistake they make is falling into the wrong niche. They will start a blog and go into a niche that they know little or nothing about without realizing it. Which niche shoule you choose? Basically this is really simple. You start a blog on something that you know about and love.
For example, you like playing tennis and you know about it. That is a niche right there. You can make a blog and give tips to new tennis players, how to serve a ball or which racket is best for you in a tennis tournament.
Choosing the right niche is very important in making a successful blog.
Copying Other People’s Info
If you enter a into a niche that you know nothing about then the mistake that you would next make is to copy other bloggers articles. I know that as a new blogger you would want to have your articles index on the front page of Google, but you will not be able to do that if you copy and pass other people’s information as yours. Another thing is that you will eventually lose visitors because they will some how know that you are copying from another site that has more information.
Some new bloggers even copy some articles and change it up so that it looks like they wrote it. This won’t work either. As I said earlier, go into a niche that you know and are passionate about, and then you will always have something to write about for your blog.
Free Hosting
This is one of the worst place to be, free hosting. I am always telling new bloggers or webmasters to stay away from free hosting because you will never know when these free hosting will close down your site.
Hosting is really cheap these days. I am using Hostgator.com and I pay $9.99/month.
HostGator.com is a great place to host your blog or website. Check out the prices below:
HostGator has hosting as cheap as $4.95
I encourage to use HostGator.com for hosting.
Blogger Instead Of WordPress
This also has to do with free hosting. Blogger is free hosting and WordPress is self hosted. Self hosted is best for any blogger if you want your blog to be successful.
Check out the 10 reasons why i love WordPress.

Your’e welcome
You have rightly summarized the the mistakes of a new blogger. I would add another thing which I have seen on many new blogs, they have posts with long lists of only URLs and the title is like “101 Website Directories”. It is a very bad way and it can really decrease your ranking.

Yes that’s true, and thanks for the tip.
hey kharim thanks for posting up this information..it’s very interesting and fun to read this kind of stuff..thanks nice post..
Hi Kharim
That is for sure some of the most common mistakes. Another one is a total lack of patience. It takes time to build up traffics, twitter followers and for the Search Engines to find all the pages on a new blog. A lot of new bloggers give up way to fast.

Blogger I think is for when you are a newbie blogger and you want to feel what it is like as a blogger. If you look around, no expert bloggers are using Blogger. Thanks foe your comment Aditia.
Please I am also asking you to make one more comment on my other article:
5 Important Questions Every Blogger Should Be Asking Themselves
As you said most expert bloggers are not using Blogger but it is still the best choise for a newbie who just want to speak up!

Sometimes it is insulting for bloggers who took so much effort and time to come up with a good post but people would just put spammy comments without even reading the post. It is an obvious disrespect to a blogger.
Choosing a right niche is what makes you an experts blogger. As you pointed out, that what makes a blogger a blogger is by earning money from it, Monetizing a blog must be interwoven with your niche. That’s why niches really matters in internet marketing.
Great tips
It’s important to be yourself and develop your own blog personality. It allows readers to get to know you and your unique style, which sets you apart from others. What do you think?
Kharim,
I think your dead on with number 3 “copying other peoples info” . It’s mad important to be authentic with you content. The problem i feel new bloggers face is they feel they have to be an expert in order to attract an audience. I do not feel that this is case, I believe that if you are authentic about where you are in your own growth of a subject and can give helpful advice from your own person experience people connect with you in much more meaningful way then if you try to just copy some else info.
Thank you for sharing the info, it will be a great help for the newbie like me.

I really appreciate the info you have to offer that is FREE I do realize now about the free hosting, however I’m glad I didn’t waist my hard earned money paying for hosting and knew very little about blogging.
