1. You are Not Perfect-Admit that
A
noticeable fact that is common in most of the newbie bloggers is that
they assume that owning a platform of their own (blog) gives them a
license to declare themselves as perfect. However, people like to
identify with what they read and if you would sound perfect, they could
hardly identify with something that is perfect.
2. Don’t Sound Common
Your
readers expect you to have your unique style that keeps them bounded.
Once you realize what uniqueness you have to offer your readers, you
will see that there wouldn’t be any competitors ultimately. Turn your
blog special for those are following it so that they stick to their
choice.
3. Countless Lame Mistakes
As
a sole owner and manager of you blog, committing mistakes like typing
errors, spelling mistakes, forgetting to link the posts, etc are common
blunders that always have a room of acceptation. However, a success
person is the one who identifies his mistakes, admits it, learn from it
and try never to repeat. If you are busy blogger who types around 2,000
words a day and cannot take care of petty things, then you can always
ask your friends to proofread your documents.
4. Life Without Priorities
It’s
a pity that the new bloggers start hoping for the comeback, as big as
the pro-bloggers enjoy after years of investment. This is wrong,
absolutely. The fact is bitter but you need to take it that your blog
needs time to make its position, stable enough to start earning. You
must list down your priorities and make your schedule accordingly,
making sure that other important things are not neglected with your
no-earning-blog!
5. ‘I Will Do It Myself’- attitude
Although
the thought of doing this is contrary to the basic theme of
entrepreneurship, but you see, as a human, it is unlikely that you do
all tasks yourself with perfection. Try of hiring an assistants that can
do 60% of your work while sharing only 10% of the revenue been
generated.
6. Running behind the most common trends
As
a blogger myself, I completely understand the idea of searching latest
news and writing all about them. That’s a good practice indeed, but only
when you are too quick to be among the top 20s’ to break it. what you
might have noticed that writing
for things that are way too common decreases the chances that your
readers would love to read about things they already know. Always try to
be initiative with coming up something new
7. Hold On to things- take it to heart!
Just
like you have all the liberty to use your blog to post anything the way
you want, the same freedom is enjoyed by people around the world, who
might be your competitors. It happens sometimes that you find people
talking about you negatively on their blogs, let it be. You are famous
enough to enjoy rumors, take it this way.
8. NO Coherency
When
you have taken blogging as your career, then you must invest your
business communication skills in your business as well. Coherency
literally means that all your points must make sense with the actual
theme of your paragraph. This is a good way to keep the readers bound
with your content. This is something that would not only help you in
blogging but in anything you do which is related to writing.
9. Sound immature
Why
on earth your readers would read your content when several other posts
are available those are just a click away? Did you ever ask this to
yourself? If not, then you better do! No matter which business you start
your career with; you need to build credibility for your business and
especially for your persona so that you become people’s priority rather
than their option. Be professional; do not sound cheesy or too childish.
You are addressing people of all ages, so keep that respect in your
content that please people of all ages.
10. Take it too seriously
I
have been a true example of taking it too high initially. What new
bloggers do is, they keep on checking their emails after every half an
hour or so to check out the current happening, as if something important
would be waiting there to be replied on urgent basis. Creating a hype
of anything is of no use, keep that in mind.
11. Panic with Blog Statistics
As
discussed in the point 10, you need to have some patience while dealing
with your blog’s statistics. As a blogger you need to absorb this fact
that your business is not only dependent on your product or your
service, but it is highly related to the demand and the mercy of search
engines. Your blog’s statistics may be a fluctuating one, don’t worry
about it, until and unless the overall earnings suffer.
12. Give your posts an Emo-touch
The
World is made up different people with different school of thoughts,
some might be too realistic, some might be too emotional, however, do
not ever let your emotions be reflected in your posts. This is a
disaster in a writer’s career. Talk on general terms; never give your
example that is related to an emotional touch.
13. NO Life!
Are
you a dedicated blogger? Do you spend all your time on writing the
posts? Don’t you do anything apart from writing for your blogs? If yes,
then a bad news is, your blog is going to suffer really bad in coming
days. What makes me say this is the fact that the more your write, the
more your mind becomes saturated! Try reading novels, watching movies,
keeping a track of news bulletin so that your vocabulary is refreshed
and updated along with its excessive usage.
14. Neglecting Family
A
100% guaranteed fact is that if your personal life is not peaceful,
then you can hardly do anything in your professional life. To avoid the
severe repercussion, learn to lead a balanced life, keeping both, the
family and the business simultaneously smooth. You will see your
business excelling then.
15. Doubting Your Potentials
This
point deserves to be on number 1 on the basis of its significance,
however, its number 15 here so that we leave you with a thought that
would keep there in your mind, longest. The moment you raised question
about your potential, your business comes to an end then and there.
There are possibilities that may be the direction you chose is slightly
different as the one that might have worked out for you, but that
doesn’t means that you don’t have the skills to tackle the situation.
Have complete faith on yourself and your hard work, believing that
fruitful results would soon be achieved.
So you
see, blogging is all about reshaping your life with a completely new
aspect of visualizing things. Becoming a desirable blogger consumes so
much of hard work, not only in technical terms but you also need to give
special attention to your entire persona. Try relating things with your
story and learn lessons from them.
All the best!
