Bloggingis exciting for netizens, because it is a great way to connect with the outside world, new and existing clients, and build an audience. Also, blogging can be a source of monetization or the basis for a business entity. However, blogging has become a major factor in marketing strategies. But because blogging seems so easy at first, some novice bloggers make many mistakes that cause them not to achieve the desired results.
Here, we will review the 7 most important mistakes that a novice blogger makes:
1- Coordination of writings and blogs:
The goal of blogger is always to find and keep new readers, and there is no easier way to banish readers from bad formatting. If your reader feels they need an instruction manual to understand the topic or to navigate the blog, they will definitely lose interest quickly. Make sure that the reader is easily navigated in your blog and on the topic, and make sure to provide a good user experience for it. If you want to reach the largest number of readers, your blog should be responsive and easy to view from various devices. Keep every topic outlined, as it helps keep your writing consistent, and makes reading easier and clearer for the reader. Make sure to proofread and correct the topic before publishing it and there are no spelling or scholarly errors. Choose an easy-to-read font that is clear but not too large, and don't overuse of color.
2- Choose the major:
The most common mistake bloggers make is trying to write on various topics for all people, believing that writing in different disciplines can attract a lot of audiences and traffic. In fact, it is very important to know who is the target audience for this writing. And if the blog is related to a field of work, then it is best to stick to writing about that field. If the blog is related to a technology site, for example, your followers will not be interested in your writing about fashion and fashion, but it is better if your writing is to market the site’s products and answer questions from the audience. You can never underestimate the importance of specialization, this does not detract from the blogger; It just means that the topics are more specific, and ultimately more informative and interesting to a smaller group of people.
3- Selection of topics:
Another common mistake many bloggers make is writing on topics that are not of interest to the audience. You can find blogs where bloggers clearly understand the topic, but fail to communicate with their audience. The blogger must understand the problems facing the audience and what the audience knows about this topic, as well as the questions he poses in order to be able to provide useful information, otherwise the articles will appear too complex or too primitive or do not explain a solution to the problem that concerns the audience. I care that the content is important to the audience, not just you, the most successful blogs are the ones that engage the reader in the topic. The audience will be interested in your blog and articles when they are helpful to them in developing their skills or proposing a solution to a problem they are facing.
4- Blog Marketing:
One of the biggest mistakes bloggers make is that they don't promote their content enough. The blogger is writing the post, waiting for traffic alone to descend from the sky, but that doesn't work. Blog promotion should be a top priority for a blogger. You can promote your blog using social media, and encourage the audience to share the post to ensure that it reaches the largest possible number. You can also join a blogging community or collaborate with other bloggers. There are many communities and writers interested in your specialty and willing to share your content, which will accelerate the growth of your blog and give you a wider audience. Then you might want to consider the second part of marketing, which is converting visitors into email subscribers. Email marketing is one of the most used tools in blogging today. If you write good content, don't feel shy about marketing!
6- data protection:
With the proliferation of the internet and smart devices, it has become easier for a blogger to blog or check out a blog anytime and anywhere. But some bloggers make the mistake of using public and unsecured internet networks without regard for the security risks. These networks may be useful to many people who want to surf the Internet for free or while on the move or traveling, but most people do not know the great lack of security in these networks. When it comes to internet security, public and unsecured networks are your worst enemy and hacker friend. The biggest problem with these networks is the ease with which data uploaded or uploaded to the network can be intercepted and viewed. Try to imagine the extent of the damage that would be inflicted on you if passwords, mailing list, or credit information were sent without encryption and intercepted by a hacker, it is possible to lose your reputation, the trust of your customers, or even your entire blog. If you plan to use an Internet network and you are not sure of its level of security, you should use a virtual private network (VPN), which encrypts your connection to the server, and can allow you the maximum degree of security and privacy.
7- Blog Protection:
If you want to start your own business on the Internet, you should follow the saying "Prevention is better than cure". Currently, online security and privacy are two very important elements. There are so many different types of threats on the Internet that it is difficult to list them all, but one of the threats to be aware of is Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. Not only are they dangerous, but they are also increasing in number and complexity. In short, distributed denial of service is a type of cyber attack that hackers use to overwhelm the network with tons of unwanted requests and traffic to the point that it can't handle the flow anymore, and it stops accepting legitimate traffic. The use of technologies such as a firewall and a VPN, which will help you hide your IP address, can help you a lot in preventing such attacks or participating in them without your knowledge.
We all made mistakes in blogging when we started, and you should not feel frustrated if you made one of these mistakes, but you should use this list of mistakes to direct you in the right direction towards developing and improving blogging. In the beginning, blogging needs patience and persistence, and you have to treat it as serious work, and in return, blogging can give you great results if your blog is personal, marketing, or profitable. Good and effective blogging can take a long time, but it is worth the effort.
