Many people start a blog these days. And no doubt, they all make the same mistakes.
Very often it’s good to read about other people’s mistakes, so you can try to avoid making them yourself.
That’s why I list a number of them here.

Do YOU make these blogging mistakes?

I started my first blog as a part of a membership website of Kenneth McArthur.
He had some blog software installed that pretty soon appeared to be inflexible and only partial working. Besides that, I realized that I was only promoting his domain, not mine.

I told Ken I had to leave and go my own way.

A free blog elsewhere wasn’t an option, I had to set it up at my own domain. So I did. I installed Wordpress and entered my previous posts again. Fortunately, as I was only starting out, my blog was very small, so I had it done in no time, but that was my biggest blogging mistake.

I’ve made a lot more than that one, and no doubt, I’m still making some. That’s why I’m always anxious to learn from other people’s mistakes.
There are lots of other bloggers who openly admit theirs.

Hey Case…

Your so right.

One of the mistakes I made when it came to blogging was not having a strategy.

I knew that I wanted to write about my experiences but I didn’t really sit down and map out how I would do that. Things like how often I would write. How I would come up with new ideas. Or what topics I would cover. How I would get traffic…etc.

Yet the school of hard knocks taught me why I should have put my strategy together first.

you’ve got some really good advice here.

That leads me to ask you if you’d be interested in lending some of your writing skills to a new online magazine I’m creating.

It’s themed around internet marketing.

Which would be a nice fit I think for you.

Thanks in advance,
Keir

Hi Keir
Yep, school of hard knocks is a great school with many pupils.
