8 Stupid Mistakes Bloggers Should Avoid in 2020

It is common for every beginner and new blogger to make mistakes and errors. It's not their fault for doing that flaw. It's because of a lack of experience and lack of knowledge about blogging. Blogging is a new community where you don't know how it works if you're a beginner. But, that doesn't mean you can't do anything. You can do wonders on google if you strictly and wisely use SEO tactics. A lot of newbies are relinquishing from the blogging community due to no traffic and encouragement. This time, that is your fault which you should avoid. It's one of the stupidest mistakes that bloggers do. A fool sees not the same tree that a wise man sees.- Willian Blake You may not see the importance and value of blogging in the beginning. But, once you dive into that platform, your opinion will change for sure. Not only new bloggers are committing flaws, but also normal experienced bloggers. Even, a successful blogger could have done mistakes in the beginning. Though, we learn ourselves by correcting the errors and move on with great work. Let's see 8 biggest and stupid mistakes bloggers should avoid from now :

1. InConsistency

Inconsistency is one of the biggest mistakes that new bloggers and beginners do. They are most likely to procrastinate their posts and projects due to laziness. If you're really pushing your work, then you shouldn't do blogging. I would say it's not the correct platform for you. A committed blogger either he is beginner or intermediate, will do his work and move on as per the schedule he planned. Scheduling the posts and promoting posts is one of the most important factors of the blogging community. So, without any schedule and being inconsistent leads your blog into vain and you may not achieve what you wanted. Though, to be consistent, schedule and planning is the way to put out your efforts on your site. Here how you can schedule the posts and post-promoting : Publish at least 1-2 posts per week with quality. Even 1 post is enough if it is high quality. Schedule Social media promotions every day with a different article. Keep a whole day for SEO works That's all you can do to be consistent.

2. Plagiarism

A lot of bloggers do this silly mistake, probably in the beginning plagiarize ( copy ) other's site content to your blog. I suppose it's because of a lack of experience. They don't know what happens if they copy other's work and paste on your article. Plagiarizing the content may lead to termination of your blog or google Adsense suspends advertising services on your site for violating their community guidelines and rules. Though, you should avoid stealing other's work and show your users as it is your work. I would say you no need to copy the work even if you lack of ideas. It's really important for every blogger to sharpen their minds and put out the creativity in their articles. You don't need to put stress on it, but if you think wisely. You will get tons of ideas for posts out of your mind. With being said, you better go for a route where your different from other's bloggers. When another blogger is doing an article on " How to Lose Weight ", you can do article on " Why should do lose weight ". That's called Creativity and if you copy the same topic and title, that's called Plagiarism.

3. Not Caring about SEO practices

SEO ( Search Engine Optimization ) is the life of blogging. Without SEO, you don't get traffic, and though you will be unsuccessful. A lot of new bloggers don't know much about SEO tactics and works. However, you need to know that it's easy to understand how it works. But, it's bit tough to perform it. In simple words, SEO is the process of optimizing your site to get quality and quantity traffic from google search results which is considered as " Organic Traffic " also "Unpaid traffic" There are two types of SEO called On-page and Off-page SEO. On-page SEO discusses the inside of your blog whereas, Off-page SEO discusses the outside of your blog. Without performing these two strategies, it will be very hard for you to grow your blog to high standards and to be successful. However, if you're using Wordpress, Yoast SEO plugin will help you guide on On-page SEO and whereas, you gotta take care of off-page by yourselves.

4. Low-Quality Posts

Low-quality posts are nothing but, an article with poor grammar, no SEO, and no depth of the subject. I saw a number of bloggers posting articles with 1000-2000 words with no proper explanation and outline. They couldn't understand that Quality is superior than Quantity. Those types of bloggers will fill the meaningless words with no context just to complete the 1000 words mark. That was the stupidest mistakes some bloggers does. But, the real truth is google always give chance to those who did a great work with articles even they're 500 words or 1500 words. I think tons of new bloggers mishearing the google that it shows support to blogs that publish more than 1500 words. Apparently, that's not the truth. It's all about how much an article tells to the audience. Let the article be 500, the question is if it's providing enough content to users? You don't need to stretch the length of your words, but you gotta make sure if you're furnishing enough quality content to the audience. How to Start a Blog (FREE Easy Guide for Beginners)

5. Not Optimizing User Experience

Sometimes, our blogs don't work properly on a PC or mobile screen. That happens due to the mistakes like : Bulky themes Not customizing the layout Not optimizing your website Avoiding the cache Unnecessary plugins These are the mistakes that you should avoid and your users can't able to use your site properly too. It's not user friendly. So, it's better to keep a light and clean theme that loads quickly. As you can see, there are tons of best themes you can find in Wordpress. You can either buy them or use them freely as long as your a beginner. However, some bloggers are installing unnecessary plugins that give nothing to their blog but slow down their site. So, you must uninstall them right away if you're using them and in the samway, you shouldn't forget to clear purge cache every day to prevent slowness. 65 Slow WordPress Plugins To Avoid Best 13 Wordpress Plugins Bloggers Must use

6. Not Upgrading your old posts

It's one of the biggest and common mistakes that bloggers should avoid. After getting 1 year of blogging experience, you would definitely gain some knowledge about blogging while comparing to yourself in the beginning. At the start, you may don't know what you really did on articles, you might've done grammar errors and given no proper explanation. Though, you should back to those articles and improve the articles as better as your latest articles. Every blogger could've faced this lot of times. Even I had updated my old articles. Honestly, it's a little bit cringy for us to read our old articles and feel like " Is that really me wrote this dumb article " You may relate to this point. So, you should avoid this one of the common mistakes.

7. Being Insecure and Dejected about Traffic

This is one of the common reasons why a large number of bloggers leaving their blogs and relinquishing from their positions. These cases mostly occur between beginning 3-6 months stage where they feel they aren't getting any support and traffic to their site. It's because of two reasons : You aren't producing great content or either doing mistakes like failing to provide enough content to the audience Patience and Commitment - Lot of beginners give up due to lack of patience. All you have to make sure is if you're creating good quality content and wait for your day ( being patient) and you should avoid this.

8. Finally, giving up on a Blogging Career!

This is one of the final biggest mistakes that bloggers are doing. Whether it's because of lack of encouragement and traffic. They are giving up their career on blogging. Moreover, those people are spreading claims like " Blogging is Dead " but they couldn't understand that " Blogging is dead for them only". Even if it's youtube or blogging, they are really great platform to show your skills and knowledge. But, it may take some time that doesn't mean you're useless and pawn in them. Once you start having patience and commitment, it is damn sure you'll achieve what you strived for. Although, these are the biggest mistakes that bloggers are committing and should avoid from now.
