20 Mistakes Made By Bloggers And Possible Solutions For Them by Teenagersdiary: 9:36am On Jan 24, 2018
Are you a new blogger, struggling to get the results you want from your blog?
Blogging can be complicated at times so you want to make sure you’re doing things right, just check the answers to some of your blogging questions.
Let's get up to business. Here are 20 mistakes made by bloggers and how to solve them within a short period.

#1: Understanding your audiences.

The biggest mistake bloggers make is to misunderstand who their audience is. I see many blogs where the bloggers clearly understand the topic, but they fail to connect to their audience with their posts.

Bloggers must understand the problems facing their audience and what the audience already knows about the topic to craft posts that deliver useful information. Otherwise, the posts include the wrong information or exclude the right information, making them too complex or too elementary. Or, the posts fail to explain the problem being solved, and the reader can’t put the information into context. Either way, the post is full of information that the reader can’t put into use.

#2: Not having a strong niche;

Mistake bloggers make is you can't be everything to everybody. You can’t overestimate the benefits of focus, and the more clearly and tightly defined your blogging is the more likely you are to develop a niche that illustrate your niche

For instance, if you are a fashion blogger, you should focus on how to make the world know more about fashion designing, you can't be a fashion blogger and be talking about football games, music career, and things that does not have anything pertaining to your niche. Know that your blog should be more specific, and ultimately more interesting and informative, to a smaller group of people.

#3: Covering too many topics

I believe the biggest mistake bloggers make is covering too many topics. Many bloggers want to appeal to as wide an audience as possible, so they write about a hundreds of topics which shouldn't be so.
The problem with this is that the scope of the blog can become lost and possibly confuse the audience. Defining a few key areas that a blog’s posts will cover can be a very good and advisable solutions to your blog and also to the knowledge and expertise of the blogger.

#4: Inconsistency

The single biggest mistake bloggers make is inconsistency, both in quality and in publication frequency. The tricky part is that these two elements of success often work as opposing forces.
The notion that you should blog “when you have something to say” makes sense on the surface, but unless you establish and adhere to a publication schedule or a level of frequency (daily, three times per week, etc.) it becomes VERY easy to eventually tell yourself, “well, I don’t REALLY have anything to say today, so I’ll just skip it.” That’s how your publication frequency drops from five per week to three to one to occasional blogging. The blogs that are successful over the long haul are those that make publishing routine, not based on daily inspiration.
But making publishing routine does not mean, “let’s just throw up a garbage post because I have committed to writing three per week.” Quality always trumps frequency, Five mediocre posts per week will not get you as far as two outstanding posts per week.
That balance between the need to be consistently publishing and the need for consistent quality is the key to successful long-term blogging.
