Reasons Why Blogging Fails
Blogging is a great way to bring in some extra income for yourself or even your business, but did you know that over 70% of bloggers fail? In this article I want to go over why blogging fails
1. Wrong Niche.
Your blog is like a business, and you need to make sure that the niche you choose is both profitable and has room for growth. You have to research your topic thoroughly and select a niche that will be profitable for your business.
If you are not sure about what niche to choose, try using Google Keyword Planner or Ubersuggest to get some ideas of popular search terms related to your blog’s topic.
2. expect immediate success
Success doesn’t come easy; it takes time and effort on your part to ensure that your blog has a long-lasting future online, So if you expect instant results from blogging, it’s better not to start one at all!
As any successful blogger would tell you, success in blogging is achieved through hard work, perseverance and determination — not overnight success stories or quick hacks!
3. Bloggers fail .
Because they don’t know how to get started with blogging and need some help from others first before they can learn from themselves later on down the road when they’ve developed their own style and voice through trial and error over time.
4. Not Knowing Your Blogging.
You’ve probably heard about how blogging can help businesses in all kinds of ways — such as building customer loyalty, increasing search engine rankings and driving leads — but if you don’t know why you’re blogging, those benefits will never happen for you.
5. Not connecting with readers :
If no one reads your blog regularly or shares it with others, then what’s the point? To get readers coming back again and again, take time to connect with them on a personal level by sharing real-life experiences and useful tips that they can use right away.
6. No Focus On Keywords :
The first step in creating content that ranks well in search engines is choosing keywords that have enough search volume but aren’t too competitive or expensive to rank for (using tools like Google AdWords Keyword Planner or Wordstream’s Free Keyword Tool).
7. With Out Blog Plan
The most important thing that bloggers should have before they start blogging is a plan. The reason is because blogging requires time, effort and patience so you need to know what you want to achieve with your blog and how you will achieve it.
8. Quantity Over Quality
Bloggers often concentrate on writing as much content as possible, but this can lead to poor quality content which does not help attract visitors or increase sales. Instead of concentrating on quantity, focus on writing quality content that will help attract visitors and increase sales.
9. No Custom Domain
The first thing I want to talk about is the importance of having your own domain name. This is something that I see a lot of new bloggers not doing, and it’s a mistake that can be easily fixed. If you are going to blog, then you need your own domain name.
What makes this so important? A few reasons:
It makes you look more professional:
A blog on a free platform like WordPress or Blogger doesn’t scream “I am an expert in my field!” A domain name does though!
When someone sees an address like www.mywebsiteblog.com, it immediately gives off the impression that someone knows what they are talking about and has put a lot of effort into their website design and branding.
It shows commitment to your industry as well as dedication to providing quality content for your readership.
It makes it easier for people to find you:
Even if someone remembers your URL (unlikely), they will still have difficulty finding it again later if they don’t bookmark every page they visit because there is no way for them to know what page
10. You’re not part of the conversation.
You can’t just start a blog and expect people to read it. You need to be a part of the conversation, and that means you have to be active in social media, commenting on other blogs, and interacting with other people.
If your entire blog is about how great you are and what a great writer you are, no one will care. But if you write about things that interest people, then they’ll come back for more.
Conclusion.
I hope that this article helped to shed light on some of the key problems with blogging.
If you haven’t given blogging a try yet, hopefully this article has opened your eyes to the potential benefits of doing so.
On the other hand, if you’re already blogging, hopefully this can help you identify where you could go wrong, and how to avoid it.
