Hi everyone, today I want to talk to everyone about MAJOR mistakes made by new bloggers...

I hope this little information will be of great value to you. I'll try to let you know about some things not to do while starting a BLOG!!!

1) DO NOT START IN A NICHE (A WRITABLE TOPIC) THAT YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED IN
When you start a blog in a niche you're not passionate about, if you try to force yourself on a topic you don't like, i becomes a big job for you. Think about a blog as having a long conversation with people, so it has to be on something you're interested in.niche 2.jpg niche 1.jpg

2) DO NOT SPEND DAYS PERFECTING YOUR NAME AND MISSION STATEMENT
Spending days trying to perfect your domain name and vision and about page and all.... Bla Bla...
It is trying to perfect something that cannot be perfected. It is about your content, that is what matters. What you do speaks LOUDLY that what you say.... I'll just leave it at that... username.jpg

3) DO NOT GET STARTED ON A FREE BLOGGING SITE
I understand that starting a blog for free sounds tasty, but don't be fooled guys, there are no free lunches with blogging... Don't be fooled by companies, because they will eventually make their money and that will not profit you in any way, its not a real blog and also not yours and can be taken away from you at anytime, and also yeah it makes you look unserious to your visitors and whenever your blogs starts becoming successful you'll have to move your blog and that's a waste of time. no free blog.jpg

4) DO NOT USE A BAD HOST
Make sure you're having a good hosting site, make sure it's not a site that will keep crashing, right now BLUEHOST and HOSTGATOR... They're cheap right now. badhost.jpgbad host.jpg

5) MAKE SURE TO OPEN A BLOG WITH A GOOD BLOG SITE
Well i'll like to let you know that there might be alot of blogging site out there but research has shown that WordPress.com is actually the best and guess what..... They have a new splendid theme for 2019, it's so cool..

6) BE READY TO INVEST INTO YOUR KNOWLEDGE
DO your best to invest in yourself, that will be a good thing, you need to forget about material things and don't look into buying things that are not really needed while starting a blog, educate yourself and then when you're comfortable enough then you can get the nice things of life....

7) DO NOT MIX YOUR BUSINESS EXPENSES WITH YOUR PERSONAL EXPENSES
Do not get yourself confused with your personal expenses and your business expenses, otherwise this will make it hard for you to keep track of your growth. business1.jpg business2.jpg

8) DO NOT GIVE UP!!!
No matter how much you feel like your teeth is being kicked in, or you have been punched in the face, the time doesn't matter, take massive actions towards your goals, blogging is solving a few problems, and once you get through them, voila, you're gonna smile, your first jump and first push up, that's your driving force..... But always remember... NEVER GIVE UP!!!
