In this blog, I will explain about the Common mistakes to avoid in blogging and how to overcome them.

I know, most of you may have started a blog already but don’t have enough viewers.

We have seen that some page views are so small but are earning more money in affiliate marketing than many other top viewed websites.

That’s because you are doing the same mistakes that many Newbie bloggers are doing.

We will see what are the mistakes to avoid in blogging and how to avoid them in Future to get More page views and more sales for your Amazon Affiliate Website

Mistakes to avoid in blogging:

  1. Not having Clear Content
  2. Not Writing Contents Based on SEO
  3. By Using Cheap Low Quality Hosting
  4. By using Unattractive Free Themes
  5. Not Using Images
  6. No Social Media Buttons

A Small Explanation about the mistakes to avoid in blogging:

Not Having Clear Content:

One of the Common mistakes to avoid in blogging that many bloggers are doing was posting different contents in their Website

That means not having a proper niche. Because if you don’t have a proper niche, then you won’t have targeted Audience.

Your viewers will return to your site only if you have targeted content.

For example, if your niche is about food, then all the posts in your blog should be on Food or related food.

You should have proper content for Specific Audience. If people want to trust your site, then you have to give them good contents.

So keep that in mind while writing your blogs

Not Writing Contents based on SEO:

Writing Quality content is just 15%. Other 85% is promoting your blog.

If you have to bring more viewers to your site, then you must have your website in Google Search’s first page.

First find a keyword and write your content based on that Keyword.

Some Best practices for Writing Contents based on SEO are

Choose a keyword (Ex. The Best Seafoods to eat)

Use that keyword in your Headings

Use your Keyword in your blog at least 3 times

Give Outbound Links

Use Internal Links

Use your Keyphrase in Meta Description

To write the best content, use Yoast SEO plugin in your Website. It will help you to write your blog contents based on your Keyword and some SEO mistakes to avoid in blogging.

By Using Cheap Low Quality Hosting:

Many hosting providers will give free and low-priced hostings.

Using those cheap low quality hosting will affect your website viewers tremendously

Because those free and cheap hostings are placed somewhere in the other side of your country. It will affect speed and responsiveness of your website

If your site is loading slowly, then there are a lot of chance that your viewer will move on the another website.

So use proper Hosting for your Amazon Affiliate Website

For Beginners, just go for a shared host, because they are cheap. It costs around just $3 to $12 dollar per month.

The Best Cheap Hosting for Beginners are

  1. A2 Hosting
  2. Inmotion Hosting
  3. Blue Host

By Using Unattractive Free Themes:

There are lots of free themes available on the WordPress

But those themes have limited functionality. They don’t have attractive banners, stylish fonts and responsiveness

Many bloggers will use the free themes, so almost most of the websites look similar with limited functionality.

If your Website is not attractive, then your viewer won’t visit your website again and that is one of the biggest mistake to avoid in blogging.

To overcome this hurdle, Buy Best Themes. Because every Business needs Investment. If you invest in a business, then you are far above than most of your fellow bloggers.

So use attractive themes for your website.

Some Best Themes are listed below. I use the Same themes and Plugins for all my Websites and Blogs.

1. AAWP (Amazon Affiliate Plugin)

2. Generatepress (Theme)

3. AWeber (Email Marketing)

4. Elementor (Page Builder)

5. Elegant Themes (Theme)

Not Using Images:

Using just Text in your Blog is not a good practice.

If your blog doesn’t have any images or stylish banners, then there are a lots of chance that your visitor may get bored.

It leads them to find another attractive website.

Writing Good content is not enough. Making it more attractive is important.

Your Viewer will get easily offended if you write long paragraphs. They are search in internet just for a solution, not for Essay Competition. These are some mistakes to avoid in blogging.

So add Banners and Images instead of Long Paragraphs.

No Social Media Buttons:

Social media is the best platform to market your product. It may be physical or Digital.

Okay. You have learned a lot and writing blogs for solutions to many problems. But how do the customers know that you are the one with the answer.

The answer is social media. Post your blogs in social Media’s to get people’s attention.

Writing Guest Blogs and answering the question in Social media will get more viewers to your website.
