Welcome to the new season of This Is Your Life. In this sixth episode, Michele Cushatt, my co-host, and I talk about the most common mistakes bloggers make.
I have learned the hard way, making each of these mistakes myself. I didn’t know it at the time, but these mistakes were holding me back and kept my blog from reaching its potential.
Listen to the Audio
So here are the top ten mistakes I see bloggers making:
You don’t post enough.
You post too much.
Your posts are too long.
You don’t invite engagement.
You don’t participate in the conversation.
You don’t make your content accessible.
You don’t create catchy headlines.
Your first paragraph is weak.
Your topic is off brand.
Your post is all about you.
