Literally doesn’t have any experience or knowledge
Most of the startup bloggers today doesn’t have any experience or knowledge about blogging over web, they have started the blogs with curiosity of hearing the popularity news over various medias. But most of the bloggers doesn’t have prior knowledge about the basic concepts of blogging or even about the World Wide Web (WWW)
Nothing is planned- No proper objective or strategy
Most of the new bloggers starting their new blogs have doesn’t have proper plan before starting the game, they have no clear objective and proper strategy to get succeed. They start blogging having the only objective of making money online nothing than this .And also they have no clear strategy to reach their goals that makes worse than not having proper goal. Because may be the earning money alone will be your objective (may be right or wrong), but if you don’t have the clear idea of reaching your objective means, surely you will suffers. Improper or lack of strategy may mislead your way to shut down your blogging dream. Having the clear objective and proper strategy will leads to success blogging.
Lacking of Unique Approach – Individuality
There are more than 130 millions of blogs are already available over web , its about more than few thousands or lakhs of blogs are created every day , not all of them became success but only some of them are take advantage of success. So the question is
How your blog is going to survive with this competition?
What makes your blog , differentiate from other blogs?
Without having unique approach and style your blog is also added to one of the blogs with competition or joining with the band of failure
Loss of focus over niche
Most of the bloggers who have failed doesn’t concentrated their niche properly,
Choosing the topic as niche that they don’t have enough knowledge or interest
Choosing the niche only in terms of high paying keyword mindset
Failure to choose niche and stick around them, losing of focus over niche will results with random subjected posts that results with nothing
Competing with broader market
If you are optimizing your blog for the keywords which has high competitive or broader market will leads to your have the chances of your blog permanently disappeared from Search Engine Result Pages(SERP).Because for this high competitive keywords there will be thousands of authority blogs have made relevant blog posts that have well established trust with search engines for a long time before, as a startup blogger you struggle to get positioned with top results but nothing will helps, your blog posts for the keyword terms will be at long miles away from their visibility
Targeting with Highest paying keyword terms
For startup bloggers who targets highest paying keyword terms are really worse there , because most of your competitors are fighting furiously to get the top place for the keyword, they use almost all methodologies and techniques to get appeared on top results as a startup blogger you will be gone with this cyclone of tough competition.
Focusing the keyword that having least or no traffic
Like competing with broader keyword terms, focusing the keyword that having least or no traffic is wont produce results as you expected .But the only the relaxation is , may be your blog is appeared for some random keyword term that brings few of visitors in the long run.
Money Minded Blogging
Worst of all reasons, the money minded blogging is the most vulnerable or hazardous practice (yes, I would like to say like that) that the every failed bloggers done. Blogging with the only mind set of making money online will directly or indirectly reflected in your blog .Filling your blog with crowded Ads, annoying popup boxes, cookie stuffing, affiliate minded reviews, sponsored or unreliable blog posts will produce dangerous results .
Poorly designed blogs
Poorly designed blogs will fail to create impression with your viewers even though you have made great blog posts. Poorly designed blogs in terms of unpleasant blog theme or themes who failed to produce attract viewers attention will not guarantee that your audience will became repeat of visits with your blog .
Poor blog navigation
Poor blog navigation is the another serious issue even done by the great blog posters . If the blog posts or topics are far away to navigate with your blog will increases the chances of readers bounce rate . Poorly designed navigation results that most of your blog posts will not be served for your audience perusal
Nothing useful for viewers
Presenting the plain data, posting the random thoughts or only the personnel information worth nothing to the viewers who expect to arrive your blog for seeking some information. Most of the today’s readers are seeking profitable or useful information online, if you are filling your blog with this kind of information that makes your viewers immediately quits from your blog without wait.
Nothing new – just copying others stuff
Filling the blogs with copied content is really a shame, copy bloggers get search engine penalty for this duplicate content. Duplicate contents are considered to be serious issues that will get severe search engine penalty with search engines that results with decrease of search engine traffic or no traffic. Not only with search engines but the readers of blogs wouldn’t like copied contents that will greatly decreases the brand image of your blog.
Not a regular learner
I noticed that some of the bloggers on internet are adamant they called themselves as genius doesn’t ready to learn truly, just want to spread the message what they know ( may be really don’t know about anything). In World Wide Web everything changing very frequently no one can master of all subjects. Not being ready to learn regularly will brings failures knocks your doors.
Not a regular contributor
Most of the bloggers will participate actively when startup blogging and became inactive after the period of time. These types of bloggers are not regular contributors they will quit after some time due to various reasons. Absence of regular contribution with blogging leads to the failures
Absence of community participation
With internet you are not alone, you have millions of people around the globe with similar interests those who are ready to help you or like to make relationship with you. There are literally hundreds of popular social communities ( May it numbered above thousands) are available to participate where you can discuss, promote and learn yours and as well as others stuff . Lacking your focus over the community participation you are not only losing the good relationship but you are losing the authority of your blogging over search engines
Blog is not being updated regularly
Unlike any other technologies, WWW has changing their face more frequently so in this competitive edge everyone wants to get more updated and cutting edge information. If your blog is not updated regularly to chase with current terminology is considered as a dead meat.
Not having proper interaction with viewers and fellow bloggers
Interaction with viewers -Managing the blogs alone won’t give the results as you expected .when you are blogging, be in mind that you are writing for your audience, you should regularly interact with your viewers to get information of
what kind of topics they are seeking to appear with your blogs?
What your audience response over your writing topic and style
And much more questions will be answered by interacting with your audience
Failure to Interact with fellow bloggers- maintaining the healthy relationship with fellow bloggers will increase your success rate of your blog. Because not all the secrets of the blogging success are transparent to all some of the rules of game are still under secrets that can be disclosed only by getting from the fellow bloggers and also to get quality back links to increase page rank you should have constant relationship with your fellow bloggers .
Monopoly Mindset
No one can own or rule the World Wide Web, so having the monopoly mindset to take all the benefits or advantages of blogging results with failures. Its about given taken policy, if you want to take then you should ready to deliver. I noticed that some of the bloggers wants link back from other blogs but they doesn’t provide link backs to other sites or even further reading (reference links) to related posts . That kind of monopoly is very bad practice; those kind of bloggers will not get any top ranks in a longer run
Lack of motivation
Most of the bloggers will shows serious contribution when they startup and gradually became reduced with their energy levels and one day they quit their blog dreams that may also an abandoned blog forever . Being success blogging is not a short term play, it takes months even years of hard work that turns into success. Not witnessing any kind of success in terms of money or traffic that fades the motivation of bloggers that will results with abandon the blog and even some of them abandon the blogging.
Improper Time management
Wasting the time and resources will leads to the failures .Acting without planning and scheduling that leads to spending of time with unrelated or useless issues. Timing is crucial for any context, for blogging it should be given with one step ahead than any other terms.
Failure to create brand image
Setting up the brand image will gains trustworthy of your blog with your bloggers that makes your blog to builds its own empire on web , oppositely the blogs which are failed to create brand image will decreasing the chances of being popular or reputation among people. Be in mind that “You can’t first impression at second time “ so be sure to create the brand image when your audience first visits your blog
Doesn’t know the secrets of the game
Blogging with the known subjects will not live longer, to get succeed you have to know the secrets of the game that can be achieved through by investing time, money and contribution to update knowledgebase regularly. Knowing the shortcuts to better utilize the resources, time and knowledge can be outcome of the secrets of the game. Lack of understand the secrets of game will delays your blogging success
Higher bounce rate
Higher the bounce rate = Higher blogging failure
If the audience of your blogs has higher bounce rate means, you are seriously irritating your viewers or there is nothing interesting information or resources present with your blog. Retaining the viewership is much hurdle than driving traffic to the blog.
Promoting blogs at premature stage
That was a really bad idea to promote the blog when its not equipped with proper design and enough information. Promoting the blogs before getting ready is like diving from the clouds without parachute .If the user found that nothing important at their first visit with your blog then they surely never come back ever.
No utilization of proper tools
There are lot of all cutting edge tools are available to manage your blogs, analyze the competition, measuring the success and promote your blogs that saves lot of time and manpower. Whenever required bloggers should ready to utilize these kinds of tools. Staying away to use this resources will delay your success
Lack of promotion over web
Higher Traffic= Highest Visibility
Nothing will happens if your blog is not visible to any one , if you want to be success blogging, your blog will be promoted over web periodically with methodologies . Driving the traffic through web promotion not only the way to earn money from your blog but also to increase overall quality of blog by getting feedback from your audience
Being far away from innovate
Sticking with old modeled approach or strategy will not brings results .Trying to find the ways of innovation will makes the blog successful. Sticking around old custom technologies and never trying anything new will makes your blog just looks like a storeroom that contains the items of out of date.
Lack of Parallel working methodology
Posting and promoting the blog should be done parallel to meet the desired results. Contributing hundreds of blog posts without optimizing your blog on web will decreases the chance of targeting with large audience. Blog posting and promoting should be done parallel to meet the success, effective scheduling and planning is required for achieve this.
Lack of measuring the process periodically
Lack of measuring over periodical time intervals will have the chances of leaving your success. Measuring the process gives the clear idea of benchmarking your process. Helps you to find out
What strategies are working and what is not?
Where I am lacking?
What is my greatest threat and how can I over come?
These kind of questions will be answered by measuring the process periodically
Not ready to learn from the mistakes
Last but not least, the un compromising mistake is not ready to learn from the mistakes, doing the same mistake again and again or doing nothing after knowing the mistakes are the greatest mistakes of ever leads to the failure. That makes the blogger fell into underworld of failures where they will not return for ever
