Building a blog takes time and true effort. No one goes viral overnight unless you’re some celebrity and even they have to work up their stats.
The first year of blogging is like infancy where you might try to use some excuses as a crutch to explain simple mistakes. I have personally learned more this year about blogging than I ever have and there is so much more to learn. Every new blogger will go through some type of learning curve on what works and what doesn’t.
Do you start with WordPress, Tumblr or blogger? How to get more readers? Can I make enough money blogging to quit my job? Nevertheless, some of us will make mistakes along the way and it could be the deciding factor on whether you keep at it or not.
Apologizing for your absence in writing
Life happens and we all get busy. Some people have more time on their hands then most and can pump out posts consistently. Hell, I post either 1 or 2 times a week and thankfully you all haven’t complained yet. Did I forget to tell you that, “I loved you all?” Seriously, just write the post and move on. I don’t mind an absence post that you will be on vacation, but announce that early on so people know what to expect.The Stat Gawker
Yes, this is where you can track how your posts are and how much traffic you get, but if all you do is this, you need some help. Have your stats in place, but let it be for marketing purposes as a barometer for things in the future. Focus on the building conversations on your blog as it grows, not the quantity, but the accuracy and relevancy to your audience.Forgetting to Contribute to Your Community
When I started I learned how important this was and thank god I jumped on quick and started opening my mouth. Do you? You have no idea how important networking with other bloggers, comment and visit other blogs. If you are a part of forum, be sure to comment and contribute to get to know other bloggers. Ken, you rock!Jumping on Business Offers
Starting a blog is exciting and after a period of time, you might get approached from companies wanting to do business with you. Leaping on board to join in partnership with a brand should be done with caution. Keep your excitement to a minimum, prep your blog, ask lots of questions and read the fine print. Just because a well-known brand asked you to be a part of their campaign don’t mean that they are prepared to offer you a fair compensation.Spreading Your Self Too Thin
There are some people who are very organized and there are others that are all over the place. I can admit that I was doing too much at once and it left me drained and overwhelmed. In my article, 5 Tips How to Blog When You Work an 8 to 5 Job, made me realize how scheduling times to blog and putting priorities into perspective is crucial. Finish what you started and plan accordingly on when to blog, comment and spread the love to others.Not Backing Up Your Site
Security online is very important and if you want to keep the work you spent time creating, backing it up should be your number one priority regularly. Not believing that you couldn’t get hacked only leaves you vulnerable and ready for the kill. It doesn’t take much to do and there are many plugins to help you get there.No Clear Plan
No matter what you decide to ultimately blog about; make it a subject you can expand on. I had a blog about Golf a year ago and as much as I love the game; playing it was better than blogging about it. I didn’t have a clear plan, (I was clueless, let’s be real) and my focus was all over the place. After a while, I ran out of things to say and I realized that I wasn’t as passionate about it as I thought I was. As my friend Adrienne, says, “Stop Obessing About It and Do It Anyway“. You can blog about whatever you want, but your topics should reflect your focus.Numbers-Focused
Everyone wants people to read our blogs, but once you have been established and you receive more readers, where is your true focus then? Traffic is critical for any blogs success, but doesn’t mean much if there is no action taken by those visitors. Some people create goals of reaching a certain amount of readers and at some point forget why they are blogging in the first place. If you write good content, comment on other blogs and network, readers will seek you out. No one wants to read about why you don’t have enough traffic or how high it is. The next person reading this might not have many readers and hearing you “whine” only makes you look stupid. This prevents your blog from growing and no one wants to read a whiner. Mistakes should be viewed as a positive reinforcement rather than a “Debbie-downer”. Focus on building relationships and engaging with your community. You can have thousands of visitors, but if none of them connect with you, it means nothing.What’s the biggest mistake you have ever made as a blogger?
- What mistakes have you made in your first year of blogging?
- Do you feel your changes made an impact on your blog?
- Do you still make the same mistakes?
- Have you quit and come back to blogging?

I find myself being to “stat hungry” from time to time. I’m currently not running ads on my blog so it shouldn’t matter. But if I see a major dip in readers or commenters, I wonder what I’m doing wrong.
Measuring is easy for me since I blog daily. If today’s post gets 50 comments and tomorrow’s gets 4, I wonder.
The best advice I can give to anyone is not to force yourself. If you have nothing to say, say nothing. When you start ‘half-assing’ it, your readers will notice. Some will walk away.

Brandon, that was deep! When it comes to posts, that is one reason why I don’t force myself to post more then I can. Time isn’t always on my side, so when I do post, I try and make sure it’s something of value and means something to another reader. I love what you said about half-assing your work, it’s just not worth trying to “sound” like the post is something unique.

I did not think the blogging world was so serious until I got into it. I am not in it for the numbers or the comments (even though I love comments) I do it to get things off my mind and to have a sort of diary for others to read. I post a lot maybe a little to much but I have something to say everyday so it’s an outlet for me. Great advice

Not understand the importance of colors and how they can add (or takeaway) from my blog. Also, the beauty of Stumble Upon. Oh, how I love Stumble Upon! I’m also guilty of watching my stats too much, but what can I say, I’m a sports fan, so I love stats! I want to know why I got over 200+ hits in an hour last Saturday (SU contributed, but I still don’t know what sparked it). I try not to get caught up, but I can’t help myself! LOL!

Dude. Q. Seriously. When you stumble me, MAGIC happens. Your stumble today got me 2,300 views in an hour.
You stumbled me 2-3 days ago, and it hit 9,100 views. *9,100*
I have learned a stumbling trick. When you stumble something, it’ll show up on a half-dozen other stumblers’ list. If *THEY* stumble it, it compounds and compounds and….
The trick is to make something insightful, entertaining, whatever enough so they see it and like it after digesting 30 seconds of it. It created an avalanche effect.
A gorgeous, gorgeous avalanche…. oh crap, I’m talking stats again…

Hey Sonia, I finally made it!
Aren’t you something, giving me a shout out in your post. Thank you so much! I really appreciate that.
Ah, what mistakes did I make in my first year. ALL OF THEM!!! Yeah I know, kind of sad really. My posts were boring, I wrote only about learning how to do affiliate marketing and I didn’t interact with any other bloggers. I told you… Live and learn my friend, live and learn.
The best advice I ever got was in a training community I joined last year. They said, create your blog, blog about the journey you are on, share with your readers what you are going through and dealing with, teach them what you have learned, create your social media sites, interact with others, create content every single week and comment on other people’s blogs every single day. Consistency is the key and boy were they ever right on.
Whatever you do, don’t give up. There is plenty of support out there from other bloggers so all you have to do is ask. Your post is a great starting point. Thanks for spelling all of this out for us. Wish I would have done this much sooner. Oh well, I wouldn’t be where I am now had that happened so I guess it all worked out for the best!
Hope you’ve had a fabulous day! I’ll be seeing you again real soon.

Hey Sonia, Great article because it makes me feel like I’m not alone. When I first started I was all over the place too. But It’s ok because the content was good. I was focusing on helping “Newbies” come into blogging at first. But as we all do, I have grown to do what I was born to do. Helping People. So now I’m focusing on the Self Development niche. I’m out of my closet!
See, I have been a practicing psychic for 30 years now. I run a very good business that way. It is in the helping field. But I got stuck because I was in my psychic closet. I thought that people would get turned off by that. But when it comes to business, we all have to be transparent and true. That is who I am so I’m focusing more on intuitive coaching and having a blast. That’s my story to share!
Sonia
Donna, that was awesome and thank you so much for sharing. I loved the tibit: I’m out of my closet! That was funny, but it’s nice to see that others sharing what their struggles were and what they did to overcome it. Someone might read this and it could help them not only relate, but know what’s the best move for them with their blog. Thank you for taking the time to write this message and sharing! You do that well Donna!

Hi Sonia,
Great to see another excellent blog post from you . I get following from your post
1) Enjoy your blog
2) Create a good community
3) Create about your existing traffic more than hoarding more and more.
Infact I was also about to write about point number three ( that it is important to concentrate on what we have rather than what we want).
Another point I liked is having a goal. Without a goal or purpose of action, many blogs have closed down. It is indeed sad but it happens to all those who do not focus on sending the right message to their listeners.

You know I am actually going through a revamp with my blog and you’re so right about having a goal with your blog. No goal, no direction, no purpose and no writing. I think some people try and but don’t put the time and effort into learning everything they can to make their own blog great. We can get so caught up in what someone else is doing and lose sight of how to make our own blog better. These key tools are so essential and I have to honestly say that I am still in learning mode!

I know you’re right about keeping in touch with the community. But I find that the hardest thing. When I post and comment on blogs, it already feels like I’m doing community things.
When doing several things every day, one more added thing feels overwhelming to an already overwhelming schedule! I know it’s important, but just don’t know how to spend the computer hours that I need to be sending!

Welcome Pastor Sherry! I know the feeling and what I figured that worked best for me, was setting up a day where that is all I do. My day job and my family demands my attention most times, so I have had to re-balance my life around my blog and the amount of time I put into sharing the blog love. I use to feel bad about not posting frequently, but I am happy that my readers don’t hate me. Ha Ha! For me I would rather post a great article then something half-done. Some can put more time in their blog and that is awesome, but for me, once I got realistic about what I can and can’t do, it made it much easier. Balance is key. Pastor Sherry, I thank you for your visit and taking the time to leave a great comment. I know there are more people out there going through the same thing!

Michaele Harrington
Hey Sonia,
Wow I don’t know where to start on newbie mistakes as I made so many! I had no plan, I had no idea how to get traffic, SEO was a foreign word and I had no clue what building a community meant.
When I did receive the occasional comment, I was just excited that someone left a comment. It never occurred to me that I needed to reply. Duh!!
WordPress is such an awesome platform in that right out of the box you can rank your posts on google etc but all of that means nothing if your visitors arrive to a non existant community. I had no concept of social proof when I started out, I just figured if people didn’t comment or share it was because they didn’t like the content. It was only after reading ‘Groundswell’ that I really understood that the vast majority of people who read your posts are ‘spectators’ and will most likely never publicly engage with your content or even leave any sign that they’ve been on your site.
That said, the other great point the book made is that people will engage where they feel acknowledged for their contribution. Hence my earlier learning curve about building community. Once I learned the concept of syndicating and engaging, everything changed.
Oh and btw to this day, my posting frequency is all over the shop but thankfully I have a tribe syndication alliance that looks after my randomness!

Some good thoughts. I’ve found, with my blog as with so many other things in life, I’ve actually learned more from some of the mistakes I’ve made than from the easy successes. As long as you learn from your missteps, screwing up is an important part of the process.

Spreading yourself too thin is something I feel so bad for. I started a Mummy blog (although I hate to call it that) over a year ago to figure out social media – thing is it only appeals to a tiny % of who I really am. I found myself shoved into a niche I don’t really enjoy. BUT I love my site and my mamas but I neglect them, massively. I want to concentrate on my new site but there don’t seem to be enough hours in the day.

Dear Sonia,
This was a validating read! Thank you!!
I must say that you captured the essence of my own experience in blogging. What a fun experience it has been indeed. Let me tell you, I appreciate your well-thought out lists and how you deliver your message. Your style makes this so much fun to read. I heard my little internal Homer Simpson voice belting “DOH!” a few times as I was reading! lol I have BEEN THERE!
I think your tip on Absence Blogging is a valid point. We need to be thinking in advance here. I’ve started to make a habit of copying down helpful blogs and ideas well in advance because, I am like you in that 1-2 articles a week is about my max due to other commitments…well, that and I also like to pre-plan to make sure that what I’m putting out is at all helpful to those who may be reading. This is SOOO key. We need to deliver on our blogs. Bring it or go home yo.
Love the tips. I’m going to share this article with a couple of my new MLSP team mates who are just getting started with their blogs. I feel that they will find this extremely helpful! Thanks for bringing it, Sonia! You’re a winner!

Hi Sonia, Great post! You shared very interesting insights about your experiences with blogging. I find it fascinating that you started a blog about golf and then ran out of things to write about.
I write about personal technology and I can appreciate those who don’t write about it must run out of things to write about. In the tech world, things change daily so I have a difficult time deciding which of the many topics to write about!
My biggest mistake was a post I did about how to spy on kids’ text messages. Readers had asked me to write about it, but the topic felt wrong. My blog is titled The Wonder of Tech and it’s all about how great tech is and how it can help us in our daily lives even if we’re not techies.
I felt horrible writing about how to spy on your kids, my children were upset with me for writing it, and that post got very little traffic and almost no comments.
That taught me not to write against the theme of my blog. People have given me a hard time because I only write positive articles about tech, but that’s what the blog is about.
I also thought your golf example was fascinating because you have to have a thorough passion for a topic if you’re going to blog about it. Luckily I have that with tech because I feel that I live and breathe it. But if you don’t have that kind of passion (as you discovered with golf), you shouldn’t be blogging about the topic.
And one more thing. Instead of apologizing after you’re gone for a while, try to announce that you’ll be gone ahead of time so people don’t keep checking your blog and give up.
Excellent article, Sonia!

Carolyn! Thanks for stopping by and you are now my new technology guru. I work in IT during the day, so all I hear about is VMware and Dell so it’s the norm for me. Regarding golf, I love the sport and I playing it is more exciting then writing about it, at least for me that is. I watch it and even check out the nightly lessons to improve my game, but to write about it was not my idea of blogging. I got extremely bored and I disbanded the blog. I felt bad, but if my heart isn’t in it, then I am wasting my time and others who did read my blog. I didn’t receive many comments so it wasn’t any love lost. I love how you touched on blogging about articles that have no relation to your blog.
When I started this blog, I went in a few areas and I am ok with those topics, but my blog is evolving and I need to evolve with it. I will be changing around some topics and already adding some pages. When I get asked for guest posting here, I have become very picky about the topics I will post and like you, if it doesn’t fit my blog, it won’t appear on my blog. I have to come over and visit what your doing on your blog and hang out for awhile.

Hi Sonia,
I am new here. Made the connection with you through Adrienne. The power of networking…
I started a blog about inspiring sports motivation last year and put out great content regularly for six months. I was waiting for traffic to come in, but my comments segments was bare except for spammers’ comments. BTW, one of my mistake was not realizing that they were spam comments. I happily published them. hahaha….
My biggest mistake with that blog was thinking that people will find me online and read all my great content. In fact I was a beautiful shop in the middle of the jungle. No one knew I existed.
Now, with my current blog, I know better. That is why I am here on your blog. Would you be so kind as to pop over and support Harriet Cabelly on my interview series on blogging. Much appreciated.
Oh love your unique blocked out comments segment.

Welcome Jimmy, I did that with my Golf blog until I realized what it was really meant for and there were tons. Now, I am very hip to the tactics they try and when in doubt, I always check them out before approving anything. I just don’t want people pushing products to readers here that aren’t asking for it.

I’m only in my first few months so I’m sure I have many stupid mistakes yet to come. My biggest so far are not knowing anything about SEO and GoDaddy. I’d like to get off of GoDaddy but now have to deal with moving the site, wish I had researched hosting a bit more earlier on. Smart things I did? I post frequently and joined a social media users group hosted by the Maui Economic Development Board. Both of these actions has helped me learn and retain a tremondous amount in a fairly short amount of time. I also made new friends and gained new readers and a twitter network through this group. Our meetings are free and they also offer very affordable hands on courses. Thank you Sonia for such a great topic! I too am trying to balance a finance 9 to 5 with my new writing passion, my blog.

Welcome Tania! I saw your website and that dessert on the front page is making me hungry! Hosting is very important and I only use Hostgator. Everyone has their own preference, but for customer service, I have never had a problem with them personally and they have helped in in ways you can’t even imagine. Plus, having access to them 24hours a day is a beneficial to me as well. The best part about making mistakes early on is that you learn from there very quick and can start making the right decisions to help your blog get where it needs to be.
