Why Not Using Coupons Can Make Your Blog Fail.

7 Mistakes That Can Easily Make Your Blog Fail

It’s not just good content that makes readers think of your blog seriously. The first impression plays a very important role too, and if your blog doesn’t look professional, you can’t even hope that it’ll become popular among people from all over the world, or your country at least.

If you don’t want your blog to fail once you’ve started, you should pay attention to some very important details, and make it look professional. A few seconds may be enough for your visitor to form an impression about your blog and decide whether they want to continue reading or not.

So, what are those factors that make your blog fail? 

1. Not Using Coupons When You Can.

Using a 150 dollars off voucher for travel expenses at the very least, is absolutely required when you first start out a blog. You don’t want to be spending hundreds on hosting costs on a blog right out of the gate.

2. Advertisement Quantity

The less advertisement your blog has – the better. If you don’t have it at all, it will be brilliant. In such a way you’ll give your readers an impression that you do blogging for them, not for money. On the other hand, some adverts of famous companies and brands can give you a better reputation and make your blog look well-presented.

There is nothing bad in advertisement anyway, if you use it wisely, and if it fits the content of your blog in general. One more moment to remember: Your self-advertisement can have a bad influence on your blog, so don’t be too intrusive in each of your posts.

3. Advertisement Types

The quantity of ads is not everything. There are some blogs on the web, where you can’t find many ads, but it frustrates visitors anyway. If you don’t want to have the same situation with your blog, forget about pop-ups and pop-unders at once. As for banners, sometimes it looks nice and ingenious. Make sure ads placed on your blog are relevant to your niche or the target audience you seek.

4. Omnipresent Social Sharing Buttons

All blogs should add social network buttons today, as it may help visitors share interesting content through their social media profiles. It’s good for a blog of course, but it doesn’t mean that you should use these buttons everywhere and all around. Use them where they would be logical to find, before or after a post, for example.

5. Stereotyped and, Frankly, Bad Design

Your blog’s design is its face. It helps visitors to make an impression about it. Do you want it to be positive? Then you should seriously work on your blog’s design. If you have some money to spend on your blog, you can order its design to specialists. It will look nice and add +1,000 to your reputation.

You can always use free templates for your blog. Moreover, some of them look really great and not worse than a professional design. Your task is to choose a template very carefully, and maybe add some personal details to make your blog look really unique. Having a unique blog design is a surefire way of setting yourself apart quickly.

6. General Congestion

Ads, social buttons, many widgets, pop-ups that offer you RSS-subscription, strange and unclear titles, uncomfortable navigation – all this makes an impression of farce and bothers your visitors. How to solve such a problem? It’s simple: Make your blog cleaner and more understandable. Your visitor will find the post they need even if there are no widgets at all.

7. Content Aggregation

Try to offer as much personal content as possible, and as less content of other authors as you can. It’s also important to notice that readers always like to find new, unique, and useful information. If an author shares his personal experience, if he is a real professional of the sphere he talks about, then his content will always be in high demand.

If you pay attention to some of the things described above at least, your blog will certainly look better and more professional. Don’t spend much money on your blog or say “no” to all types of advertisement at once. The main thing is to like your blog and do blogging with pleasure. Pay attention to the smallest details. Don’t be lazy – and everything will be fine.
