Lets Talk About the 10 Mistakes Bloggers Are
Still Making

• We all make mistakes in our efforts to become the
  ultimate blogger, but every once in a while we
  need to be reminded of some of them to be
  successful.  Todays presentation is more about
  success than criticism we all are guilty of some
  these.  So take a peak and you may find yourself
  compelled to re-evaluate some of your posts or
  even move a totally new direction.

Too Much Complexity

• Remember the first rule of communication and
  getting your message out, your audience.  Who is
  your audience?  Sometimes it is often thought
  complexity is a sign of achievement,
  intelligence, or sophistication.  But actually
  the opposite is true. Stick with terms and
  language of your audience and you will never miss
  the mark on communicating.  Always put your
  personality in your writing as well.  People
  follow or purchase from people after a
  relationship is built not products.  Injecting
  your personality is key as they will get to know
  the real you.

Publishing Daily May Not Be Good Thing

• Believe it or not publishing daily to your blog
  is not a good thing.  This can cause all of your
  automatic social notifiers and email notifications
  to spam your clients email boxes.  This is not a
  good thing and your most valuable resource, your
  clients and partners, just get pounded by your
  email and notifications.  It can by annoying. 
  When you do post to your blog ensure your posts
  are relevant and provide valued information

Editing Your Posts In Lightening Speed

• This is a big one and we see this is the MOST
  common mistake made by bloggers.  Proofreading
  your work is really big. As you put your post
  or article together run it thru a spell checker
  such as Word or other tool to ensure your
  spelling is correct.  We prefer to use Notepad to
  write our initial article and then transfer to
  Word.  There we proof and check for grammar and
  spelling.  It is also super important to read
  your article or post aloud to yourself.  I know
  this sounds really weird, but when folks read
  they typically hear in their head the article as
  they read it.  You want your article or post to
  make sense and come across clearly.
• Other considerations may be
• - Does each paragraph naturally follow the
  paragraph before it?
• - Polish each sentence.
• The more effort you put into editing, the easier
  your post becomes to read. Your message becomes
  clearer, and your readers will be grateful.

Show Your Personality

• As mentioned before people by people and their
  service not products.  Folks want to know that
  you support them and the products you recommend
  to them.  This is crucial to your blogging
  business and cant be emphasized enough. 
  Additionally, we all write, have written or will
  write about the same topics.  What stands out
  about you?  It is what you put into your articles
  and posts that are different.
• What can you do differently?
• - View topics from a different perspective
• - Present converse opinions to suggest an
  opposite approach to what most people believe is
  right
• - Share your personal experiences and fortunes to
  guide your readers
• - Show them you have a sense of humor and
  entertain them
• You make your articles and posts unique.  Your
  readers dont just come back for more useful
  tips. They engage with you because of who you are.

Web-Friendly Fonts Rule!

• If you want consistency you dont want fonts that
  are not web-friendly.  Cool is good but doesnt
  always work.  We suggest you utilize the
  sans-serif (http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sans-seri
  f) font for all your main body content, and try
  not to use too many different fonts on one page
  or post.  If you want to get creative then use
  some of the fonts at dafonts.  These display the
  font and give you a proper way of creating your
  masterpiece while being web-friendly.

Optimizing Your Permalinks

• This subject we have seen quite frequently.  A
  good example of a bad or not so friendly SEO
  permalink is http//www.yourblog.com/p123.  Your
  permalink is what is displayed in the Search
  Engines when folks find your material.  Here is
  an example of a good permalink http//henrybradysb
  log.com/10-top-social-and-traffic-tools-for-your-b
  log-in-2014/.  This displays better, informs the
  reader what the title to the story is and brands
  your SEO much better for the search engines to
  read.  If you are using WordPress, you can change
  your permalink settings, go to (Settings -gt
  Permalinks and select Postname)
• If you dont have the post name option yet,
  youre not on WordPress 3.3, you possibly need to
  upgrade.  You could wait a bit for the update, or
  you could just add /postname/ as a custom
  permalink structure.

Not Understanding Your Audience

• Okay so you got your blog together and your
  products (if applicable) and you are getting
  traffic.  But no one is responding or converting?
   Could be you are not getting to know your
  audience to know what they need, want or how you
  can assist them.  There are many ways to get to
  know your audience.  Our favorite method is
  Survey Monkey (https//www.surveymonkey.com/).

  tools necessary to pop some questions to your
  audience.  Measure the feedback for your
  articles, promotions, website, etc.. To see if

  crucial to your blog.  According to

Intro Paragraph Captures The Reader

• You got the graphics, the fonts and the permalink
  good to go.  What about your first paragraph? 
  Does it grab your readers attention?  Does it
  answer a question or pose intrigue?  These are
  good things to insert into your first paragraph
  for any article or post you put on your blog. 
  The eye view as it is called (the top and first
  part of your blog visible upon opening) is what
  keeps your readers eyes glued to the article or
  post.  Take a little time to be creative with
  your first paragraph and look at your readers
  perspective.  Add a little personality and pose a
  question

Are You Talking The Same Subject Or Brand

• We know we have been guilty of this one. If you
  are a blogger that really likes to put your
  message out there, you can get away with the
  occasional post that strays from your primary
  message or brand. But if you are trying to build
  traffic, you need to find an editorial focus and
  stick to it. A tighter focus leads to higher
  traffic. This is why we have tried to narrow our
  own focus to three areas leadership, traffic,
  and publishing. If I want to write on something
  else (e.g., fitness), we do so through one of
  these three lenses.
