I think my biggest mistake was slowing down on my posts. I started to have brain freeze and I could not think of much to say. Blogging is a lot of work and it takes time.

In reply to The Mom. Thank you Patti! I started off well with it in the beginning and even getting it to a PR 4 which was a good incentive to blog regularly. As time went on and as I started adding more things to my plate, I started neglecting it and here I am today. I know i need to make some room on my plate so I can start blogging consistently and do all the other necessary things to get my blog hopping again. Thank you again for your encouragement.

Hi Sophia,

I hear ya! My blog is not an ‘internet marketing’ blog so I feel like I’m out of the loop sometimes.

BUT…I do want my blog to get noticed and eventually make a little money through some of the items I promote.

SO…I do listen when Nicole speaks! The SEO thingy, keyword phrases, blogging regularly, and commenting on blogs, have ALL brought me traffic. Without traffic, I was losing interest… without interest I was losing traffic. So, there’s that.

Good luck to you and I wish you loads of traffic! 😉

My problem is not blogging regularly and not focusing on SEO. I know the reason I do this is because it’s not a business blog. And just because it’s not a business blog, I still shouldn’t be making these mistakes. This is something I definitely need to work on.

Mistakes I’ve made blogging? Ah, how about all the above – at least one time or another. This is a great topic and points out the need to go back to my blog and make sure I’m doing everything I can. Thanks for the info!

All I can say is WOW! I have just in the last couple of days found you online from a PDF transcript that came as a bonus to a program I just purchased from Ronnie Nijmeh of PLR.me I am so glad that I came across you and your sites. Incredible content! Thanks

I have been working on my blogging skills as well and am fairly new at the blogging game. I would have to say that my biggest mistake is just not getting to it sooner. I always like to make things perfect before getting it up there but someone once told me “just get it up there and perfect it later or you will never get it up there”

I believe that is the truth…It is so important to just take ACTION NOW..and fix it later! We are always learning.

Highly valuable information for bloggers. Even being an experienced blogger I have found a lot of useful things which I didn’t know before. Also, it was very interesting for me to hear the opinions of successful people and recommendations of blogging experts. Great article, it was pleasure to read it. Thanks.

Hi Nicole! I really enjoyed this post! It seems as though we are all perpetually trying to strike that right balance in the traffic-relationship contiuum, with success just on the other side!

Your first point is an interesting challenge for new bloggers like me. To a certain extent, we all write for ourselves, but we can’t assume that our ultimate target audience will be like us. So, how do we find that direction – how to pick out our tarket in the crowd when we don’t yet have a crowd? Is it better to write to a figment of our imagination, or instead see who naturally gravitates to our website, then choose from among the chosen? I’m still thinking that one over. What are your thoughts?

One of my favorite segments of this blog is the expert briefs. I love to see the variety of experience from the experts. I too have made all the mistakes mentioned above but my BIGGEST mistake is givng up too soon. I have allowed myself to get discouraged by the lack of instant gratification and move on to the next thing. That’s a big no no if you want to see success.

I think I’ve made these mistakes times 10. The most costly ones were not using SEO — the right way. And, the most important not moderating my blog comments. Whew! That was a pain. However, you live and you learn. Many blogs later I think I finally got it. However, I still make mistakes…it’s just in my nature.
