7 Reasons Why Bloggers Fail And What You Can Learn From Them
- They did not do enough research to learn how to make a blog successful. It often takes many blog posts to start getting traffic on Google and time to get your posts ranked. Many bloggers use keyword finder tools to find and use long-tail keywords, with low competition that they can rank for. They often put them in their title, URL, meta description, and first 150 words of their article. It often takes a lot of work up front, with little to no results in the beginning. Using at least one social media platform (such as Pinterest) that your audience uses can help drive traffic to your blog, and is what popular blogs do.
- They do not understand how to properly reach to their target market. Use the social media platform(s) that your audience uses and create helpful content. Engage with your audience. Find a way to answer their questions and solve their problems.
- They are not providing valuable content that their reader wants. The most important thing is the quality of the written text in the blog post. Readers want valuable information that is useful to them. Readers go online to search for recipes, look for How To posts, gain decoration inspiration and learn more about their interests.
- They are not posting consistently. Posting consistently keeps your blog fresh and updating your old posts keeps your blog relevant.
- Their blog and social media do not look good. See Canva and Pinterest presets for help turning out beautiful content.
- They gave up too soon. They didn’t stick with it for long enough. It takes time for Google and Pinterest to rank your posts and trust you. One statistic says that it takes on average 6 months to make money blogging.
- Lack of promotion. Successful bloggers promote their work a lot on social media.
