Every blogger wants huge traffic on his website. This happens rarely to all. Every blogger has to work hard and put in other tactics to get huge viewers on his blog page. Today we will try to know what blogging mistakes need to be avoided in 2021.

One by one we are going to discuss all 12 points, which will help all new bloggers to implement in their websites and draw good traffic.

What are the good ways to promote a website for free?

1)Niche Selection-

The first reason is that perhaps the niche that you should choose a specific enough. So again, people who’ve been blogging for a decade, you know, they already have that like an established audience.

They have become a star in the Google search. Now the important thing for you is to make sure that you choose a very specific niche. So, you can’t just be a sundry blogger anymore.

You’ve got to be more specific than that. Because let me be honest, there are a ton of new bloggers out there. So, what is unique about you, and what specifically do you write about, choose a niche within a niche.

So, don’t just be a sundry blogger, be a sincere blogger. you know, you have to choose a very specific category go deep down your niche to really give yourself a leg up.

You need to read more and try to explore what you can do better than others. Which types of problems you can solve. How can you help people?

If you need some help with identifying what specific type of niche you want to go into, I have written different blog niche ideas, and they’re very specific. You will find something or different categories which kind of help you choose something more specific.

2) Explore Opportunity-

The fourth reason is that your content isn’t serving any purpose in particular. Look at every single piece of content as an opportunity. Be ready to teach something, or to answer a specific question.

Therefore, every time somebody reads a blog post or watches one of your videos, they should leave feeling like they learned something or they were inspired by something.

You must write some unique content whether it is in form of text or video. You must provide a specific solution to the problem(s). You have to feel like an audience and focus on the solution.

Believe me, if you succeed in providing solutions and giving the right information. You have won the half battle; you have won the audience base.

3) Creative & Unique Content-

The fifth reason could be that maybe your content isn’t that great. Friends, when we all start out, To be honest with you, all of our content stinks. We know nothing what the heck we’re doing. So, it’s okay if your content performs poorly right now.

I suggest you’ve got to keep practicing and practicing until you figure out how to write the best blog posts or create the best videos.

Make sure that every single blog post, every single video teaches something, inspire something, make sure that you’re very clear and concise in the way that you teach something, make sure that you’re very organized. You have to learn from all your mistakes.

Explore your information and properly. Be ready to consume that information in little bite-sized pieces, which makes it easy for you to implement in your next blog posts.

So, just keep practicing on your content. If you’re creating videos, keep filming until you feel you finally have gotten it right.

My initial blogs weren’t so good. But I am proud of them. I have learned a lot from my writing practice. Every day I was improving.

When I was creating videos for my YouTube English tutorial videos, they were not quite good. I didn’t even know what the heck I was doing. But I had to start somewhere, and you just have to keep practicing writing blog posts and creating videos until you finally get it.

4) SEO Friendly Content-

SEO (Search Engine Operation) helps your blog to get a better search option.

Blogger and WordPress both need SEO and SEO is done by the users.

Blogger doesn’t give any plugins but WordPress gives easy tools to use an SEO plugin like Yoast SEO. click

5) Keyword Planning-

The eighth reason could be that you’re not using very good keywords. Now, by keywords, I mean, if you are using Google’s Keyword Planner, and you are trying to find which keywords to use, your inclination might be to pick up the ones that have actually high search volume.

You know, people are looking for this like a million times a month. But on the flip side of that, you have to look at the competition. So is the competition really high, that may be a good keyword, but be clever enough to use keywords.

Patiently work hard to find keywords that are maybe on the lower end of the volume number, but also have low competition, give you good traffic results.

Those are the keywords that you might want to use. That way you can try to get that first-page spot when it comes to ranking in Google.

Keyword research is one of the toughest works in the blogging field. When you are new, it would seem to be the toughest journey, but you can learn it with practice.

6) Video Updates-

The ninth reason could be I’m sorry, but you’re not using video in your blogging business. People get so irritated when I talk about this because they’re like.

If you say that I want to be a blogger but I don’t want to be a YouTuber. Believe me, I don’t want you to be a YouTuber either. I want you to run a blogging business.

That’s why, if you want to run a blogging business, you got to be savvy with the tools that you use to harness the power of lifting and taking off with your platform.

So, you have to think of it this way. Video is really important for two main reasons, in particular, number one, it humanizes your brand.

Therefore, people feel much easier remembering face if people hear you talking, and they see your hand gestures, and people, who like your video content, can get carried away to take action and read your blogs.

Suppose, if you read a blog post that I’ve written, and you just saw my words, but you couldn’t even hear the inflexions in my voice. It’s just kind of harder to remember who I am.

It is a well-known fact if you can see somebody talking on camera. It’s way easier to kind of connect with them as a human and look at them. You may try harder.

Now the second reason video helps to hint Google, where I write a blog post. I hope that Google helps differently.

Imagine, when people will find your website because they searched. And then they can see your video pop up in the Google search results.

So, then they go to the video and then they realize I have a website and so they find their way back to my website.

Isn’t it fantastic to reach a big audience through two mediums like website and YouTube?

7) Readability-

The tenth reason could be that your blog posts are not very easy to read. Textbooks are boring, for many.

Imagine if people find textbooks boring, then I can guarantee that all the cool people out there, may find them very boring as well.

So, the important thing to keep in mind when you’re writing your blog posts is to break them up. Use small paragraphs of 5–6 lines. Don’t have these like long 10 sentence paragraphs. It’s not the proper way you do.

When you break things up, and you have tons of bullet points, you keep your paragraphs fairly short, you have videos you have, you know, pictures in there. Well, now the blog post is broken up. And therefore, it’s a lot softer on the eyes, and it’s easier to read through.

8) Uploading & Speed-

What matters most, there are a couple of things, I would describe here

The first could be speed if it takes a long for your site to load. And that’s a total taxing. And honestly, people are going to get bored, if they don’t know who you are, they’re not going to wait around for your site to finally load.

So, you want to try to keep things running as fast as possible. The second thing could be that it’s just hard to navigate. Sometimes I’ll land on a website, and it looks stunning, the design is just gorgeous. But man, I can’t find what I’m looking for to save my life.

And I never go back to that website because it’s hard to navigate, make sure that you have-

  • a search bar somewhere
  • the categories kind of lined out for them to easily get through
  • different links that you’re utilizing the menu
  • blog posts sorted out by subcategories

That way, if they are looking for something specific underneath your niche, and they can easily find it. You are a winner.

9) Give Importance to Readers-

One more suggestion, you should focus on the small following numbers that you already have. So, this small number could be your big asset, don’t be worried when you see other bloggers have a huge following base.

Don’t neglect the people that are already kind of following them. Give them real value, they can support you to grow from one to millions.

Don’t wait for big numbers, the small following base can turn your fortune. Make sure that even if you have 10 people following you and none of them is actually related to you that you value those 10 people.

You should email them because they’re important subscribers, your first email subscriber, that’s not your dad or brother. Whether he is single, is just as important as your 10,000 subscribers. So, keep that in mind and really value the people that you already have following you.

10) Promotion-

Start on the right channels for your particular audience. There are a lot of different ways that we can promote our blog post nowadays, there’s Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Quora, and Pinterest.

There’s no need for you to become an expert at all of them. In fact, I definitely don’t recommend you try to do that, because you’ll just be spreading yourself too thin.

So, what I like to do like my personal preference is I focus on just a few main things.

Focus on-

Because these channels work really well. They can get the audience that you may be targeting.

Instead of focusing on just building raving fans on YouTube and Pinterest, they give me the opportunity because you can click different links and you can include links back to your website, and talk about how they can find stuff back at my website.

That gives the opportunity to kind of lead them back to my website that way. It will help you build the platform on that social media platform.

11) Be Active-

You have to focus on these 6 steps. I hope these steps will guide you to chalk out your strategies and proceed with improved plans-

· Stop Laziness & No Procrastination-

· Change Your Mindset

· Spread Network & Connections

· Develop Skills

· Make Packages & Start Pricing

· Analysis & Planning

12) Profile Backlinks-

Friends, if you have recently launched your website. How will Google or other Search Engines come to know that your website establishes somewhere on the internet? You have to advertise it.

Don’t worry, I am not saying you to invest money in Ads. You can create many profiles on different social media platforms. Creating profiles is free. As you have social media accounts Facebook, Linked.in, Instagram, etc.

Same you can create backlinks profiles for your website on these platforms. You should create a page on Facebook, a business or job profile on Linked.in. You should map your website on these platforms.

These are the most visited places where Search Engines or Google crawler comes frequently. If a search engine sees your website link, it automatically comes to know that this website somewhere.

In this way, you are creating your footprints, you are making Google that my website also exists, remember me also.

You have to focus on marketing also and without spending money you can start marketing on various social media platforms.

Whether you get traffic or not, people click on your link and come to your website or not. You have to leave your footprints to make Google aware. You must submit your website link on Search Consoles like Google and Bing and click here.
