2. 1. They Don’t Have a
Niche
Who are you talking to? You must
determine your audience to keep your
posts relevant and helpful.
3. 2. They Don’t Have a
Dedicated Domain
There’s nothing wrong with using a free
blog service. Just pray they don’t delete
your account (it happens quite often)!
Having your own URL (ex.
www.danache.com) ensures your
complete control.
4. 3. They Don’t Use Images
People’s eyes literally go cross-eyed at
the sight of too much text.
Use pictures and video to make your
content more appealing.
5. 4. They Ramble
Rambling on and on in a person-to-
person convo is one thing. Rambling
while you’re blogging . . . not so good.
Choose a topic and stick to it!
6. 5. They’re Not
Conversational
Blogging is a conversation (sans the
rambling).
Don’t be too technical or your readers will
bore quickly. Imagine talking to an
associate. Then blog.
7. 6. Their Blogs Are Too
Long
A good blog should only be around 300-
600 words.
Keep it simple, concise and to the point!
8. 7. They Don’t Edit
Grrr!! One of my pet peeves as a writer is
people who publish content without
editing.
Read over your blog before you hit
publish! Readers aer esily anoyed bye
bad grammer grammar.
9. 8. They Spend too Much Time
on It
I’ve adopted a method of “speed
blogging.” I can publish an entire post
(images and video included) in less than
30 minutes!
10. 9. They Don’t do any SEO
Every blogger should know basic SEO.
And if you’re wondering what SEO is,
you’re not using it!
There’s no point in blogging if no one can
find what you wrote!
11. 10. They Don’t Syndicate
Syndication (or sharing) your blog is just
as important as writing it.
Google won’t do you any free favors, so
be sure to share your blog across all your
social media accounts for more
engagement.
