Blogging can be a whole lot of fun and extremely rewarding at the same time, but only if you work smart, play nicely by the rules, have a lot of patience, be helpful and resourceful, and remain totally focused on your goal at all times. However, most folks fail at blogging, and there's a bunch of genuine reasons why.
In this post, we'll take a look at a bunch of the things that can actually guarantee failure in blogging. So, if you're doing any of the following tactics listed below, hopefully, you can avoid them in your quest for blogging success. Whatever success means for you.
OK so let's dive straight in!
If you want to fail at blogging, forget about writing your plan of action, setting goals, or getting yourself properly
But, if you really feel the need to plan ahead, you can get organized, and stay focused on reaching your blogging goals using my Ultimate Pro Blog Planner workbook.
I mean, who reads those self-promotional, essay-long pages anyway? It's not like anyone would be remotely interested in learning more about the person behind the blog, right?
That said, if you really care about writing a great about page, check out mine to get some ideas and inspiration.
Don't waste your time with a beautifully designed blog, because if you do, you'll end up with a blog that people will actually enjoy visiting and exploring, and reading your content.
Of course, if you're interested in creating a memorable and unique design for your blog, check out these awesome WordPress themes which you can easily customize.
Unless you want to get your blog noticed, don't bother with writing useful, compelling, or valuable content, just focus on writing boring, mediocre content that does nothing to provide any value, always.
Remember, writing great content will only get your blog noticed, get people subscribing, and all the rest of it. So, if you want to guarantee your failure in blogging, just write crappy content that no one will care about reading, commenting on, or even sharing.
Do everything by yourself, you don't need to connect with anyone in your niche, or get help from anyone.
Creating connections and making friends online as a blogger will only get your name around the blogosphere, and probably help you to grow your readership, build trust, and elevate your blog to success, etc. Why would you want any of those things when you're trying to fail, epically?
Screw that email list, seriously guys and dolls, it just takes up way too much time to set up.
And then you've got to waste even more time crafting useful emails, getting them sent out, only to have people click on the links to read your content, or even buy into our products or services. You don't want any of those things, right?
Of course, if you do care about growing your blog readership and your email list, read this post.
Have you heard of this web push notification thing going around
Apparently, it's a great way to notify your subscribers about your latest posts, offerings, and incentives, quickly. But I wouldn't bother with that either unless you're trying to grow and succeed at blogging.
If for some odd reason you want to enable push notifications on your blog, check out this tutorial post here.
Forget about making your blog user-friendly,
Have
No one cares about your spelling or grammatical errors. Hundreds of bloggers don't bother to check this, so why should you start? Just hit publish and be done with it.
Don't bother reading or replying to any comments on your blog, doing so will just take up an enormous amount of your time, and remember, you're not remotely interested in building meaningful relationships with your readers, right?
When it comes to using your blog to promote affiliate products and services, just break all of the rules in the book, it's the only way you'll make money.
Who cares whether a product works or not, or whether a service has a bad reputation or not, just as long as you make a nice fat commission, that's all that matters, right?
Now, here's what I want you to do.
Of course, I'm being overly sarcastic in this post and stating the obvious.
I want you to do completely the opposite of everything listed above. Because if you do not and actually apply everything I've mentioned above for real, you will most definitely fail at blogging, and on an epic scale too.
Hopefully, you've enjoyed reading through this post. I've tried to make it
