We can all agree we’ve made a number of mistakes along our blogging journey and I will be the first person to admit that. Sometimes we do make mistakes unknowingly which might have an impact later on when you want to turn your blog into a business. I’ve gathered a list of blogging mistakes to avoid which will hopefully help you out!
Nous pouvons tous être d’accord que nous avons fait un certain nombre d’erreurs au cours de notre voyage sur les blogs et je serai la première personne à l’admettre. Parfois, nous faisons des erreurs sans le savoir, ce qui pourrait avoir un impact plus tard lorsque vous voulez transformer votre blog en une entreprise. J’ai rassemblé une liste d’erreurs de blogs à éviter qui, je l’espère, vous aideront!

NOT DOING RESEARCH
Writing a blog post is more crucial than it seems to be because you want to make sure your content is not only helpful but efficient as well. Sometimes due to a busy schedule, it can be very tempting to write a post without doing enough research.
Obviously when you’re writing about your favourite lipsticks, you don’t have to do an intensive research but when you’re writing about topics that requires a lot more information and details then make sure you do your research first.
Ecrire un article de blog est plus crucial qu’il n’y paraît car vous voulez vous assurer que votre contenu est non seulement utile mais aussi efficace. Parfois, en raison d’un horaire chargé, il peut être très tentant d’écrire un article sans faire suffisamment de recherche.
Évidemment, lorsque vous écrivez sur vos rouges à lèvres préférés, vous n’avez pas à faire une recherche intensive, mais lorsque vous écrivez sur des sujets qui nécessitent beaucoup plus d’informations et de détails, assurez-vous d’abord de faire vos recherches.

DOING LIKE OTHERS
When it comes to blogging, individuality is a trait to look out for and it’s something very important. There isn’t any restrictions in terms of niches, there are literally thousands or even millions of bloggers in the same niche but you’ve to make sure that your content is unique and original.
It’s very easy to fall into the trap and to copy another blogger’s ideas or content thinking if they’re successful doing this type of content then I’ll do the same with mine and that will work, but unfortunately it doesn’t work out that way.
When you start off with a bad step, it will only have a negative impact on your blog. I’m not saying you shouldn’t get inspired by other bloggers’ content but there’s a fine line between inspiration and plagiarism, and it’s very easy to get overboard with it.
Quand il s’agit de bloguer, l’individualité est un trait à surveiller et est quelque chose de très important. Il n’y a aucune restriction en termes de niches, il y a littéralement des milliers ou même des millions de blogueurs dans le même créneau mais vous devez vous assurer que votre contenu est unique et original.
Il est très facile de tomber dans le piège et de copier les idées ou le contenu d’un autre blogueur en pensant que s’ils réussissent ce type de contenu, alors je ferai la même chose avec le mien et cela fonctionnera, mais malheureusement cela ne fonctionne pas comme cela.
Lorsque vous commencez avec un mauvais pas, cela n’aura qu’un impact négatif sur votre blog. Je ne dis pas que vous ne devriez pas vous laisser inspirer par le contenu des autres blogueurs, mais il y a une limite entre l’inspiration et le plagiat, et il est très facile d’en abuser.

PROMOTING THE WRONG WAY
This is something I’m guilty of and still haven’t got the hang of it, you could write the most informative and detailed blog post but if you don’t promote it efficiently then you will not get traffic to your blog post.
There are so many social media platforms available such as Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest. You can use all these platforms mentioned and get traffic from them but you can still use them in a much more efficient way. Most of the times, it’s more than leaving a link to your latest blog post, you’ve to create & implement strategies in order to get people to read your post.
In addition, I think it’s pretty self explanatory but using another blog’s comment section isn’t wise. You might get views if the blog in question gets a lot of traffic but it represents your blog in an unprofessional manner.
C’est quelque chose dont je suis coupable et je n’ai toujours pas compris, vous pourriez écrire le blog le plus informatif et détaillé, mais si vous ne le promouvez pas efficacement, vous n’aurez pas de trafic vers votre blog.
Il y a tellement de plateformes de médias sociaux disponibles comme Instagram, Twitter, Facebook et Pinterest. Vous pouvez utiliser toutes ces plates-formes mentionnées et obtenir du trafic de leur part, mais vous pouvez toujours les utiliser de manière beaucoup plus efficace. La plupart du temps, c’est plus que de laisser un lien vers votre dernier article de blog, vous devez créer et implémenter des stratégies afin que les gens lisent votre message.
En outre, je pense que c’est assez explicite, mais l’utilisation de la section des commentaires d’un autre blog n’est pas sage. Vous pourriez obtenir des vues si le blog en question obtient beaucoup de trafic, mais il représente votre blog d’une manière non professionnelle.

WRITING RANDOMLY
One of the ways to get more traffic to your blog is to post consistently but it can be very difficult if you’re busy with school or life in general. Quality is always over quantity, don’t write and publish a blog post just for the sake of it. Your audience wants to read quality content from you, they’d rather wait and read something useful from you than something that doesn’t help them in any way.
L’un des moyens d’obtenir plus de trafic vers votre blog est de poster régulièrement, mais cela peut être très difficile si vous êtes occupé avec l’école ou la vie en général. La qualité est toujours au-dessus de la quantité, n’écrivez pas et ne publiez pas un article de blog juste pour le plaisir. Votre public veut lire un contenu de qualité, ils préféreraient attendre et lire quelque chose d’utile de votre part plutôt que quelque chose qui ne les aide d’aucune façon.

NOT INTERACTING WITH OTHERS
I always find it ‘weird’ when bloggers don’t interact with their followers because the whole point of blogging is to interact. You can get so much traffic and views just by checking other bloggers’ blog posts and replying to their comments.
Je trouve toujours çela «bizarre» quand les blogueurs n’interagissent pas avec leurs followers parce que le but de bloguer est d’interagir. Vous pouvez obtenir autant de trafic et de vues simplement en vérifiant les billets de blog des autres blogueurs et en répondant à leurs commentaires.

HAVING A NEGATIVE MIND
I don’t think it’s bad to start a blog to earn money from it and to receive free goodies because these are one of the pros of having a blog. However if your intention is purely based on that factor and you don’t like blogging then I think that’s an issue. If you get easily jealous by the opportunities other bloggers receive, I feel you’ve to work more on yourself.
The blogging industry has a tons of opportunities and places for a lot of bloggers but you’ve to work hard to get them. It’s not handed to you on a plate and there’s a lot more happening behind the scenes that people don’t see.
Je ne pense pas que ce soit mauvais de démarrer un blog pour en gagner de l’argent et de recevoir des produits gratuits car ce sont les avantages d’avoir un blog. Cependant, si votre intention est purement basée sur ce facteur et que vous n’aimez pas bloguer, alors je pense que c’est un problème. Si vous êtes facilement jaloux des opportunités que les autres blogueurs reçoivent, je pense que vous devez travailler davantage sur vous-même.
L’industrie du blogging a beaucoup de possibilités et de places pour beaucoup de blogueurs, mais vous devez travailler dur pour les obtenir. Il ne vous est pas remis dans une assiette et il se passe beaucoup plus de choses dans les coulisses que les gens ne voient pas.

EXPECTING
For me, the whole point of blogging was to support other bloggers but this year I’ve realised that you shouldn’t have to support all the bloggers in this industry, it doesn’t matter how many followers they have or how successful they are. It’s all about your personal preferences and others don’t have a say in it.
With that said, I do have a problem when some bloggers don’t acknowledge nor support any bloggers in any type of way but do expect them to interact on their blogs. It doesn’t make any sense, right? There’s nothing wrong with not supporting but you shouldn’t expect anything either, that’s quite unfair.
Pour moi, le but de bloguer était de soutenir d’autres blogueurs mais cette année j’ai réalisé que vous ne devriez pas avoir à supporter tous les blogueurs dans cette industrie, peu importe le nombre de followers qu’ils ont ou leur succès. Tout dépend de vos préférences personnelles et les autres n’y ont pas leur mot à dire.
Cela dit, j’ai un problème lorsque certains blogueurs ne reconnaissent ni ne soutiennent aucun blogueur de quelque manière que ce soit, mais s’attendent à ce qu’ils interagissent sur leurs blogs. Cela n’a aucun sens, n’est-ce pas? Il n’y a rien de mal à ne pas supporter, mais il ne faut pas non plus s’attendre à quelque chose, c’est injuste.

Your last section is so thoughtful. You know, I am like you too. I like to support but over the period of three months I learned a lot of even new bloggers want you to go to there blog and comment but they don’t care for you. It’s doesn’t work that way for too long. I agree with you.
Thank you lovely! 💗
You know you have given me such an idea as you always translate your blog. One of my Pakistani friend said, can you translate it in Urdu. I might should do that but the only thing is it’s very time consuming and I don’t have a key board for that.
That’s a great idea but as you said it’s very time consuming and requires a lot of effort. I have the same issue for French as well! There are certain symbols and letters that are only available in a French keyboard and the one I’m using is an English one. There are times, I make mistakes when translating but I can’t do anything about it.
That’s true. My sister in law can’t speak English and she really wants me to do that but I don’t know yet, how long it will take me. Will see may be in the near future.
It takes a lot of time depending on the length of your blog post but it’s definitely worth it!
Happy Thanksgiving my friend!
Thank you love! ❤️
Great insights! I just started out and have been a hard time trying to gain traffic haha. would love to learn more about it
Thank you!
A lot happens behind the scenes for bloggers to make money… I agree that this is oh so true, and the same goes for the people making money from videos! It sounds so great to make money from a passion, but so much hustle behind it!
Exactly! It’s so much work!
Thank you for the advice! I am just building my own blog, and seem to have notes and checklists everywhere! Your organization post is just as helpful as this one. Finding your blog “voice” is so important, and the confidence to be original is worth the effort in the long run.
My pleasure! Thank you so much 💗 you’re completely right x
