9 Stupid Mistakes Most New Bloggers Make

Blogging Sucks.
WaitâŠlet me rephrase.
Blogging sucks until youâve figured out how you should be doing it if you want to make money.
But while youâre figuring it out, youâll obsess about what all the âblogging is greatâ fuss is all about.
When I started blogging, I literally felt like I might as well have been learning to fly a plane. I didnât know ANYTHING. But if Iâm going to be completely honest, I wasnât thinking about making money with my first blog.
I wrote for the simple sake of the fact that I enjoy writing. I especially enjoy writing when it just flows.
You know what I mean?
When Iâm writing something that I actually like and know a lot about, it comes easy. But when writing about a particular topic makes typing each word feel like a tooth extraction, itâs not as much fun anymore.
I happen to like writing about blogging (duh). But because I have so many blogs (six or sevenâŠIâve lost count), I can honestly tell you that Iâve made some dumb ass mistakes on the way to blog #7.
