Top 10 Mistakes In Blogging – Part 1/3


Hey guys, I am back. I still have 7 more days to complete my tiring reservist :P Just managed to catch some rest and decided to write up a post on the top 10 things you should avoid in blogging. I think this article will help lots of bloggers who are reading my blog and will benefit from this article :)
I have helped thousands of bloggers around the world to blog more effectively and I can say that there are tons and tons of mistake made by lots of people. So I am going to share with you based on what I have seen so far by all my customers and subscribers, the top 10 mistakes to avoid in blogging.
1. Avoid Black or Dark Backgrounds
Time and time again, I have seen many new bloggers when it comes to selecting a theme. They decide to select a theme that has a dark background or the text are displayed on a black or dark background.
The recommended color for a background is always a light color or white. The reason why this is so is because, many readers who view a dark background website would associate it with a hacker’s website or something that is not nice.
2. Always Space Evenly Your Article Post With Paragraphs
This may sound time to many, but I see it all the time. Where bloggers post up articles on their blog forgot to leave paragraph spacing for their articles. Let me show you an example the before and after effect:
Here’s an article without paragraph spacing
How Can Joint Ventures Build Your Business?
For instance, you got know a new person called Mr.X with 10,000 email database. You decided to work with him to do a cross promotion, he promote his database to your product and you promote his product. When this happens, both parties not only makes money but also increases the amount of subscribers database each person have :) That is exactly how those big gurus make millions of dollars in a few hours with JVs with more then 100,000 list it’s impossible not to make any $$$ :PWell my time is short, I like to share more about how you can go about to find these JV partners and how you can craft the email to invite them. If you like to find out more, I will need to see you comment on the post below what you like to know more and just hit me with a reply “yes I want to know more!” :)

You will noticed instantly the major different when you have spaces in between your articles as it will make the article be read more easily. The recommend space is to give one paragraph space every 4 sentences.
3. No Affiliate Programs Or Products Been Sold On The Blog
This is kind of a weird thing and simple thing to say but I have seen many bloggers who blog online that are trying real hard to make money online but when I see their blog. They lack of even promoting a single product on their blog.
Here’s the thing, if you do not post up products you like to promote you will never make a sale online and you will never earn money online :P So if you have yet to post any affiliate links till now, I would highly recommend you go to Clickbank and sign up for a free affilaite account and start selling products on your blog.
I am going to stop here and post the next part of article in the next post :) Mean while, you can find out what I am doing now by following my Twitter here.

I totally agree with you about the black background! Another thing that irritates me is small font size & wastage of space in certain templates!!

But I will shut my mouth and let you dish out the rest of the mistakes!!!
