Some common mistakes committed by new bloggers are:

Poor user experience

Slow-loading website, etc.

The interface is the overall look of the website. You need to improve the aesthetic value of your website to improve the interface. Use colors and themes that give better look to your website. Use plugins and add-ons to improve your website look.

Visitors will have a poor experience on your site when they cannot find pages and posts easily because you do not have an easy navigation menu on your site. You need easy to navigate menu. Your menu should show important pages on your website such as Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Contact, and About Us. Your posts should be categorized according to topics and should be easily found via menu.

You can use images and graphics to make your post look appealing, however, you also need avoid using too many images, embedded videos, flashy banners, etc. Too many media will increase your page size and thus decrease your page loading speed.

Slow site loading is always as a result of improper programming. But that's not a problem because a good programmer and web developer will be able to design your website perfectly in a way that there will not be any problem even when if you have a huge number of visitors at a particular period of time.

One of the ways you can make your blocking platform to be actively visited by people is to post quality content . Copying of other people contents to post on your platform is not the best way because it will bring down the quality of your platform thereby reducing traffic and also reducing the possibility of your platform appearing in the first Page on Google search engine.

Anyone that is interested to run a website must dedicate some of his or her time to read and understand what blogging is all about . .

A lot of people have this wrong notion that blogging is an easy work. However, not many people realize that blogging requires professional skills in different areas. IN order to become a successful blogger, you need to be website designer. Well, you don't require programming skills but you at least need to know how to build a wordpress site and how to customize the site in a way that it attracts visitors and also ranks on the search engine. Blogging means publishing articles on a website, therefore, this is essential skill required for a blogger. You might hire someone to write on your blog but it is not possible for a long term. Your whole idea behind blogging will become a complete wastage of you do not have readers on your blog. You can bring readers on your blog only when you have SEO and digital marketing skills. Most of the mistakes are related to these areas
