For you to be successful blogger you will need to look into people's interest and connect it will your interest and create an articles that people will want to read. If your article is not of people's interest, your article will have no or very few views.

2. Not doing enough research. To write an article to your blog, reasarh must be made. You just don't write articles from your mind. If you want to write about " how to open a verified PayPal account " you will need to do research on how it is done. Then will you be able to write the article on that. If your research is not enough and you write article that is teaching people on how to create a verified PayPal account is wrong. This will leads to visitors not coming back to your blog.

3. Neglecting SEO. Forgetting about death engines is another mistake to avoid in other to promote you article. In your post always remember to include SEO in your post like using the right keywords, meta tags, title and sub titles.

Your points is well outlined when it comes to the mistakes a blogger should avoid in order to win over visitors and generate lots of traffic to make his or her blog site successful in the future. We shouldn't just write articles without proper research in order to gather quality information to make the article worthwhile. Always proof read before sending out, as published article in our blog.

Number one is on point. Bloggers need to give people what they want and not what the bloggers want. When you write your articles. Try to check the comments section to see people reactions and opinion to every article. This will allow the bloggers to know what the people really want. The moment you try to force them to like your content, the moment you are losing them.

I hope bloggers that needs these information get to read them, so that it will help them to become great bloggers. Writing valuable content and what would interest people is what matter. People would only repeat a site with great content. So blogging on things that will interest users will be awesome

You of course have listed very cogent things that must be taken into consideration as far as becoming a successful blogger in concerned.
To add to the solid facts mentioned already it is very important that a blogger avoids the act of plagiarism. Plagiarism as we all know deals with taking up the work of another person and labelling it as yours. Like, you see an article and decide to just copy the whole if it or may be some considerable part of it and at the end you write that the article was published by you. That is plagiarism and is very detrimental. Infact not just detrimental it is punishable by the law. You may not just end up losing your blog or job you may also be prosecuted for the act and this stresses the need why any blogger on his road and way to success must be able to create contents by himself and not copy other people's work of art. This starts by careful study and building your creative ability. The brain as we have it can contain terabytes of information and so whatsoever you have to learn, learn it! The brain can sure keep it and this will help you grow as you publish quality contents in your blog.

As a blogger, you’ve probably accumulated a lot of knowledge on your craft, and it may seem like there’s nothing left to learn. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, when it comes to blogging, there are many mistakes that can be made that can make or break your success as a blogger.

It goes without saying that the main function of any blog is to get you traffic, especially if you are starting out. However, there are a lot of common mistakes that are made on blogs that cause them to have very little impact or no impact at all.

There are four key mistakes in particular I want to call out for you in addition to yours :
1) not developing a blog and content strategy early on;
2) under-promoting your blog content; 3) over-promoting yourself; and
4) not paying close attention to metrics and analytics .

Indeed, you have provided important mistakes that you can improve blogging activities with.
I would also like to add a couple more important mistakes to keep in mind in blogging.
1. Not having a schedule for content release. Regularly appearing content will increase audience engagement and interest in the content.
2. Unattractive blog design or lack of design. Discussion is an indicator of the blogger's interest in his activity and attention to his audience.
Lack of discussion with the audience in the comments.
4. Not using social media to spread your blog. Informing others will help in building an audience.
5. The expectation of quick profits from blogging. Blogging requires a lot of time and effort.

Blogging is a nice business that so many people are using to generate thousands of dollars on monthly basis for themselves . But at the same time so many people find it very difficult to engage in the business profitably because they may not really understand how to go about the business in a way that can help them generate profit..

As the poster has said , one of the best way you can engage in blogging profitably is just to write things that interest people. you have to look for a niche you believe that people will be so much attracted to read and focus your time to create high quality article. From there you may have opportunity to make money through Google adsense monetization..

But at the same time making money this way may not be a get rich quick scheme, in it is something that requires dedication and overall willingness to succeed.
