They hamper the traffic of the blog and ultimately because of no progress, people quit blogging. 

So, a brief understanding of those common mistakes can help everyone to enjoy blogging and making money. Today, we gonna have an insight into those mistakes and some tips to avoid them.

#1: Writing too lengthy posts.
Being in a hurry to get adsense approval, most of the newbies write too lengthy posts. Of course such posts are important but there is a lot of difference between "lengthy" and "too lengthy". Lengthy posts are important and also necessary so as to explain the topic clearly to the readers. But many people write posts containing not much info instead stuffed with unwanted junk. 

Quick tip: Observe fellow blogger's posts and practice writing the content only that will be useful for readers.

#2: Taking too long gap between posts.
This results in the loss of engagement with the readers. Most of those bloggers who are students faces this situation. May be it would be difficult, but it's not impossible to manage both studies and blog. If you are really passionate on making money from blog then this would not be that difficult.

Must read: Promote your blog without posting articles.

#3: Publishing off-topics.
Never forget the niche what you have selected. Stick to that niche and publish only the articles related to it. Posting other than such topics can result in loss of engagement and also it brings negative impression on your blog.

Quick tip: There's nothing to do except to keep focus on the particular niche.

#4: Lack of power start in first paragraph.   
The first paragraph of the article itself steers the readers either to close the page or to scroll down. Most of the newbies start off with the topic directly without giving any introduction. Due to lack of juice in the content, readers feel bore and leaves away. 

Quick tip: Research on the topic you are about to write and draw major effects and advantages of the topic. Show the importance of the topic to the readers and force their mind to continue reading.

#5: Going away from conversation. 
This is the biggest mistake that anyone can make. Indeed it will have a serious effect immediately. Never run out of the conversation in the comments section. It is the only place where the writer directly interacts with the readers. If you are writing an article then you are the one responsible to face the questions and answer them so as to make the content more understandable to the readers.

Quick tip: Participate in the conversation and answer to the questions in neat manner. Provide references if necessary. 

#6: Lack of social presence.   
Make yourself exposed to social sites. Be active on them and also make a fan page of your site on facebook, twitter etc., Also have a healthy relation with fellow bloggers and seek their help if necessary. Share the content socially at regular intervals daily. Socail traffic too plays an important role in blog's growth.

Quick tip: All I can say is "Don't Spam". Rest all you know what I mean.

#7: Not using keywords. 
Keywords are very helpful as they play a major role in listing your blog in search engine results. Research on keywords and take a self-test and observe the competition of those keywords. It's difficult for a new blog to rank in high-competitive keywords. 

Quick tip: Use Google keyword planner. Though many new tools are available, it is the traditional one and can help you enough to get ranked.

#8: Selecting bad design.
Here the word I used "bad" doesn't refers to ugly instead it refers to the slow loading template. Yes such templates are bad for blogging. Simple design makes things simple and easy. 

Quick tip: Choose a design in such a way that it has good navigation and free of unwanted widgets.

#9:Copying from other blogs.
All above mistakes may happen without knowledge, but this one cannot. We all know that copying content from other blogs is a very big sin. It in turn damages the brand of the blog and surely destroys the blog. Even google bans such copied content blogs.

#10: No SEO.
SEO is the practice of optimizing the posts for the search engine. This includes both on-page and also off-page. One can gain knowledge in SEO by observing other blogs. SEO is very important for the blog to get ranked in search engines. So do SEO and enjoy the benefits it gives.

Quick tip: Observe other blogs and ask fellow bloggers. Practice SEO and impress the search engines.

I know the list goes on, but as of now these mistakes includes many sub-parts. So, if at all I missed any important point, let me know through the comments section below. Keep visiting and happy blogging...

Today I gonna share them with you and note that these are just for maintaining the blog's traffic and are not meant to increase the traffic even without blogging.

So, here we go... 

• Start sharing the old articles of your blog on your facebook timeline.
• Also post them in the facebook groups and remember don't spam.

• Use Reddit to drive traffic by sharing links. Make sure that you have selected the correct subreddit.
• If you have good relationship with other bloggers  then this can turn out good traffic because if they share the posts of yours then it will reach to the bloggers and this will increase your rankings as most of the bloggers will install alexa toolbar in their browser.

What is Website Flipping?
May be you have heard this word before. But for newbies I gonna define it. Website flipping is the art of buying,selling and improving websites. It has been a profession for many bloggers. They establish a blog,sell it and gets the dollars all the time.Or maybe sometimes they buy a website, improve its performance and then sells it for high amount. Either ways they get benefited, so this website flipping helps many to make money online. So, today I gonna give you a complete guide for making money by selling out the blogs. 

Let's start from the scratch... 

Why Do You Sell a Blog?
There are many reasons to do so. Most of the bloggers decides to sell their blogs because

• they find no time to manage it.
• blog's growth is declining.
• they need money.
• as a part of their business(website flipping).

Okay, now you are about to sell a blog, but what the buyer looks for before he/she buying a blog? Here are the 4 things that a blog should have and they are what the buyer looks for..


Income

The first thing that a blog must possess is the "income". Whenever a blog that is generating income has been listed for selling, most of the buyers rush for that blog. Whether the income may come from selling products, advertising revenue or by offering services, it's the key factor that decides your blog worth. 


Traffic
Higher the traffic, higher the price for the blog. Your blog should have a considerable traffic that can attract the buyers. The bid range depends on the traffic itself. Note that direct traffic plays a vital role than the social traffic.


Growth

Growth refers to the growth of your blog. Is your blog growing or declining or stable? The answer turns out the mind of the buyer. Positive growth results in higher price pay for your blog.


Brand
The brand of your blog indeed reflects the future growth of the blog. A blog with good brand and identity has good chances of selling out with a handsome price.




We have discussed about the reasons for selling the blog and also the key things that buyer looks in a blog.Now, you maybe thinking about how to sell a blog.
Well, there are 2 cases in it.So, let's get into that..

1) Buy a blog, re-build it and then sell it.
In this case, a blog is initially live on the internet, you buy it and after re-building it you will sell it for a higher price.
You must take care of few things before buying a blog. As I said it must possess the above 4 things:- Income, Traffic, Growth, Brand. Apart from them you should analyze few more factors:-

• Alexa rank.
• Unique visits.
• Social media presence.
• Domain name.

Now it's time to Re-build the site. This may take almost 6 months time. You have to focus on your rankings, visitors and content on the blog. This can be done by performing these things:-

• Change the appearance of blog by editing the template or adding a new one.
• Build more number of backlinks.
• Target the keywords and take care of SEO.
• Share it socially.
• Increase the visitors which indeed reflect your earnings.

After re-building the site, sell it. There are various platforms for selling the blog. All of them acts as a mediator between you and the buyer. They receive the commission on the sale. There are many such networks,but the most popular ones are listed below.

• Flippa.com
• Sedo.com
• Namepros.com
• Websitebroker.com
• Digital point forum

2) Develop a blog and then sell it. 
In this case, the blog will be created,developed by yourself. When compared to the above situation, this takes more time. The blog that you develop must satisfy the wants of the buyer. To develop a blog, you have to do the following things:-

• Select the niche where you are best at.  
• Purchase a domain.
• Design the blog attractively. 
• Publish the unique and quality content.
• Do SEO and build backlinks.
• Target the rankings and focus on increasing the traffic to your blog.
• Monetize your blog by adsense or some other alternatives and try to generate income from it. 

This may take upto 8-9 months. Now, after having an established and developed blog in your hands, you can sell it as stated in the first strategy. In either the cases, process of sale is same. But in this case of developing your own blog and selling it, results in earning high amount of money. 

That's it...The complete guide for making money by selling a blog is before you and now you can flip the websites and can become a website flipper. Wish you good luck, keep visiting and happy blogging...:)
