VOTE: My Top 5 Most Painful Blogging Mistakes (And How You Can Avoid / Fix Them)

Blogging · July 8, 2018

Are you already making these painful blogging mistakes? How to fix / avoid them.

Hey guys! One of my main goals with Diana Starts is to share what I’ve learned from blogging since 2006. You’d better believe I’ve made some big mistakes over the years. Some of them are basically irreversible. Some of them I’m still fixing today. In the hopes of helping some of you avoid problems I’ve had (and still deal with today), I’ll be sharing my top 5 most painful blogging mistakes (and how you can avoid them). And guess what…

5 Day Blogging Series: My Blogging Mistakes (And How to Avoid / Fix Them)

I’ll be sharing these over the next 5 days in a mini blogging series, running from Monday, July 9, 2018 – Friday, July 13, 2018.

Each day, I’ll share your most requested mistakes. My story. How I fixed it. And how you can avoid (and/or fix) these mistakes on your blog.

Day 1: How I Built Up My Success and Killed It (Over and Over Again)

Day 2: How I Lost Hundreds of Thousands of My Community

Day 3: The Photo Error (I Could Have Easily Fixed) that Messed with My Pinterest Shares (And Hurt My SEO)

Day 4: How I Hurt My Ability to Rank Higher in Google by Not Using This Simple SEO Tool Sooner

Day 5: How Being Cheap with My Theme Cost Me My Time and Energy

Avoid These Mistakes When You Start Your Blog

There’s a reason I wrote my free 7 day email course on how to start a blog the way I did. I want to save you as much stress and heartache as possible by setting you up for success from the start.

Many of my mistakes were made because I had no idea what I was doing when I started blogging in 2006. There wasn’t much information about blogging back then. I fumbled my way through. I learned from my successful blogging friends, attended blog conferences, joined local WordPress meetups, went to every WordCamp I could, and read more online articles than I can remember. And now I’m sharing what I learned here on Diana Starts.

These should be some interesting blog posts. It’s always a little embarrassing to publicly share your failures. But if they can help at least one person, it will be worth it.
