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…

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.
