Choose a free hosting service for blog –

Writing on any and every subject –
Sometimes, bloggers write about anything though not related to the niche of their blog. Such blogs that are based on different subjects are generally not liked by regular visitors.

Hi,
Amit
Yes you are absolutely right Choose a free hosting service for blog is mark a bad impression on blog and Duplicate content leads the blogging in wrong direction.
Thanks
good article as always amit…i really liked the 1st and 2nd point…choosing blogger or other such free blogging platforms has its own disadvantages, not to mention the termination of any account whenever they like!!
i also agree sticking to our niche topics to blog, blogging about something else will unnecessarily lose subscribers…i have noticed many blogs who do like this but i keep it targeted to my keywords! 🙂
hello Amit sir, nice post i also use to do all these mentioned things but as a new blogger learns new things they start working like a old blogger
Hello Amit,
Some newbies fail in blogging because they are not passionate about blogging and they don’t know what they are doing.
Few others blog for money and fail when they don’t see money rolling in! A great post!!
Thnk you!
You have listed the exact mistakes of newbie bloggers. Also, some bloggers avoid these points, but they lack patience. Blogging is all about patience and wait! Most newbie bloggers lack it and find themselves nowhere!
Yeah Bro…. I too use to do the same above mistakes when I entered in the field of Blogging. But due to guidance of many of my bloggers friend I am on the way and trying to improve myself.
I got every point you said.. it is difficult to write regularly fresh contents if your blog has limited topic, that is why most of the blogger become fail and leave their blogging hobby or work whatever else . So they start writing on different topic which is also not fair. In such condition blogger should stick on particular topic and add another categories/topic gradually with the help of another person who can write for him/her. BTW according to present situation to make money from blogging we should start blog with a team work not alone that will help to balance different topic with rich contents..
I agree copying don’t work at all and also Google doesn’t approve Adsense for the bloggers who copies all the content.But i don’t know why you have written posting without picture since you have not used picture in the article :D. There is only one picture and i think this is the featured image.
The major mistake that most of the newbies commits after getting entered into blogging is that instead of learning basics of blogging and other important things,they try to focus on making money from their blogs and tries to post duplicated content. Due to this reason, they are’t able to generate money from their blog and their blog penalized by Google which results less blog traffic and then most of these bloggers due to such things leaves the blogging. BTW informative guide on the five major mistakes of newbie bloggers.
