We came across a blog about, well, blogs and enjoyed reading about 7 Beginner Blogger Blunders and How to Avoid Them. Hey we’re doing pretty good at avoiding blunders, so far. Here is a list of the 7 blunders and how we’re doing:
- Never actually launching it: Okay, we’re good here. However, we’ve been working on launching another blog for a couple of months now. But plan on launching at the end of January. It will be a lot of fun.
- Using a sub-domain (ex: myblog.typepad.com): We’re good here too.
- Spending too much time on design: Okay, we didn’t do so hot here. But, we were learning about how WordPress worked and went through several designs before we settled on this one, which is pretty basic. Our other blog will benefit from what we have learned.
- Not telling anyone about it: We sent an e-mail out. Did you get one? If not, you weren’t on our friends and family list. Our bad. We’ll get better at this.
- Getting discouraged too early: Actually, we’re having fun doing this and not discouraged at all. Now, our upcoming blog will be designed to make money and be interactive, so we’re hoping to create a lot of traffic on that one. Hopefully, we won’t be too discouraged.
- Too many blidgets: Huh? Okay, we don’t have a lot of toys on this site. But our next one will have audio and other fun stuff.
- Monetizing too early: We’re not trying to monetize this blog right now. That’s for the upcoming blog. However, if you would like to purchase a candle or skincare products from us, feel free to do so.
Not bad for newbies. Let us know what you think or if you have any questions. As we learn more, we’ll share what we discover with you.
