You&#8217;re Overly Self-Promotional<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Talking only about yourself, your products, and your services quickly turns into noise. Find out what your readers truly want to consume and then write it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will increase the time they spend on your website and ultimately lead to higher micro- and macro-conversions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Key Takeaway: Create content to inform, educate, entertain, and add value. Nobody loves reading a marketing pitch.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-2-you-re-aiming-low\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Youre_Aiming_Low\"><\/span><strong>2.

You&#8217;re Too Afraid of Failure<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The path to success is never smooth. You have to confront your fears, experience failure, take risks, and approach things with a trial and error mindset, only then will you get the chance to write your own success story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Key takeaway: Don\u2019t be afraid of failure. Always be experimenting.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-4-you-don-t-have-a-sourcing-plan\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_You_Dont_Have_a_Sourcing_Plan\"><\/span><strong>4. You Don&#8217;t Have a Sourcing Plan<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the things you will soon realize as a blogger is how difficult it is to source good quality content. Most bloggers either don\u2019t know how to source it or they just don\u2019t try hard enough. Mediocre content will not help your blog. And you can&#8217;t do everything on your own. Have a guest posting policy and form syndication agreements with other blogs and publications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Key takeaway: Try your best to source good quality content.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-5-your-efforts-are-lopsided\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Your_Efforts_Are_Lopsided\"><\/span><strong>5. Your Efforts Are Lopsided<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The two major steps involved in marketing content, <em>i.e.<\/em>, creation and distribution, should be given an equal amount of planning and effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doesn&#8217;t matter if you&#8217;re creating great content if you don&#8217;t know how to distribute and promote it well, similarly, badly produced content doesn&#8217;t stand a chance, no matter how good your promotional skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Key Takeaway: Make a proper blueprint for creating and distributing content and follow it.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-6-your-cta-is-not-clear\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Your_CTA_is_Not_Clear\"><\/span><strong>6. Your CTA is Not Clear<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A proper call-to-action is necessary to get readers to take action. With a clear call-to-action, you can get your visitors to sign up for newsletters and webinars or download an e-book and, in turn, capture their email address and contact details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also direct them to a product page for conversion. Once a visitor shows interest in your site, it is imperative to target and retain that visitor through a proper call to action strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Key takeaway: If there is no CTA, your content is not going to benefit you.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-7-you-re-trying-to-do-too-much\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Youre_Trying_to_Do_Too_Much\"><\/span><strong>7.

But you&#8217;re going nowhere on either one of them. Does this sound like you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to simplify your content strategy and focus on one channel until you master it first. Once you do, you can move on to the other ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Key takeaway:&nbsp;Pick one medium and&nbsp;gain mastery over it first.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-8-you-re-not-targeting-a-niche\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Youre_Not_Targeting_a_Niche\"><\/span><strong>8.

Be the fitness blogger who exclusively talks about exercises that can be performed quickly at the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your content should be informative and should contain solutions for the issues that people usually confront within your identified niche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Key Takeaway: While creating content, keep your niche in mind.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-9-you-re-not-publishing-consistently\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Youre_Not_Publishing_Consistently\"><\/span><strong>9.

People usually only follow and read active blogs.
