Do you want a step-by-step guide on how to start a blog and make money?
Are you an amateur blogger who wants to know how to do this amateur blogging correctly.?
you are at the right place!
What is amateur blogging?
The word amateur means beginner.
Amateur blogging is nothing but the beginning part of blogging. Every pro blogger who is currently going great once they were an amateur blogger
Who are amateur bloggers?
A blogger who started blogging without prior experience is known as an amateur blogger. Once you get hands-on, at any point in your blogging journey, you can change your amateur blog into a money-making blog.
14 Most Common Mistakes of amateur bloggers
It is common for amateur bloggers to make many mistakes at the initial stage.
During the initial blogging journey, I made many mistakes and burnout.
You can save your time and potential by avoiding these mistakes.
Let me share with you 13 amateur bloggers’ mistakes I wish I had known earlier.
Mistake#1 Not Choosing The Right Niche
The most common blogging mistake of amateur bloggers is not choosing the right niche.
They choose multiple niches or broad niches like food recipes or weight loss. I am not saying it’s wrong. But being an amateur blogger, it will take a lot of work to compete and rank for that keywords. It takes lots of effort and years to rank for that keywords.
I suggest you narrow down to a micro niche like vegan or sugar-free recipes.
You may get less traffic than that broad niche, but it will be easy to rank to those keywords.
It brings your target audience, makes you an expert in that topic, and creates a bond between you and your readers.
Mistake#2 Using a Free Blogging Platform
It’s another common blogging mistake of amateur bloggers.
Most amateur bloggers refrain from investing in hosting and domain.
They feel it is pointless to invest in hosting and domain. So they prefer free blogging platforms.
According to them, the free blogging platform is enough to start blogging for hobbies or fun.
There are many disadvantages to choosing a free blogging platform.
One of them is you don’t have complete control over your blog. For example, you can’t sell ads or profit from your blog.
Additionally, your domain name is your brand and identity. But, in free hosting platforms, your domain names come with an extension of that blogging platform, like “abc.wordpress.com.”
The features and design elements you can implement on your blog are limited.
The most important thing is Google and other search engines prefer self-hosted blogs.
After all, I bet you won’t build your own company on someone’s land. No! Right? The same goes for your blog.
I suggest using a self-hosted blog instead Wix.com, Blogger, WordPress.com, etc., even if you want to start a blog just for fun.
Because you are still determining what happens after three years, you might enjoy blogging more and turn it into a business.
So invest a little to buy a domain and hosting.
Mistake#3 Not Being Consistent
Consistency is one of the critical factors to becoming a successful blogger.
You must maintain consistency in your blog post schedule, social media posts, blog promotion, etc.
Writing five blog posts in the first week and not posting anything for the next two weeks won’t work in blogging.
Set a realistic goal if you can write only one quality article a week. Then it’s completely o. Start writing one quality article each week.
Once you are comfortable in writing, increase your frequency.
Be consistent. Maintain a proper schedule for blog posts, social media posts, etc.
Mistake#4 Giving Up When It Gets Hard
A statistic says around 60% of blogs don’t make it beyond the first year.
Guess why?
Many amateur bloggers fail because they start with high eagerness, then face burnout and quit.
One side of blogging is fun. But on the other side, it is super hard. It requires so much effort and confidence to become a successful blogger.
You may face many hurdles like the change of algorithms, spammy backlinks, etc.
You may see little success after spending several months on your blog.
It may bring your morale down, usually when most bloggers give up and quit the blogging journey.
So be patient. The only key to becoming a successful blogger is to work consistently without giving up.
Remember, Rome was not built in a day!
Today’s most successful bloggers are those who cross all the hurdles without giving up.
Mistake#5 Comparing Yourself To Others
Many amateur bloggers compare themselves with other bloggers and big influencers.
This comparison may give them the motivation to achieve big like them. But if you constantly compare yourself with others will discourage you and make you stressful.
Never compare your first page with another’s 70th page.
Many successful bloggers of today were also started like you only. If you work hard and focus on your goal, you can undoubtedly reach heights.
Mistake#6 Using Other People’s Content
You have heard the word called plagiarism. Plagiarism is copying others’ content, ideas, words, or work and pretending they are your own.
Many amateur bloggers copy content from other blogs knowingly or unknowingly.
It is ok to be inspired and desire to create something better than other bloggers’ content.
But your content should be your own. It is your identity.
So never, never copy others’ content. Otherwise, you will lose respect. Additionally, it is unethical, and you will eventually be penalized for plagiarism.
Mistake#7 Not Investing
Many amateur bloggers prefer to use free resources like free blogging platforms, free themes, etc.
Even I did the same eight years ago in my first blog. I didn’t spend money on anything except hosting and domain.
I used free themes and free resources that are readily available. I thought it was unnecessary to spend money on these things.
But later, I realized my mistake.
If you are serious about blogging, treat it as a business. Any business needs an investment. The same goes for blogging.
Invest in a good theme and keyword research tool. You can also invest your money in a course or books related to blogging. This investment saves you a lot of time and makes your journey easier.
If your budget is tight, start with self-hosting and domain. You can purchase the rest of the things later.
Mistake#8 Not Starting an Email List
Your email list is your biggest asset. You may hear the phrase “money is on your list.”
That is true!!
You may have a million followers on your social media like Facebook and Instagram. But you don’t have control over there.
If your social media account or website is hacked, you cannot connect with your followers.
But you own your email list. You have complete control over your list.
If you get shut out of your social media and lose followers, you can email your audience and ask them to follow your new account.
An email list is a great way to connect with your subscribers.
People who subscribed are the ones who loved your blog and valued your work most.
You can notify subscribers about your new blog post using your email list before it ranks on SERP.
Also, it is easy to let your audience know about your new products or services.
Most of the time, they are the first to buy your products or your recommended ones.
Moreover, setting up an email list is simple. You can use any email marketing tool like convertkit to place a simple form on your blog to collect emails from your audience.
So it’s worth considering building email lists from the early stages of your blog.
Mistake#9 Not Promoting Your Blog
Many amateur bloggers fail to promote their blogs by saying, “I don’t have enough blog posts,” “My blog design needs to be improved,” etc.
But this will affect the growth of your blog. So don’t wait for the right time. Start promoting your blog and let the world knows about it.
Mistake#10 Focusing on Monetization too Early
Monetization is an essential part of blogging. But don’t focus on that in the beginning.
As an amateur blogger, your primary goal should be building your audience by offering them valuable content.
Remember, your monetization depends on traffic. Once you get enough traffic, you can monetize your blog effectively.
Moreover, monetizing too early may harm your reputation and credibility with your audience.
So first, focus on providing value and building trust with your audience; you can monetize your blog more effectively later on.
Mistake#11 All things at once
Most amateur bloggers try to focus on many, many things at once.
They focus on multiple platforms, like Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, etc, to get traffic.
Never do all things at once. If you focus on multiple platforms, then you don’t understand what works and what does not.
Focus on one or two platforms and master them. Check whether it works for you. If not, try another.
Some amateur bloggers may struggle to manage blog posts and social media content. It is ok to focus on your blog content initially. Once you get hold of it, then focus on social media.
Mistake#12 Ignoring SEO
SEO is a crucial part of blogging. SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. It helps to improve your visibility online and increases your blog traffic.
SEO-optimized posts get discovered on search engines like Google, Bing, and others.
Many amateur bloggers ignore SEO at the initial stage. Never make that mistake.
Start writing SEO-optimized content from day one so that you don’t need to bear the pain of going back and editing 100 blog posts later.
At least learns the basics of SEO. There are lots of courses and videos available. It will help you go a long way.
Mistake#13 Purchasing Backlinks
There is no doubt that backlinks are the backbone to rank on SERP. But it is equally important how and from where you are getting it.
Many amateur bloggers buy backlinks to improve their rank in SERP. But that will harm your blog to a large extent.
Buying backlinks is against Google’s webmaster guidelines. Your blog may be penalized or even removed from search results if detected.
Additionally, you don’t have control over these backlinks when you buy it.
You may get backlinks from irrelevant niches, low-quality or spammy. These kinds of backlinks will harm your blog’s reputation and rankings.
So don’t fall into this trap.
Mistake#14 Focusing on Site Design Over Content
Most amateur bloggers spend most of their time designing their blogs. I agree that the look and feel are necessary for a blog. But high-quality content is essential.
Being a reader, if I had to choose between a nicely designed blog with ten high-quality posts and a normally designed blog with 100 high-quality posts, I’d choose the latter every time!
Because the design of the blog may give me a nice appealing visual, but the content comes first.
Moreover, It is much easier to improve your blog design after creating a ton of content. So first, focus on the content of your blog.
In this guide, I have covered every blogging topic, from basics to advanced, will be covered right from choosing your blogging niche.
Dont, worry! you don’t need any technical knowledge. Basic computer skills are more than enough to start a blog that makes money.
This step-by-step guide will help you to understand each and every phase of blogging. It is very simple and easy to understand for beginners.

2. Set Up Your Blog
To get your blog on live you need three things. They are,
- Domain Name
- Blogging Platform or Blogging Software
- Web Hosting
What is a domain name?
A domain name is a unique name that refers to the address of your blog. This is the name that users type in their browser’s search bar to reach your blog.
For example, The domain name for this website is turnallstnes.com
What is a blogging platform?
A blogging platform or blogging software is a place where you create your blog. There are many blogging platforms available. Some of the popular blogging platforms are WordPress, blogger, etc.
WordPress is the most popular user-friendly blogging platform. I strongly suggest you start with WordPress. Because it is popular, customizable, and easiest to use.
What is a Web host?
A web host is a service given by a web hosting provider to store and maintains all the files of your blog on web servers. By doing so, your blog will be accessible on the internet for the user.
Usually, the blogging software and hosting are packed together to make the process simple.
In this guide, I will be showing you how to build a blog using WordPress blogging software.
I personally use BlueHost and I recommend it for all new bloggers.
Bluehost account comes with everything you need to set up your blog. It includes a free domain name for one year, web hosting, easy WordPress installation, and a custom email address.
Now let’s see how to set up your blog using BlueHost.

If you want to create your domain later then click I will create my domain later and proceed to the next step.

For the package plan, I would suggest you go for 36 months. Because all hosting plans will be renewed at the regular rate. So choosing the long-term package, in the beginning, can save you a few bucks.
Next, you can select or deselect extra packages as per your need. It’s completely optional and up to you to select the packages. However, I would suggest you deselect all extra packages other than domain privacy and proceed to payment.
Domain privacy helps to hide your personal information like name, phone, email, and address from the public database of registered domain owners. Remember, you can also add these addons later according to your need.
6. Once payment is done, you have to create your Bluehost account and password.
7. Now you will be redirected to an installation helper page. Here you can just click “Skip this step” on the next few pages to be taken directly to the dashboard.

Everyone has a different opinion about the look of their blog. The best part of WordPress is, you can change the design of your blog with just a few clicks.

1. Give a powerful heading
Start with a powerful heading that gets clicks. Use relevant headings and subheadings wherever it is needed.
There are six heading tags (H1,H2,H3,H4,H5,H6) to use.
You should always start with H1. Also, you can use the H1 tag only one time in your post. Meanwhile, you can use h2-h6 tags any number of times.
It’s not necessary to use all tags but make sure to follow the heading hierarchy.
2. Make use of the first paragraph
The first paragraph of your content is very important. It should clearly define the content of your post and encourage the reader to continue reading.
3. Write Original Content
No matter what, never copy content from other websites. You should write your content. You can take ideas from other blogs but the content should be your own.
Your content should be simple, easy to understand, and well-organized.
4. Write Engaging content
Your blog post should help your readers in one or the other way. You should write content in an engaging way. At the end of the post ask any significant question to your audience and ask them to reply in the comments. This will help to engage your audience. Always reply to the comments of your readers.
5. Write for your readers
Write content for your readers instead of search engines. Don’t stuff keywords in your content. Use it naturally.
7. Use Short Paragraphs
Don’t write lengthy content. Keep your paragraphs short. Use lists, images, headings, subheadings, and videos to explain it better. Use proper spacing and highlight the important points.
8. Categorize Your Blog Post
It is important to categorize your content for better understanding. You can assign one or more categories to your content.
By default, the category is “uncategorized”.You have an option in your right menu to select the category for your article. It shows all the available categories.
You can also add a new category either by clicking “Add New Category” from your right menu or by clicking “Categories->Add New Category” from your left-side menu.
Just type the category name. If it is a subcategory, then select the parent category, or else leave that option.
The parent category is nothing but the main category.
For example, if I have a few articles about Ford Cars then I can assign all my “Ford ” articles to a category called “Ford” and can select cars as a parent category.
9. Add Featured Image
You can add a featured image if you want. You can do it from your right menu.
10. Edit your content before publishing
Check for typographical and grammatical errors before publishing your content. It makes your blog unprofessional.
You can use Grammarly to edit your content.
Points To Remember
Engage with Your Readers
Engaging with your readers is an important part of your blogging journey. When your readers leave comments on your posts, always respond to them.
Reply to their comments and questions, and give them affirmations make them trust your blog and give them comfort that you are there to help them. It makes your readers naturally encouraged to return.
Post Regularly
Be consistent and write quality content. Quality is more important than quantity.
If you can publish only one post in a week then it is completely fine. But make sure you do it each week.
The biggest mistake new bloggers make is they post content frequently during the initial days and then they won’t post for the next one or two months.
Never do that.
If you can’t post content on a daily basis then it is completely ok. but maintain a proper schedule.
8. Create your lead magnet
This is one of the most important steps for any blog.
What is a lead magnet?
A lead magnet is a freebie that you are offering to your readers in exchange for their email addresses.
basically, it will be like they have to enter their email id in a form to get the freebie. This lead magnet can be anything like a planner, case studies, guides, etc.
But why do you need a lead magnet?
You need a lead magnet because nobody is going to give you their email address without a valid reason.
I would suggest you launch your blog with an attractive lead magnet to which your reader can’t say no!
Why do you need their email id?
Email ids are your assets. This is the way you can easily communicate with your readers. You can share your latest post, launch new products, etc
9. Signup For Email Marketing
First things first,
what is email marketing?
Email marketing is a platform that helps to send commercial emails to your subscribers from whom you have received email addresses by using the opt-in form.
There are so many email marketing platforms available. You can go through their plans and sign up.

Blogging FAQ’S
How much does it cost to start a blog?
To be frank, you can start a blog without spending money.
You can easily get a subdomain from one of the free blogging websites like Blogspot, Blogger, etc.
But keep in mind, that is not the best way to start a blog.
If you are serious about blogging, be ready to spend some dollars.
Like any other business blogging also requires some investments like hosting, domain name, premium themes, email marketing, keyword research tools, marketing, etc.
However, it is not necessary to purchase everything in the beginning. Spending some money for a good hosting and domain name is enough for a good start.
There are many hosting companies available. I recommend Bluehost for beginners.
How do I find a profitable niche for my blog?
In blogging, you can choose any niche under the sky if you have a passion for that topic.
It is always better to choose a micro-niche for better results.
What is a micro-niche?
A micro niche is a smaller segment of a niche.
For example, if you want to start a blog about weight loss, then you will be with a million recipe blogs to rank in search engines.
You can choose a micro niche like weight loss for new moms will reduce the competition and brings you the most targeted traffic.
Making the topic of your blog more specific will help to eliminate a lot of competition and boost your rankings in search engines.

How often should I blog?
If you are blogging for passion, then you can blog at your convenience. But if your goal is to get traffic and make money from your blog then you have to stick to a schedule.
However, it is not required to post articles on a daily basis. Keep a schedule of three days per week or one day per week and stick to it.
I would suggest you blog at least once a week. Like any other thing, the more you do it – the more proficient you become.
This will help you to get more traffic and makes you an expert in your field.
But keep in mind that the quality of your content is more important than the quantity.
Even if you can write one quality article per week then that is more than enough. But be consistent.
How do I name my blog?
There is no thumb rule to name your blog. Most of the time it depends on your niche.
If your blog is all about you and your life experiences and you don’t have any idea to sell your blog in the future, then it is a good idea to name your blog by your name.
In the case of a micro-niche blog, you can also use your target keyword or related keywords as your blog name.
You can also frame small sentences to name your blog.
For example:
bookmyshow.com
shoutmeloud.com
Use the thesaurus to find words. Combine two-three words or create a new word by yourself.
Make use of the blog name generator if you wish. Keep playing with words until you come up with a name you like!
I have written a detailed post on how to come up with a blog name. Check if you are interested.
How do bloggers get paid?
Bloggers get paid by using one or more strategies like advertisements, Adsense, affiliate marketing, selling physical or digital products, brand sponsorships, services, memberships, subscriptions, online courses, sponsored content, etc.
Most bloggers use affiliate marketing and advertisement to get paid.
Do bloggers get paid for views?
Yes, bloggers get paid for views if they have ads on their blogs. Usually, they get paid on the basis of the number of views.
Do blogs still make money in 2023?
Yes. you can make use of one or many ways to monetize your blog and make either part-time or full-time income from your blog. But it takes lots of effort and patience.
