Here are the top 5 common mistakes that new bloggers often make:
1. Diving in (rather than wading in)!
Many bloggers are very anxious to start that they dive in rather than wading in slowly, it is definite a mistake, you should consider something before you start blogging:
A) First, find a focus for your blog. You could choose one focus by thinking what you know, what interests you and what you enjoy. You couldn’t blog out of bounds: politics, religion, science, sexual orientations, comedy, exercise, diet, diseases, etc., you have to choose one focus. Need help?

B) Take the time to read different blogs. note the colors, graphics and theme and get an idea of what appeals to you from it. Also note their blogging style, long-winded or brief, chatty or something.
C) Get a host for your blog. Where To Get Started Your First Blog? There are many free BSP (Blog Service Provider) on the Internet, there are also many charge host there, some are very simple to use and some need more technical knowledge, some have more features than others. If you want to be a successful blogger, I highly recommend you buy a host, because the early you build your independent blog, the early you will gain the success.
2. Unrealistic expectations!
If expect a large readership and many comments just at the beginning, it may disappoint you. Somebody ready did but not everybody, there are millions and millions blogs on the Internet, too many blogs vying for same audience. You should be patient and tenacious on your blog, if you write really well, find a unique niche to fill in, have good tidies for your posts and promote your blog, the readership and comments will come.

3. Losing focus!
Being focus, when you get started your blog you have a particular reason to do so, it it may be expressing your views on a topic or communicating with a close circle of friends about something. Readers come to your blog for the first time whatever are interested in your subject, style or not, if the like your subject and style they might comment and come back in the future. Once you established a topic and tone for your blog, don’t lose focus, or you are basically starting all over, your visitors won’t coming back to your blog.
Remember, every blog have to devote to a particular topic, if you want to talk about another topic, start a more blog.
4. Plagiarizing!
There are some successful bloggers on the Internet, as you visit their blogs you may find one who said something really great, something that resonated with you and something you want to paste in your blog. Don’t do that without credit, don’t think that everything on the Internet is yours. If you want to write about it, write it in your own words, you could add your thoughts and feelings into it, mention where you got this idea and provide the original link.
5. Ignoring the reader!
Some readers may leave comments in your blog, some are praise your insights but most will pick you and criticize you. people often leave comments on blogs to exchange ideas and express their point of view. If someone leave comment in your bog, don’t ignore it, respond his comment and thank him for reading and sharing his idea (even the critics). If you ignore your comments, your readers may not come back to your blog any more.
