Whether you are old hat at blogging or brand new to the world, there are certain things that you will want to make sure that you don’t fall victim to. A few simple blogging mistakes can turn an otherwise stellar content marketing strategy into an embarrassing, sticky mess. Thankfully, these missteps are easy to avoid when you know exactly what you shouldn’t be doing. At the end of the day, avoiding blogging mistakes only addresses one part of an effective content marketing strategy and a successful business. Below, Top Advertising Solutions has a list of three main things to avoid on your blog.

Messy Mistakes

• These are the biggest and most unforgiveable mistakes. They signify a lack of attention of detail, sloppy work and put off prospective customers. It drives people away. We here at Top Advertising Solutions know that an extra ten minutes looking at your content and making edits is one of the most profitable ten minutes you can take.
• No pictures. A blog without images is like a video without sound. While an image might not always be necessary to convey the heart of your article, it can make the experience a lot more enjoyable and much more interesting. Inserting images into your blog will hold your audience’s attention for longer, add value to the content, and increase your chance of converting the reader into a lead.
• Too long. Unless someone is a hard-core fan of your content then they probably aren’t going to read your entire thousand plus word blog. Writing unnecessarily long posts is a common blogging mistake, as writers confuse quality with quantity. Keep it short and sweet to around 500 words and you’ll be flying. Your reader’s time is valuable, and they’ll appreciate it being treated as such.
