Do NOT Assume that Your Reader Audience Can Also be Your Buyers
Imagine yourself as the viewer. How much trust would you need to put into your favorite blogger to actually invest into their products? The answer is – a lot.
Most people are only going to view you as a blogger for a very long time until your audience has really skyrocketed. Until then, normal viewers are just going to buy a product from a trust-worthy company rather than from an individual blogger who probably can’t completely solve their issues.
Even after your blog skyrockets in metrics, only the most loyal portion of your reader base is likely to buy from you, the rest would still buy a similar product from a company or someone more reliable and experienced.

If your blog annoys people just by looking at it, then is there really something here to discuss? No, just try to fix it.
Do NOT Ignore Your Bounce Rate Statistics

If your bounce rate is high, then that means that it is important to try and lower it down. The ways you can attempt to do this are
- Providing your viewers a way to subscribe to your feed
- Providing a mail subscription.
- Asking to turn on browser site notifications

Do NOT Use a Wide Range of Niches on a Single Blog
You can write about cooking, or you can write about gaming, or you can write about online marketing, or you can write about fashion, or you can write about health, but a single person cannot write about all the topics and expect blog growth.
I was very young when I started blogging, and me being an indecisive yet competent child, made a blog regarding all of my interests. I guess you can assume how that turned out. So I know this better than anyone how it is impossible to create such diverse content alone.
Pick up 1-3 very similar and inter-related niches for a single blog and fully go for it. It should be something that interests you, otherwise, you will lose your motivation, and it should also have market value. For example, you can write about – cooking, health, and fitness as a single blog.
