3 Mistakes I Made When I Started Blogging on Blogger (And How You Can Avoid Them)


3 Mistakes I Made When I Started My Blog IBB442 - Please Don't Repeat Them

When I started IBB442, I thought blogging was just to write and money will come.

Omo, I failed many times. No visitors. No clicks. I almost deleted my blog.

Today I will tell you 3 mistakes I made so you will not waste time like me.

Mistake 1: I Was Copying Other People's Posts

In the beginning, I used to copy from big blogs and paste on my own blog. I thought Google will not know.

But Google knew. My blog never showed in search. Zero traffic for weeks.

What I do now: I write my own real story. Like how I made $10 with my phone, how I got 19 visitors in 7 days. That real story is what brought people from Lagos and Abuja.

Mistake 2: I Did Not Check Google Analytics

For months I was posting blindly. I did not know who is reading, where they come from.

When I added Google Analytics, everything changed. I saw Lagos gave me 9 visitors, Abuja 6. Now I know where to focus.

If you have a blog, go to analytics.google.com today and connect your blog. It is free and it will show you real proof like this screenshot.

Mistake 3: I Wanted Laptop Before I Start

I was waiting. I said until I buy laptop I will not start blogging.

That waiting wasted 4 months. Later I used my Tecno phone and I started seeing results.

You don't need laptop to start. My 3 posts this week, I wrote all with phone in Kaduna. No laptop.

My Advice For You If You Want To Start Today

Start with your phone today - open blogger.com
Write your own experience - 400 words is enough
Add analytics from day one

I made these mistakes so you don't have to.

If you are reading this from Kaduna, Lagos or Abuja, comment your city - I want to know where my readers are.

Tomorrow I will post how I plan to apply for Google AdSense with IBB442.

    Mistake lists from people actually doing it beat generic advice every time. The consistency one is the silent killer — most blogs don't fail from bad posts, they fail from the three-month gap where life got busy. Writing ahead during motivated weeks is what carried me through the dry ones.
