Here are the top reasons you’re going to fail at blogging,

Here's my list, I hope you enjoy!

1. You don't love what you do
2. You have far too many ads
3. You content lacks creativity
4. Your blog schedule is inconsistent and irregular
5. Your blog loads extremely slow due to third party apps or plugins
6. Your content lacks quality and market research
7. You provide no social sharing buttons such as twitter, facebook, google plus and blogengage
8. You haven’t been marketing or promoting
9. No SEO work in regarding to titles and content "Basic SEO stuff"
10. You have no will and only wanted to make money not a blog.

What do you think? Have you enjoyed the list? What else would you add?

 

Some (usually linked to a business site) don't even allow comments, their blog will never be popular.

 

Firmly believe this. If you want to truly succeed you need to love what you do!

 

One more:

11. No RSS, no email list. People are busy are heck, you need to REMIND them to come back.

 

Nice that's a great one. Many people forget about the importance of an rss feed.

 

Only two things matter in blogging in my opinion. Content and traffic.

 

Blogging is a risky job if you don't know how to do it.
I use my blog as a portfolio now, and it's a good reason to update it

 

Good list. A really good wake-up call!

 

These are obviously very good list. I want to add one thing that may be you are not interacting with your visitors. If they any comments then it is your responsibility to reply him back. That will encourage the visitor to come back your site once more.

 

you should have to put the quality content as well. Anyways your list seems to be good enough.

 

agreed, reply to the commenter. They will come back and comment again and again, which creates content to your site.

 

I really agree with this.

It has a correlation with

 

I really go with this one. On anything you do, if you don't love it, you'll surely fail.

 

content lacks creativity, maybe this is what i am lacking .

 

Your content should be original. That's the best thing when it comes to content.

 

This is a very good list, in my experience, blogs that are followed are those of regular posters, you have to post once a day at least and you have to interact with your readers, (ask them questions, opinions and so forth).
We have very good blogs that are only updated once a week and they have almost no following, while blogs that update every day slowly but surely start getting a good following.

Not sure about marketing and SEO stuff, most blog platforms/hosts take care of that for you. Remember that any search engines, (i.e. Google), will find you and list you if your content is good, they have been clever enough to go around all the SEO stuff for a long time now and are not fooled anymore.

Good, consistent contents is 90% of what you need for a good blog.

In my opinion, people tend to visit your blog because it solves their problems or for fun. Nothing more, nothing less.

 

The same can be said for many sites, regardless if it is a blog or not.

Problem solving and fun is not limited to blogs only.

Your content should be original.

 

i am totally agreed with your first point. In my case...
