The Blogging Mistake I Did For 25 Years
I’m making Blogging Mistakes every single day. But the biggest one is really a HUGE one.
I did it for 25 years.
The biggest Blogging Mistake I did was not blogging.
I started my serious blogging experience less than one year ago, and I continuously discover things I’d like to investigate.
And every day I tell myself
If only I started blogging when I was at the college / younger / a blue-haired punk…
(I really was ;) )
There’s nothing you can do about it… Once you’re a blogger, the thing you’ll regret most is not to have started before.
Lots of people keep on saying things like
- Everybody has a blog, today
- There are too many blogs
- You will be just one in a million
- You’ll never be noticed
I agree that lots of people have a blog today.
But more and more people will have a blog tomorrow…
Do you really think it will be easier to start blogging in the future?
The sooner you start your blog, the sooner you’ll be a good blogger.
You can’t avoid this, it takes time to be a good blogger… (and I’m far for being one ;) )
- you have to do mistakes (nobody never stops doing that!),
- you have to take your time to understanding how it works
- you’ll need time to build relationships
- you need to read other blogs
- you have to learn how to use all the social tools out there
- and much more.
And the sooner you start, the happier you’ll be.
If you still haven’t started your own blog, do it now, because the right time to start blogging was ten minutes ago.

Great post. I doubt though that you would’ve enjoyed blogging when you were still a three year old preschooler ;-)

Great! .. but never forget to
“Start blogging when you have something to say”
When I was teen, I don’t think I could post something that other people would like to read ..
(btw: when I was teen, blogs did not exist yet !!)

Inspirationbit,
thanks for your appreciation :)
Stefano,
I do not agree on the “start blogging when you’ve something to say” thing: if you have nothing to talk about, but you start blogging about yourself, your cat or the weather, you are not helping your visitors, (and you’ll probably will have a small amount of visitors) but you can still learn a lot and enjoy it. You blog just for yourself, and there’s nothing bad in it :)
And after a year or so of this “egoistic blogging” you’ll be full of thoughts you want to share, and skilled enought to start a blog that can really help your visitors.
Teo,
I have been bright blue for at least one month! … after that, I agree I travelled down throught all the shades from blue to white :(

I started my blog six months ago and wish I’d started earlier. I’m now hooked on blogging!

I recently started blogging and it still feels like everyone is watching what you say and how you say it
The funny thing is its not even 50 people that pass from my blog daily ;)

I just started blogging and I am glad I found your post. Exactly what I was thinking when I started blogging. Luckily the Germans are always a little bit slower regarding Internet trends. Do not know about Italy. Serious blogging just started here. I think in a few years no one regrets that he kept on blogging.

It may have been a problem starting a blog over 25 years ago as they didn’t exist yet! But I’m sure enough people have already said that ;)
