I have been blogging for the past 7 years and have gone on to various blogging-related videos and articles.
But what about it?
With the experience I have gained from these past 7 years, I want to tell you these 7 illogical blogging myths you should avoid.
Let’s directly shoot into these blogging myths without any more intro explanation.
1. Blogging Makes You Easy Money in a Short Time
This is an absolute lie, my friends. Many YouTubers and bloggers have sold the dream of you becoming a blogger for a whopping affiliate income and subscriber base.
It is not just about getting a domain and hosting; you will start earning within a few days.
But I want to tell you from my experience that blogging is not just about earning money but also about providing informative content to the user so that they will be satisfied after gaining knowledge.
Many factors are considered before starting blogging: SEO, backlinks, guest posts, experience in the niche, etc.
I would suggest that if you have about 6 months to a year, then you should enter into this industry because blogging is all about patience.
2. You Don't Have to Post Everyday
If your blog is not related to daily update sites like news, mobile, etc., then you don’t have to write a post every day.
You just need to write a high-quality well, well-researched, and informative article.
Quality > Quantity
Yeah, if you use AI to generate content, you can post every day, but remember that it will be all scrap value because Google will not rank it.
Google has been strict about content quality since its recent Core update.
3. Keyword Research Matters
Keyword research only matters partially, and you should not trust 100% of these so-called keyword research platforms like SEMrush, AHREF, etc., because they show you outdated keyword ideas and difficulty.
Write good content that satisfies the user’s soul and intention after reading it. Google will give top priority to your content over any other outdated content from your same niche.
4. Fully AI Generated Content Works
I have started almost three fully AI-generated blogs in different niches and tested them for about three months. However, I haven’t received any results from the two blogs, and one blog ranks on Google with some human modification in the articles.
I was so happy that my blog articles started ranking, and many keywords are ranking in the top 10 results.
But!
After a recent Google Core update, my website traffic crashed badly, and the site also disappeared from the search results.
Yeah, 10/100 people earn from AI-generated articles, but it will be of no use after your site receives Google updates.
I don’t suggest starting an AI Blog; instead, make a brand and give valuable information to the user.
It will take time to gain traffic, But trust me, it will increase the brand value of your blog.
5. Multi Niche Site works Best for Beginners
If you are a beginner and experienced in one niche, I suggest you start the blog in the same niche without thinking.
Because after you write about articles with a sprinkling salt of experience, users love to read them.
Multi-niche sites are best for those with capital to invest in writers, tools, backlinks, etc. Building a domain authority on multiple niche sites takes a lot of time.
Start with one niche because many articles can be written in one niche, too.
6. Approval of Adsense = Money & Money
Many bloggers start a blog, and after posting some articles, they start chasing Google Adsense approval on their sites.
Google AdSense approval is not all about that. After approval, you will be a millionaire and need to have potential traffic to your site or blog to earn from it.
Don’t just run after approval; make a blog so that many companies want to advertise on your site.
7. Best Blog Design to be on the Top
I personally think that blog design does not matter that much; quality content makes you unique from others.
So, don’t run after custom or premium themes if you have just started.
You can invest your money in those after your blog gains popularity and traffic from Google.
