My first blog was a failed project, and this is not because blogging is hard, but it’s all because of me. In this post I will try to mention everything I did right and wrong during my experience.

Let me tell you first that I am not an expert, I am just a girl who loves crypto and is trying to earn money online in different ways and I just want to share with you what I learned so far!   

Ever since I learned about bitcoin and crypto in general, I started testing a lot of websites and apps to earn extra cash besides my main work on print-on-demand sites as a designer.

And in this time, I searched and heard about how you can make a lot of money by getting your website. This idea alone caught my attention and I told myself I need to do this at some point.

Now back to the days when I decided to get my first blog, back then I was watching some YouTube videos about blogging and I thought if I didn’t do it now, I would never do it (you know how we all are these days :)

And just like this, I purchased my first hosting plan on hostinger but not before choosing the name of my domain and designing my logo.

So, the first thing I did right was searching to choose what my website should be called and then getting the logo.

The first wrong step is getting the hosting plan before planning for my content for the next 2 months at least.

So now you’re telling me that I can’t start unless I have content?!

Of course, you can start whenever you want, but if you don’t want to fail, you have to plan everything from the layout of your website to blog post ideas to marketing your content; otherwise you will get stuck somehow because you know life hits us daily.

And a lot of us, especially the content creators or writers in general, will face trouble sometimes when we can't decide which topic to talk about and this is when planning will benefit you

What did I do right while blogging?

• I made good quality content (which allowed me to get accepted on Google AdSense with just 7 posts)

• I made a forum on my website so members can share their knowledge. 

• I focused on keyword research and Seo, which helped me gain organic traffic and impressions.

What did I do wrong while blogging?

• I didn’t stick to a posting schedule (I posted whenever I felt like it)
• I didn’t focus on promoting my blog posts on social media platforms, which meant my content didn't reach the right audience.
• I didn’t plan my content.

There is a lot of details to say on why a blog fails, but we can talk about them later when we have more experience. for now let’s keep it simple.
