- Never worked from Office
I found it one of the major mistakes of my journey. I always preferred working from home. Result: Less productive. But given lots of time to family and close people.
Advice: Prefer working from the office, either take a co-working space.
- Fascinated by New things in Blogging
I wasted almost 1-2 years of my starting time due to this. I was on the right track but listened to quick money schemes like event blogging and all. I ranked event blogs and made some good money. But unable to make assets.
These days, Web stories, Script sites, AI, and Automation are kind of the same.
So what does mean by Asset?
These sites are quick money-making, but you can only make money by Ad revenue. It doesn’t have any value. Means jb chaho sale nhi kr skte.
Advice: Focus on Asset building, raise blog jinka kuch value ho, sale kr ske, Customer bna ske.
3… Never built a Brand or Authority Site
Today in Google updates, which sites are hitting mostly?
Almost new sites, fewer authority sites.
Sites having lots of authority are less prone to be hit by updates. (It is also an asset)
Advice: Choose a niche, and try to make an authority site, like stay there for 5 years or 6 years.
4… Portfolio, Branding, etc
The portfolio is important. I never made any portfolio. I must had a blog related to SEO & Blogging, but I have not.
Or Portfolio on upwork or Fivver or an agency.
But I didn’t make.
People are making 5K, 10K USD with just 3-4 year experience on Upwork fivver. Imagine a person with a 9-year of experience portfolio, A whole agency could have made.
Advice: A portfolio is most important. Either blog, or any Freelancing site.
5… Stopped making Youtube Videos
Before Jio, I had 3500 Subscribers in the Blogging niche youtube channel with just 9 videos.
I stopped it. Mujhe asset ke taur pe consider krna chahiye tha.
Advice: If you have something like this (Youtube, Insta Page, Fb page, Twitter). Keep growing it.
6… No Core Team
I have a team, but they are not permanent. So I was unable to make my own core team.
Due to work from home approach.
Advice: If you started making good money. Invest on your business, shift to office, make core team.
- Overthinking
I used to do lots of overthinking, Almost everyone do.
Aj bhi same krta hu.
Samne niche dikhti hai, that can make $50 per day to $300 per day, But don’t know why I am unable to take quick action on making sites. (I think due to overthink and no core team)
Advice: Don’t think much, if you find some potential niche, start that.
8… Close Some income sources
Like I was making good money from Adsense in 2018. Due to being hit by Google, I left Adsense and fully focused on Affiliate.
left all AdSense sites.
Later few of them revived and I got payments in lakhs but couldn’t focus on them. Due to the focus on affiliates.
Advice: if no interest in something like Adsense, things can be automated by hiring people.
