Some great points here thanks Rohit. I’ve just started a business blog and I think i’ll take your advice and install the social media buttons asap, once i’ve added some more content.

You might be calling them mistakes, but some of the things you mention above I think make financial sense, I think when you first start this type of activity money is a big part of how we decide to do things. But is sounds like you are past that stage

@Chinemere : I had a bad experience with free hosting. My database was deleted twice and so from then on I recommend premium hosting to everyone..

Thanks every one for sharing your mistakes as this’ll help newbies who just entered the blogosphere. But one thing I’ll disagree here is the issue of free hosting. It is very good to host your blog on your own custom domain, but remember every blogger was one time a newbie. So for such a person it wont be advisable to start a blog on a self hosted wordpress or any other CMS. As this was exactly what I did and the blog did not see the light of the day. This is so because; as a new blogger there are so many things you need to know, prominent among them is niche marketing, content writing, seo, traffic hunting, blog terminology and all the bells and rings that come with blogging and the blogosphere, only when you know a little of all or most of these things will you think of starting a professional blog. But till then my advise is stick to freebies but when things improve make sure you re-invest on buying domain name and paying for hosting- or what do you guys think?
