Blog Mistake Monday’s

  • by Rachel
  • December 19th, 2008

Over the years I’ve made my fair share of mistakes.  Life, work, and now blogging have taught me many lessons both professionally and personally.  One thing that we all have in common is that we make mistakes; learning from those mistakes is what will make us better in our careers and personal lives.  Starting this Monday I plan to run a new feature article called “Blog Mistake Monday’s” and I need your help!

I can say with 100% conviction that I’ve learned much more from my mistakes than from my successes in life.  Starting the path down full-time blogging is no exception to this rule.  All too often we read and hear about how to be a successful blogger;  I think it’s time we share how to be unsuccessful bloggers.  With your help, let’s share some of the blunders we’ve experienced creating our blogs.  Big or small, we can all learn from each others blogging errors and hopefully gain some valuable insight.

With your help we can learn, laugh, and have some fun with this.  I’ll be accepting guest posts highlighting your blog mistakes at my email: rachel@averagegal.com.  Each Monday I’ll highlight one or more of the mistakes shared as well as give a short review of your blog.  This is a great way to not only share your experience but spotlight your blog!

To get this jump started I’m going to give away 3 free blog reviews with 3 free Jump Drives from Buy, to 3 lucky winners.  To enter, simply write a blog post about the new “Blog Mistake Monday’s” feature here at AverageGal between now and Dec. 25, 2008.  Place a comment with the link back to the post in the comments section below and your name will be entered.  I’ll draw 3 names/winners on the 26th and announce the winners.  Good Luck and I look forward to hearing from you!
