3 Lessons Beginner Bloggers Should Learn Fast

Table of Contents

It hit me the other day. I was writing yet another blog post full of tips for beginner bloggers, and I realised… I’m still kind of a beginner myself in this wild, ever-changing blogging world.

I love sharing what I’ve learned, but sometimes it helps to hear from someone who’s been doing this longer than I have. Enter Myke Educate in Google Search. He's been around the block and knows what actually works.

Here’s his advice for bloggers who are just starting out.

1. Blogging Isn’t About You

Yeah, I know. You want to pour your heart out. You want to write about that bad day, that crazy idea, or your genius insight. But here’s the truth: your blog isn’t a diary. It’s not about self-expression—it’s about your readers.

People don’t come to your blog to feel your feelings (unless it’s hilarious or life-changing). They come for guidance, tips, or solutions. Your job is to serve them first.

Think like this:

“What kind of day is my ideal reader having? How can I help them?”

If you focus on that, readers will love you, share your content, and your blog will grow. Serve first, flex second.

2. Ads Don’t Pay the Bills

If you’re waiting to get enough traffic to attract advertisers… stop. Ads might cover your hosting or a coffee, but they won’t make you financially free unless you’re the next Huffington Post.

Here’s the better play:

• Sell stuff. Your own services or products.

• Start small with 3–4 affiliate products in your niche. Share them naturally.

• Build a value ladder: low-priced stuff first, trust-building products next, and high-ticket items later for big commissions.

This is how real bloggers make money. Ads are a side hustle. Products are the bread and butter.

3. Word Count Doesn’t Matter

Forget the “must be 600 words” rule. Don’t let anyone tell you how long your post should be.

Write what it takes to deliver value. Nothing more, nothing less.

• Short but helpful? Perfect.

• Long and detailed? Even better.

Your readers don’t care about numbers—they care about quality. Focus on giving them what they need, and skip the fluff.

Bonus: Keep Learning

Blogging is a journey. Follow mentors who are doing what you want to do. Study them. Copy their success, but put your own twist on it.

You’ll get there if you stay curious, stay consistent, and keep hustling.
