One of the major mistakes I see from beginners is that they start building backlinks on random websites. Backlinks will work only then you build backlinks on related websites

Making content too similar to content that already exists. If someone is already out there, it is hard to overtake it on ranking if your site is not already established. Trying to focus on content with minimal to no content for is best.

Beginners frequently make errors that might have a negative effect on the positioning of their website on search engine results pages (SERPs). Beginners sometimes select keywords with high search volumes without taking the amount of competition into account. It's crucial to pick keywords that are appropriate for your content and face a manageable amount of competition.

There are many mistakes beginners make, such as backlinks, etc., but in my opinion, it's okay as long as they learn from their mistakes. It's not easy to be good SEO, and if you are only a beginner, first you need to learn what common mistakes are and avoid them.
