Distribute your blog post content across all of your online platforms including social media networks, while also adopting repurposing strategies, to boost your content visibility, reach, attention, and engagement.

I highly recommend using WordPress.org for your blog, I host my own blogs with NixiHost and I have fantastic experience with them. This combo gives you full ownership, a professional domain, complete customization, tons of design options, and control over monetization. Unlike free platforms, you'll have no content restrictions, better performance, room to grow, professional email, improved SEO, and a direct connection with your audience. Promote your blog by sharing on relevant social media, engaging in writing communities, building an email list, using SEO, and considering guest posts. NixiHost simplifies the technical stuff with easy setup and support, letting you focus on your writing like me.

Reddit works better now. Medium could bring readers, however medium itself is micro blogging site. Pinterest is better for visuals blog. Quora can be another popular choice to promote.

Make it everywhere apart from SEO.

Good luck..

Blogs get traffic through SEO, not marketing.

Write articles about things people are searching for and if the blog is structured well enough, has the correct keywords and topics, it will rank high on google.

If your blogs contain content with little search volume, you won't get any "viewership"

What have you tried so far to get traffic to it?

Depends on what you write on and how big that niche is. You need to write articles that are SEO optimized so target specific keywords your target audience might search for. There are also tool to see what volume the keywords have in terms of searches. (ahrefs, semrush, mangools)

Also repurpose your content, write a newsletter, turn your articles into posts for reddit, make script out of your articles and make a video for youtube, cut that into short videos for tiktok or youtube shorts, etc.

Just posting its link everywhere and also create something that can really help others first.

In our case we manage and participate a few business groups to network.

We have about 1300 members totalling together and that helps to have a few views at least.

If anyone wants to join us and announce yours to them, feel free to dm.

All of social media, repurpose blogs into videos and graphic posts, spread out on the socials. Buy ads on social. Create a newsletter and get people to sign up, push blog there. Find ways to get attention in your unique niche. Partner with experts in the niche, do interviews, promote them so they promote you.

Have you tried spam?

Find other blogs that are doing similar things. Show support and engagement the way you would like people to do with yours. Be genuine. Make yourself available to write a guest post (or other type of collaboration) and invite them to do the same. Then move on and focus back on your work. Set aside some time as part of your routine to be active about reaching out and putting your work out there and eventually something will catch.

Blogging is not as popular as it once was, so you'll immediately have some problems there. imo, while it's frustrating, your writing needs to speak for itself. There's not amount of promotion on your end that can make it a viral sensation or get high levels of ongoing readership, it takes good content that people want to consume.

Hi Dating_Bitch,

We noticed you are a pretty new Reddit account, so we just wanted to let you know to check out the subreddit rules here.

We're called No Stupid Questions because we believe nobody needs to be attacked for asking a question, but that doesn't mean there are no rules! This sub is meant for users like you to ask genuine questions, so please don't ask jokes or rants disguised as questions. While you can ask almost anything here, please keep illegal and loaded questions off this sub to give others a good experience and ask medical questions in more appropriate places.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

Hi, my top 5 points are -- 1. understand my audience. Goals, needs, and pain points. 2. Choose a sleek design that's mobile-responsive and easy on the eyes. 3. Stick with High-quality content, generic/ai generated crap won't cut it. 4. Add plenty of engaging media, video, images, etc. 5. Grab an analytics tool so you can see how your posts are doing and figure out what's working and what's not.

I can only thing of one as of now.

Before starting a blog, create all possible social media for your blog so that nobody can impersonate you.

1. Writing for (and knowing) your ideal reader
2. Consistency
3. Quality site setup (host, theme, etc.)
4. How SEO works
5. Structure

It depends on your goals, but for most bloggers…

You need to know:

• who your audience is, their problems & pain points
• what they want vs what they need
• how to provide the solutions
• the problems the solutions create
• where to promote before you write the post

Or… just like, some technical stuff. Idk.

Assuming you want to monetise it and you are already set up? (By the sounds of your intro).

1. Post consistently - 2 -3 times per week.
2. Add you own pictures and/video (depending on topic), as it adds a lot to your post and proves you're actually doing/knowledgeable about the thing you are talking about.
3. Pick a couple of good traffic driving socials and build them - get social on them consistently. For traffic, I would definitely recommend Facebook, Pinterest and/or YouTube.
4. This should probably be number one - but write about what you love/enjoy. You want last long if you don't!
5. Write with the mindset that you are helping your audience/solving their problem. People are busy and want something from your blog - keep them engaged, so no topics that can be solved by a quick query! Remember without your audience, you are nothing!

Yeah, Getting your blog or website traffic is always the tough part. Solid SEO, posting consistently, building good backlinks, or even outsourcing to someone like Taktical Digital are some feasible ways to drive and grow traffic.

Traffic is becoming harder to get with AI. Regular SEO practices are shifting or simply not working any more.

You need a balance, a brand that brings user back to your blog directly. meaning they aren't searching for answers and finding you on Google.

Getting the basics of SEO right is still valid.

You also need to start writing for AI engines. More FAQs, unique pieces, case studies, interviews, etc

Ai wants quick answers to questions.

Firstly optimize your blog content according to seo and then try to get indexed your blog

Create good content for search terms that are underserved

You want visibility and yeah, it can be hard to get for your site and brand. Press releases can draw eyes to your website. Posting to 'low hanging fruit' sites, like those from sites in your niche that allow for posting without requiring a fee. Social media is critical now. Posting to Instagram, tiktok and Facebook are ideal for getting visitors to your content. We use PR companies to create content and distribute to a network of sites. You can use platforms like Qwoted to try to get your brand visibility.

We post well researched and constructed blog entries to our websites and blast to social media channels, focusing on our targeted keyword phrases. We help increase visibility to our sites by submitting to local channels, trying to increase our visibility in Google map pack. We also find websites that are in our niche and work out deals to post our content on their websites, which brings clicks to our websites. We also optimize so our content is more likely to appear in AI overview.

There's a lot of things you can do to increase blog traffic but it's not easy and can require a lot of effort and strategic initiative.

I promote blog content using SEO and achieve over 80% traffic from organic search marketing source. Then Quora, then Twitter, then Fb,and then LinkedIn. But reddit? Zero. Here's just waste of time! But preparing for YouTue - is athe best place for stylish vocals.

Because your blog is old I would update old blog posts using keyword research. That's my best way.

Then promote on Quora, Twitter, and YouTube to name a few. However, most of my traffic now is organic. You could also comment on other related blogs in your niche.

Organic traffic from Google and Pinterest is the way to go for me. I'm not really a social media person so Instagram and Facebook seemed like a real chore but I do enjoy Google and Pinterest. You could also look at guest posting opportunities or sponsored posts within relevant niches to reach a new audience :)

In my humble opinion, posting on social media provides potential traffic because it will appear on the news feed of the people you frequently interact with.

If the title is catchy, there's a big chance they might click it and go to your blog post. If your content is great (solves their challenge, they get entertained, learned something), then there's a big chance they share your post.

Also like others' comments: Quora is also a good resource of traffic.

I also learned from income school, the most effective way according to them is to continue creating quality contents because later on these blog posts will be indexed and Googled by people.

Hope this helps!😁

i know I'll be the odd-ball here... 80% of my traffic is Facebook.
News site (so I constantly write). I have a strong facebook page following that I post to and then I share the post to other relevant pages.

working on some things to break the facebook dependency...will increase traffic outside of Facebook

For several years I ran with a second acct that just had a few friends.. so that I could share my posts to my page. But then I was also sharing to other related groups and realized I was getting all of the angry random people and none of my friends and family… so I went back to my main acct

I respect your stance and understand… but without knowing your content I can guarantee there are groups of fanatical people you are missing out on (in getting them to read your site)

Paid advertising and social media

Social media is one of the most effective ways to promote a blog and drive traffic. It takes time and effort, but it can pay off in the end. Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook are great platforms for this purpose.

Create a content calendar to keep yourself organized and ensure your efforts are consistent. Make your content engaging and relevant to attract views and followers. Engage with your audience and others in your niche.

Consider using ads to boost your organic reach or working with marketing agencies like AscendViral, which offer organic growth services for Instagram. This can help drive traffic to your website and grow your following.

Additionally, invest in Google Ads, Facebook Ads, email marketing, and SEO for your website.

These tactics are crucial for increasing traffic and improving your website ranking.

Pinterest can be useful, but it might not be the best platform for promoting a blog. It's more suited for visual content like fashion or design.

I try to follow the natural route.. socials, message boards, groups etc. the only real Promoting I do would be on Pinterest but you should make sure your content is "Pinterest friendly" before you waste your time promoting mancave guides to soccer moms - if that makes sense.

I'm a pinterest manager and I promote blogs on Pinterest. Trust me it's a very cost effective way to market your blog. If you need help with that, kindly dm.

Pinterest was awesome for me 10 years ago, but when Idea Pins came about in 2020-2021 my traffic tanked. I now spend about 15 mins a week scheduling pins - traffic started to return a bit in February but not where it was. I wish the now defunct Gawker sites were still active. Those were great for getting press and traffic.

Now I mainly rely on SEO, Facebook, and IG Stories. I also have been hella focused on my email list.

Post consistently. Use eye-catching visuals. Engage with your audience and other bloggers. Share your posts in relevant groups and forums. Collaborate with influencers. Check out Boostarz, a platform where your posts get good visibility.

Depending on Topics of your articles. LinkedIn is a good platform to share quality content, your’ll likely get more engagement then facebook, X etc..

To get more readers from social media, try sharing your articles with a personal touch, like pulling a quote or insight and adding a short thought when you post. Twitter (X), LinkedIn, and even Pinterest work well depending on your niche. Engaging with other writers and readers regularly helps too, it’s not just about sharing links, but joining the conversation.

Turn those blog posts into scripts for YouTube videos, use an AI video generator to turn the script into a full video with broll and voiceover. Post on your channel and add the link in the description to the blog post (for people who prefer to read instead of watching a video).

Mention the blog link at the start of your video.

You will now get more traffic from YouTube to your blog, plus the traffic from YouTube itself is also very valuable. For many niches, videos perform better than written blogs for affiliate marketing.

Done.

You’ve got a solid foundation already. If you’re not doing much with SEO yet, I built a simple tool that helps writers optimize their articles without needing to learn all the technical stuff. Could help get more organic traffic alongside social.
