Starting a blog is an adventure!
And it can change your life. But there is more to blogging than just starting one.
Finding website ideas is one of the biggest challenges for bloggers. What type of blog do you want, and is it one you can create or feel you’re not experienced enough?
This isn’t all about your blog niche, either. This is a topic about the framework of your overall blog plan.
As a new blogger, figuring out what to blog about usually is the biggest challenge.
But, once you figure that out, you might be wondering, how often should I publish a blog post? Is there a right number of blog posts you should publish per week?
And what happens if you can no longer maintain that content schedule? What do you do?
You started a blog and were amazed with how suddenly you got some traffic for the first few months.
You loved it and enjoyed it and couldn’t believe it.
But, then it happened.
The traffic you gained this month isn’t nearly half of the traffic you had last month.
Every blogger strives for it –
The day when their blog posts ranks in Google #1…or #2…or #3 position!
According to studies, the number one position can bring you 33% more traffic than spot 2 or 3!
And, if you’re monetizing your blog, having this position is a goldmine.
But, you know what?
Having a hard time figuring out what to blog about on your blog?
Finding topic ideas for your blog can be hard. It is for me!
I have a lot of ideas but when I look at my blog, I already wrote about it!
So, I have to dig deeper and come up with different ideas or spin an idea I already wrote about.
You did it!
You started a blog and chose WordPress as your content management platform!
Yay! It’s scary but exhilarating at the same time. Then reality settles in, and suddenly you feel this is too much. Too overwhelming.
You just don’t know how to use WordPress, and now you feel like a failure!
When you think about a blog, what comes to mind?
Do you see it as a diary of personal stories?
A place to learn from?
Or, do you find blogs a way to connect and feel a part of a group or cause?
Isn’t it exciting?
You just started a new blog, and all those blogging ideas are coming to fruition.
You also created an editorial content calendar and know what blog posts you’ll be writing and how often you will publish them.
But one thing is missing.
You don’t have a plan to promote your content. Sure, you know you’ll share it on social media and let your IRL friends know about it.
And that’s it.
There was no thought into the exact strategies you can use to promote your blog posts as a way to get some mega blog traffic.
So, what can you do if you have a new blog with new blog posts and you want people reading it?
Are you a new blogger struggling to write blog posts to help you increase your website traffic?
SEO writing is one way to help you figure out blog post topics, but as new bloggers, you shouldn’t focus on only one source of traffic.
It’s also a good idea to focus your editorial calendar for your blog posts on Pinterest also.
Pinterest is a powerhouse platform when it comes to bringing engagement, clicks, and traffic to your site.
Do you know the very first step of growing your blog?
It’s writing.
Writing that first blog post.
But, what if you have a blog, and you feel you aren’t the best writer?
