SEO.
If you’re a new blogger, I’m sure you’ve heard this term before.
It stands for Search Engine Optimization.
In simplest terms, your blog posts can be the #1 search result on Google (or on another search engine platform) when someone searches for a specific keyword or general term.
For example, here’s the result for Pinterest groups for moms.
You have an amateur blog.
You start a blog and then all of a sudden, you feel like you have to play catch up.
You have to learn all about blogging, SEO, Pinterest, Facebook, marketing, email and more. But, how can you when you’ve only been blogging for 24 days?
When I started my amateur blog, I was fortunate to have my husband help me with the design and development of my blog. He also helped me figure out things I wanted to know quickly.
I’m forever grateful for that. And that’s why I like sharing blogging, traffic and money tips to all of you!
Got a new mommy blog?
When I first started Twins Mommy, no one came to my site. I think only 8 people did at first. I even leveraged my other blog’s audience to grow my blog traffic for this blog.
But, that didn’t work (obviously) since my other blog’s audience is primarily men!
So, I had to make sure that when new people DID arrive at my blog, that I kept them here as long as possible.
Why is that important?
Have you started your blog yet?
Yay, if you have, great and congrats! This is a big step to make money and turn your blog into an amazing biz!
But, before you go figuring out blog topics for your new blog, you need first to figure out a blog niche idea. I’ve been blogging for a few years now and learned that there are three main types of blog niches for bloggers.
You ask, “what to blog about?” and nothing fills your brain.
*Updated 2022*
It’s a new year, and that means it’s time to focus on your blog, right?
I don’t know about you, but when I start a new year, I am filled with amazing new ideas.
It’s not too late to start changing what you are doing to get blog traffic for your new blog.
Increasing blog traffic whether you’re a new blogger or seasoned blogger is still on everyone’s mind.
Traffic.
You want it.
You see it.
But….
You can’t attract it no matter what you do.
I hear ya, mama!
I have several blogs, and I’m working hard on generating traffic for each of my blogs, and you know what? Each blog has a different traffic strategy!
Raise your hand if you’re a new mom blogger and it’s been months since you last updated your blog.
I know!
When you have a little one to take care of – or twins in my case! – trying to find time to blog means doing the best writing at the crack of dawn or after a long day of caretaking and chores.
I don’t know about you, but my creative juices aren’t running during those times! So, how can you grow your blog when you’re tired, stressed, overworked and in mom mode every minute of the day?
Have you started a Facebook page for your blog?
Or, worse, you have, but you haven’t touched it in like forever?
I can so relate.
I have several Facebook pages for several of my sites, and I rarely post on all of them. What I end up doing, though, if focussing on my core pages – the one for Twins Mommy and the one for my freelance writing site.
You see a lot of popular blogs out there, right?
Want to start a blog because you hear about how amazing it is?
You probably read popular blogs and wondering how they make money eh?
And even better – there are even mom bloggers making money blogging! Yes, if you’re a stay-at-home mom, you can start a mom blog!
So, I thought I’d share some of the most popular blogs for you. These types of blogs make money.
You may have been learning that the ONLY way blogs make money is if you….blog about blogging.
Is your new blog a ghost town?
You put your passion and time into your brand new blog and fill it with amazing posts to attract traffic and readers and what ends up happening?
No one is coming to your blog!!!!
This hurts and can make you feel like you’re blogging in an over-saturated niche and that is why no one cares about your blog.
