Biggest Reason Your Blog Isn't Growing πŸ₯Ί

Published 12 months agoΒ β€’Β 2 min read

In 2022, I was interviewed by this popular podcast on how I grew my first blog from 7k visitors to over 100k visitors in less than six months- after failing for a good solid two years to grow my blog.

There were a few key things I did to get traction on my blog:

The things I changed:

1- Updated old content

2- Wrote new content that people were actually searching for ie, low competition, high search volume topics

3- Deleted thin crap content

4- Changed my theme

5- Changed my hosts

Out of all these changes, I believe the single biggest change that moved the needle was...

Changing hosts

Why?

Because it was a blog structural issue

Let's imagine your blog is a rental property you are looking to rent out and earn from

You could:

  • Paint the entire house so it looks fresh and pristine
  • Furnish the house with beautiful interior design
  • Landscape the garden
  • Pay for advertising to convince potential renters to view the house ...

But if the house has structural defects, such as cracked walls and sinking floors, no renter in their right mind will pay you to rent it.

It's the same with your blog

If you spend all your time enticing readers to read your blog, but once they arrive, it takes 20 seconds to load, they will bounce off and never return!

I chose them because, compared to other hosts offering the same service, they are:

  • Affordable
  • Offer FREE speed optimizations for your site
  • Fix small tech issues
  • I get customer support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, within 30 seconds on their dedicated chat.

What if you can't afford a better host?

Then you can try to improve your site speed yourself

I have some bonus modules in Triple Your Traffic, that teach you how to optimise and increase the speed of your site yourself

You know the type. The person who slides into your DMs with β€œCan I pick your brain real quick?” … and suddenly you’ve written them a full consultation β€” for free. It happens to every business owner and blogger at some point. And while generosity is part of who we are, here’s the truth: you can’t build a sustainable business if you give away all your time and expertise, all the time. Since becoming a new mom, I've had to rein in my tendencies to voice note and message complete in-depth...

You don’t climb mountains every weekend.You don’t have a pet llama in your living room.You don’t spend summers yachting in the French Riviera. And guess what? That’s totally fine. Because you don’t have to be wildly exciting to have a blog people love. The truth? Your readers don’t need fireworks β€” they need connection. Let’s be honest β€” my life right now? It’s bottles, naps, and the occasional solo trip… to the grocery store. Seven months ago, I had a baby, and suddenly my wild adventures...
