Biggest Reason Your Blog Isn't Growing πŸ₯Ί

Published over 1 year 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

When I had my daughter, I assumed the hardest part of running my business would be time. I was wrong. The real challenge was mental bandwidth (and energy) πŸ₯Ά Before becoming a mom, I could sit down and work for hours. Brainstorm content.Plan projects.Experiment with ideas.Pivot quickly. I could come up with an idea and execute the whole thing in one day because I had 8-10 hours of blissful, uninterrupted TIME Now my work happens in small pockets of time. Two hours during preschool. An hour...

Lately, I’ve been in a strange phase with my work. For the last 8+ years, my blogs have been my business. They gave me freedom. Income. Even the ability for my husband and me to take a long sabbatical together. But this year feels different. I’m now running the same business while raising a baby. And I’m realizing something: The way I used to work doesn’t fit my life anymore. My time looks different. My priorities look different. Even the content I want to create feels different. For a while,...

The blog earned nothing for a solid year, and suddenly, at 13 months, I was able to monetise it properly and earn USD771.25 You can see proof of my earnings here It’s interesting that in my notes, I wrote: β€˜I need to diversify revenue sources.’ Clearly, this was worrying me, but why was it taking me so long to diversify my revenue sources? I'll tell you why : Because it's...
