Biggest Reason Your Blog Isn't Growing πŸ₯Ί

Published almost 2 years 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

Hi there, If you are like me when I started, trying to figure out all the 'admin' you need to do before you actually start your business might actually put you off starting entirely! Bank accounts, tax, legal compliance! O_OMost online business owners think about legal compliance the same way they think about going to the dentist. They know they should, they keep meaning to, and they assume they'll deal with it before anything goes wrong.The problem is that legal blind spots don't announce...

I recently talked about how 3 months after having a baby, I was allergic to the word 'hustle' and bros living in tree houses in Costa Rica's microdosing on magic mushrooms... You can read about it here if you missed it I realize now, I was burnt out and I lost all motivation for work (and life actually, not to sound dramatic) I would wake up, tired, and have no desire to do anything. Nothing seemed to bring me excitement anymore. It felt pretty bleak :( I started to question if I should burn...

Thanks to everyone who sent super supportive emails on the new snail mail club! It's been so much fun, you can see the progress here! I also ecently received a lovely IG post from a student about SEO; the same day, Google announced a radical change in its strategy. You can read about it here Ironically, my Google traffic is growing despite doing nothing different, apart from optimizing the same way I did 4-5 years ago! And interestingly, my blog's revenue has picked up recently too- weird eh?...
