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

I’ll be honest with you - my numbers have been down lately. 😱 Not because blogging β€œdoesn’t work”… But because I haven’t actually worked on my blog. And here’s the truth no one tells you: πŸ‘‰ Passive income isn’t 100% passive. Yes, digital products, affiliate sales, and blog traffic can continue to generate sales long after you hit publish. But if you stop showing up completely? Traffic slows. Engagement dips. Sales decline. It’s like planting a garden: The seeds will grow, but only if you keep...

Let’s be honest β€” most of us are guilty of this… We publish content without thinking: HOW will it make me money?? We get caught up in writing, editing,...

Hey there When I went on maternity leave, I thought I had it all figured out. (Well, the business part, not the being a new mom part - I was pretty clueless about that.) Still am actually....O_O) I’d step back, enjoy those precious newborn moments, and my business would just… keep running. But here’s the truth: πŸ‘‰ I hadn’t set up any NEW digital products. I set up automated emails to run and thought, YAY!, its all running in the background while I figure out how to sterilise a bottle and try...
