6 WAYS TO EXPLODE YOUR BLOG'S PAGEVIEWS TO A BRAND NEW BLOG

Happy New week,

Hello everyone, I hope you all had an amazing weekend and are staying safe. We were surprisingly visited with some snow yesterday which was great to have and to also witness my youngest seeing his first snow. I hope it decides to stay awhile for a snowman attempt. Anyway, today I am back with another blogging post for you and is for those people who just started blogging and are still figuring out how to increase their page views without selling their souls or having to buy something to get the information they need. So here are 6 ways to explode your blog’s pageviews in a brand new blog if you are a newbie. In case you missed my post on the mistakes I did before launching my blog, do check it out here.

Blogging is really hit or miss sometimes whereby what may work for one blogger may not necessarily work for you and that is totally fine. There’s no point of beating yourself up if you tried what another person did and it just didn’t work. All you have to do is regroup and find new strategies that will work for you, I have personally used these specific ways and they really helped me out when I got started and still do up to now.

6 WAYS TO EXPLODE YOUR BLOG'S PAGEVIEWS IN A BRAND NEW BLOG

how to increase your blog's page views

1. QUALITY OVER QUANTITY

In order for you to increase your page views, you need more visitors to your site and for that to happen, the content you put out there has to be of good quality. If you came into blogging thinking that you are going to write about anything that pops into your head, then you really need to rethink why you started blogging but if it’s just for fun then, by all means, do you and don’t let me stop you. The content you put out should be able to help someone else and make them want to stick around and read more of your content and even share them. Putting out good quality content is key to increasing your page views and making your readers come back. There’s no point of having 50 posts if you only 5 that are of good quality.

2. BE NICHE SPECIFIC

As much as the quality of your posts is key, you also need to stick to your niche and not be all over the place when posting your content. Stay along the lines of your niche and don’t deviate to other topics that really don’t mesh well with what your blog is all about. Be niche specific and stick to it, if you’re still not sure what your niche is, here are some answers you need to figure it out and start brainstorming blog post ideas around your niche.

3. CONSISTENCY, CONSISTENCY

Blogging is all about being consistent and having to publish posts regularly not only to make your readers keep coming back but to also get new ones hence increasing your page views. Without consistency, your blog will increase in readers at one point then suddenly drop again making you go on a roller coaster of highs and lows every time, which unfortunately is what happened to me the last few months of last year. It was, without doubt, my fault because I was away for long and lacked the consistency needed.

So for you to keep increasing your page views, learn from my faults and have a smart schedule for when you will be publishing your posts and stick to it and you will see a definite increase in your page views. I know there are times where you can be posting consistently but still, your views are remaining stagnant, here is where my next point will be of help.

6 WAYS TO EXPLODE YOUR BLOG'S PAGEVIEWS TO A BRAND NEW BLOG

4. USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA

Once you have quality posts, you’re staying in your niche and are being consistent, the next thing you will need to do is promote the hell out of your posts. Actually, the writing and publishing are not as important as promoting because at the end of it all, “What’s the point of having good content and no one there to read it?”. The best way to promote your content is through social media, be active on the platforms you choose, join active Facebook groups and share in the threads provided. My page views have increased just by joining Facebook groups, if you are active on Instagram, Twitter then utilize those platforms to promote your posts. There is always someone online at a given time on social media, plus if you already have a huge following then it gives you a good start.

5. PINTEREST

You all know about Pinterest by now and how it will increase your page views if used correctly. Still new to it, here is a beginner’s guide to help you out. When I started using Pinterest, I read about how it could increase your page views tremendously and I jumped onto that wagon like nobody’s business but the mistake I did was not using it in the right way. Pinterest is a search engine and all about visuals and what is pleasing to the eye, your pins need to be vertical, long and eyecatching. After changing my pins, I realised an increase in repins and visits to my site. Also, make a point of joining groups within your niche and share your content in the group boards. Use these Pinterest strategies to promote your blog post.

6. TAILWIND

Along with Pinterest, tailwind is not far behind and I’m sure you’ve heard of it too. Tailwind helps you to schedule your posts without doing them manually and saves you time too. It also lets you know how your boards are doing and where to improve on. If you haven’t tried tailwind before, you can sign up here and get a month trial and see whether you like it or not. Tailwind also has communities which you can join too and be able to share your content there which helps a lot, just remember not to annoy other pinners by spamming them with your content all the time. Share other people’s content too but don’t forget to include yours which I scarcely did when I began. Do give it a try and see how it works for you.

7. BONUS AND IMPORTANT- LEARN SEO

Another important way to increase your page views is by knowing the ins and outs of SEO by doing keyword research thoroughly and being able to find and use the correct ones to target what your posts are about, and include them in your titles, tags and in the body of your posts too. SEO has so much entailed and doesn’t just end at keyword research heck I am still figuring it out and learning every day. So in combination with the 6 ways to explode your blog’s pageviews in a brand new blog above, SEO is one to look into even more. Also, learn what you should include in every blog post.

So there you go, 6 ways to explode your blog’s pageviews to a brand new blog and not having to stress about it. If you have any questions for me, do ask in the comments below and remember that blogging is a journey, success may happen overnight but it can also take some time. What are the different ways you use to increase your blog’s page views?

  2. We find these tips to be very helpful! we’re new bloggers trying to grow our audience. Being active on social media has helped us a lot. We’re still trying to figure out Pinterest though.

    1. than you very much, Pinterest is still tricky even for me and all I do is try to figure out different strategies and see which works best, hoping to find the secret soon.

  3. Thank you for this post. I am fairly new to blogging and I’m slowly but surely gathering up all these wonderful tips, applying them and seeing results! I am currently trying to focus my niche and write more high-quality content.

  4. These are great tips! Pinterest is my life saver. I had a busy week last week and didn’t post or promote anything, but I was still getting daily 50-100 readers from Pinterest a day.

    1. I have also been a bit MIA with Pinterest but luckily still got views I don’t think I’d have any if I wasn’t using it. Such a life saver.

    1. Yes evergreen content is great, you never need to go and update it since it can be read all year round which is the best option for increase in page views.

  6. Great tips for increasing pageviews! I absolutely agree about quality over quantity. It’s also important to create content that is helpful to others and either answers a question or solves a problem. 🙂

    1. Exactly, no point of filling your blog with info that will not benefit anyone, unless that’s what some one wants for their blog. Thanks for stopping by.

  9. Those are some great tips. While I think I have the niche and content creation part worked out, promotion remains my biggest struggle still. Facebook groups are great and they bring visitors but only on promotion days. Being part of 15 isn’t helping the cause at all. I am trying to filter down to 4-5 most meaningful FB groups. Is that a good number?

    1. oh wow, 15 groups? that’s quite a lot. If they are not helping at all try and narrow them down to the most useful and most active so that it can give you extra time to focus on the promoting rather than trying to see which group posted what. Go for around 6 to 7 and choose ones that do benefit you at the long run.

  10. I keep hearing about the importance of using Pinterest and I really want to start getting familiar with it! Thanks for sharing these tips!

  11. Haven’t heard of Tailwind before, but I’ll try it. Thanks for the suggestion.Now is not always the best time to publish your post. Sometimes you have to wait a bit for the best effect.

  12. Thank you for your recommendations! These are things I have heard before but it is easy to lose heart and forget so I appreciate your reminders!! 🙂

  14. Good advice- we all need to be reminded of whats to increase our blog’s page views. Some of the solutions are simpler than we think

  16. I’ve heard a lot of people praising about Tailwind, but I never used it. I’m still trying to figure it out how Stumbleupon works…

    1. Tailwind helps you schedule your pins onto pinterest which saves you lits of time while stumbleupon is sort of a bookmarking site only that you have to be careful when in comes to your bounce rate because it can really increase if your pages are not really being read but just stumbled.

  24. Thank you for the tips to increase website traffic, it will helps me a lot to increase my pageviews.

  25. Great ideas, just started using the free version of Tailwind and hoping it’ll make my Pinterest boom!

  26. Thank you so very, very much. It’s been a few years and I am still working on this thing called “growth”. I think that I have good content and people who read my posts say the same, but I don’t see the followers, the likes, shares or comments yet. I am just getting into the Facebook groups thing and it is a big help! I appreciate this post so much!

    1. It’s all a process and I still struggle and followers come slowly the groups really help to get you comments and have some shares, you can do this it will all work out.

    1. Don’t worry life happens and it can sometimes drive us crazy but we get back to it, I also didn’t blog for a month and felt really bad about it but I came back to it and persevered. Happy blogging.

  29. Sometimes I think bloggers forget about being genuine and approachable. Those are both very, very important.

  30. Thanks for the tips Joan. I plan on getting started with pinterest sooner than later. From what iv seen its one good way to get your blog out there.

  31. Thanks for the tips Joan. I plan on getting started with pinterest sooner than later. From what iv seen its one good way to get your blog out there.

  35. I couldn’t agree more with the tips you provided! I have personally found over time that consistency really is the most important thing in driving steady traffic to my blog.

  36. Hello Joan
    Thanks so much for sharing, it seems every blogger`s worry is traffic,you write and write and eems like no one is checking your blogs,no traffic and the few people who happen to visit the blog seem like in a hurry to leave.
    Really appreciate your tips.

    1. You’re welcome blogging is all about patience and we have to accept that some people may not like our content but appreciate the ones that do.

  37. Great list! I’ve been killing myself on FB, Twitter, and IG but at the end of the day it’s the Pinterest that drives the traffic! Thanks for the reminder. Gonna be all about Pinterest in November

  41. These are good tips! I really need to get into Pinterest it sounds like, so many bloggers recommend it! 🙂

    Hope that you are having a great week and that you have a nice weekend ahead of you!

  42. Tailwinds has been a game changer for me. I tried to ignore Pinterest for as long as I could and that was a huge mistake! Great tips, I have to promote on my personal social media more.

  46. Really great tips ~ it can be a tough job to be a blogger and to produce so much quality content but you can really see all your hard work start to pay off in the end.

  47. Awesome advise I’m so new to Pinterest is still trying to get that down pact! All other social media besides twitter I’m good at Twitter still new as well! Love this thanks

  49. What great tips! I always want to get better page views. I’ll have to try these for sure. I’m trying to get better with Pinterest.

  52. I haven’t tried tailwind. I don’t know how to use it. 😞 But other tips are good for me.

  53. Welcome back! So glad to hear that you are feeling better .You are s right about just how hit or miss it can be when dealing with blog posts. You shared some really great tips! Thank you for sharing and keep up the great content.

  55. l agree with your tips. For me Facebook and pinterest have been a great source of traffic. Also being consistent helps. I am currently focusing on consistency and quality.

  56. Recently, My tailwind free trial is finished. I was wondering whether to go for upgrade version or not. Now, I think, it’s important to have it especially if your work is growing.

    1. You can try it out for a month and see if it does make a difference, if nothing changes then you just deactivate and you are back to where you are now, but if you do use it wisely then it can really pay off at the end.

  57. These are some great tips. I have been thinking of using Tailwind. I have been too scared to try it for some reason so far. I need to just do it!!

  59. These are pretty standard tips that all bloggers need to keep in mind. Periodically reviewing our strategies is important.

  60. I’ve been running my blog for almost a year, but I still feel like a rookie at times. I do most of the things you suggested in your post and I hope that with time I’ll gain more viewers of my page! 🙂

  62. These are really some useful tips. I need to work on 2-3 things. I love each and every article of yours. Thanks for sharing such an useful information.

  64. I am so glad I am past that phase. So stressful! The mom also has to try to win you over. It’s a 2 way street 🙂

  65. Welcome back dear and I hope everything is fine with you now. Thanks for this tips and tricks. I didn’t know about tailwind yet and I will take a look and learn it then.

  66. I paid for Tailwind for a couple of months. And I did try it out and try to make headway with it. While I do believe in increased my Pinterest visibility, I didn’t quite get the spike in blog visits I would like. Although I am not sure I spent the kind of time with it which would have helped significantly.

  67. Great tips, Yes posting consistent is most important and also promoting it in social media.

  69. I’ve heard lots of positive feedback about Tailwind. I love Pinterest and got a lot of page views through it.

  71. I always tell people consistency is the key. And always share your blogs on other social media platforms.

  76. I’ll keep these in mind! I do always want to get better page views. I need to start using tailwind!

  77. These are some great tips, I’m hoping to try and up mine this year so I will have to keep these in mind. I definitely need to get back on track with tailwind.

  82. Consistency i guess is my biggest challenge. I work full-time, so there are a lot of times when I’m too exhausted to even check my blog.

  85. Thank you for this! I’m completely overwhelmed right now and this is helping me break down what I don’t know into manageable chunks. I need to invest more time on Pinterest and it sounds like Tailwind might be a useful tool for me. I’m still struggling with my niche.

  86. I wish I had a post like this when I first started blogging. I had tried to promote my blog only with Facebook, but I would only get my family and friends to see. Then I tried other social media platforms only to spend forever doing nothing. Thanks for sharing!

  87. I’ve been actually thinking of using tailwind but I can’t seem to start it. Will definitely use it this year. Great tips!

  88. This was exactly what I hoped to find, great advice for bloggers. I agree that quality is what is most important when posting online. All blog posts must deliver much value, like you do.

  90. I have to realize by now that it’s better to have quality posts rather than quantity. I was really hard to myself with regard to the posting in the last quarter of 2018, but now I feel like just having good quality posts per month… I’m not sure how many it should be for now but I guess I’ll get by.

  92. These are brilliant tips Joane, I really struggle to drive traffic to my website,I`m not very good with social media so I mostly depend on organic traffic.
    I recently learned about keyword research so I`m trying to do better keyword research to see if it will improve things.

  93. Good tips. I already do most of these. The hardest one for me is consistency. I write for a living so my freelance writing job keeps me pretty busy and that doesn’t leave a lot of time for my blog. But I’m working on changing that this year.

    1. Thank you, I totally understand I was so out of it last year and this year I really have to keep up and do my best to publish frequently. Thank you for stopping by.
