You have created a blog, created great content but this is only half the journey in blogging. If no one reads your blog, your efforts may seem futile. So promotion is the key to success. One of the most important goals at this stage is to increase blog traffic, because only with more readers can your content truly make an impact. Even if your blog is on Blogger, you can get a lot of traffic using the right methods and can also earn a good income by increasing traffic.
Let’s know step-by-step how to increase blog traffic using social media, online platforms and smart strategies, especially for beginners.
Why is it important to promote your blog?
You might be thinking or you might be getting these questions.
“Why am I not getting visitors?”
“How do people find my blog?”
“What else should I do besides writing?”
But in the beginning, you will have a problem with traffic and everyone has a problem. Because it takes time to rank your blog on Google, and you don’t have loyal visitors yet.
So you need to share your blog where your audience already spends time like on social media and other platforms.
