In episode 662, Christina Jolam and Nadia Shatila share how they were able to recover from devastating traffic loss following Google's Helpful Content Update (HCU). Nadia is the blogger behind Simple And Fraiche, a website dedicated to sharing wholesome recipes that utilize real foods with minimally processed ingredients. Her goal is to help people create recipes that not only fuel their bodies but also taste great. Christina Jolam helps home chefs get confident cooking seafood through her site, Weekday Pescatarian. The former communications consultant creates foolproof fish recipes that work whether you're shopping at a Portuguese fish market or your local grocery store. Cooking and writing from her adopted home in Portugal, she helps her followers master restaurant-quality seafood dishes and build a delicious, fish-forward lifestyle. In this episode, you'll learn how to endure long periods of traffic loss and decide what action you should take to successfully regain momentum. Key points discussed include: - Accept the reality of change: Google updates aren't personal; they aim to improve user experience. Adapting to change is key to long-term success. - Assess and improve your content: Review existing posts with a fresh perspective—focus on user experience, clarity, and overall helpfulness. - Strengthen EEAT (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness): Build credibility by showcasing expertise in your niche through an updated about page, author bios, and citations. - Optimize technical aspects: Ensure images, alt text, interlinking, and post formatting enhance usability and search visibility. - Diversify traffic sources: Relying solely on Google traffic is risky—invest in Pinterest, email lists, social media, and brand partnerships. - Update and refine posts regularly: Revisiting older content with new insights keeps your blog relevant and valuable. - Stay curious and keep learning: Instead of blaming algorithm changes, focus on learning, adapting, and finding new ways to serve your audience.

Today I want to talk about how to look up from your own blog with fresh eyes to see the changing landscape and new trends. And then I want to share the best ways to pivot I recommend you start implementing now to grow your blog income. The Changing World of Blogging Is Blogging Dead? The first question I get asked is “Is blogging dead?” And I'm going to say no, it's not dead but the blogging world is changing. Drop in Google Traffic As you know I talk to professional bloggers all the time, in all different niches, and recently I talked to four who all lost between 70-90% of their site traffic during these March Google updates. Now we all know that when Google pushes out updates we shouldn't change anything for about a month to see where the dust settles, but I don't think any of these bloggers have seen such big swings before. So to be honest they were all a bit shell-shocked. Show Notes: MiloTreeCart Book a FREE 20-minute strategy call with me MiloTreeCart Affiliate Program Catch My Party Anca from The Butter Table MiloTree Pop-Up App Join My Blogger Genius Email List Become a Blogger Genius Facebook GroupAll Blogger Genius Podcast Episodes Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: iTunes YouTube Spotify Google's Influence and SEO Shifts in Search Results So the first trend I expect to see is a decrease in overall traffic from Google for publishers or bloggers who are creating valuable content using best practices. Will we all be losing 70-90% of our traffic, my gut says no. In my experience, when Google makes changes they typically don't reverse course. For example, when we launched Catch My Party, a lot of our users were Etsy sellers so we used their API and imported their products to our site, each product got a separate page. We did this for ease. We weren't monetizing it. Google wasn't seeing these pages as duplicate content so if people were searching for these products they could end up on our site. We were making really good affiliate income, the Etsy sellers were happy because of all the exposure they were getting, it was growing our traffic, and then one day it all went away. Google de-indexed those pages and that traffic and income were gone. My point is that Google changes usually move in one direction. And what is Google facing right now? Existential threats. Remember, all they care about is people coming to Google in need information and end up finding it and having a good experience. Recently though, the overall feel is the search experience has been deteriorating so Google has been making changes. Showing more results from Reddit and Quora. This is because they want answers from “real people.” Google has found that sites have been gaming SEO to make money with affiliate marketing, for example, and Google has been cracking down. The Introduction of AI in Search Plus how is google going to implement AI in search. They are calling this the Google Search Generative Experience or SGE. Google is working on what this is going to look like, but one thing Google has said is their SGE will quickly provide users with the answers they need and not necessarily direct users to other sites or content. If their AI, Gemini, can give you better results on their GSE page than sending you off to a site they don't control, you better believe they will do that. In fact, I think it's already happening in the travel space. Plus for successful bloggers monetizing with display ads, as 3rd party cookies get phased out, advertisers not being able to track visitors, there will probably be downward pressure on ad revenue. Adapting to New Realities I was on a call with a food blogger this past week and I started painting this new picture for her and she couldn't believe what I was saying. She's an old school blogger. She doesn't really use AI in her and feels like her readers could definitely tell the difference. When I told her it's all about her prompts and she could prompt her AI to sound like her, she got really upset. I told her she should start getting serious about learning how to use ChatGPT, she was shocked. When I told her that some people will be using AI for recipes and not going to blogs she didn't believe me. She said, “Who's going to get their recipe from a machine?” That's not high-quality content. Then over the next two days I heard of two people who get their recipes from ChatGPT and think it's so easy. Do I believe everyone will be getting their recipes from AI, no. But it will become more common. I don't mean to be painting a bleak picture for bloggers and they should not abandon creating great blog content. I just mean to point out that change is a foot and the more willing you are to embrace it, the more success you'll have. What this really means is opening the aperture of how we see our business, our target audience, and our opportunities to serve them. I wouldn't be surprised if the goal of cranking out blog posts, and getting them to rank in Google so you can make a full-time income from ad networks MediaVine or Raptive will shrink in the long run. So I have 3 recommendations: 1. Diversify Your Traffic Sources Start investing in Pinterest again if you had given up on it in the past. It might take a couple of months to see ROI on it, but Pinterest static pins still drive traffic. I've heard of people going back to Facebook and using it to drive page views. I think this is especially true and platforms like Facebook are deprioritizing news. If you can build engagement with what you post on Facebook, you can drive traffic. I've even heard that people are starting to see traffic coming from other search engines like Bing. Bing is growing in search. So Google should not be your only play. And another place to invest in is growing your email list. Besides your blog, your email list is one of your most valuable assets. Because you own your email list. And all these people have said yes, to you showing up in their inbox. Think of that as them inviting you into their living room, so use it wisely. Give them value and let them get to know you. Focus in Email Marketing And remember, email marketing is the best and easiest way to sell. This also includes showing up on social media. Even if these platforms don't drive a lot of traffic, right now, it's about getting know. For you. Which leads to my next recommendation. 2.) Start Building Relationships With Your Audience Don't think of them as nameless, faceless, “traffic.” These are real people. Like you are a real person. And this is where your competitive advantage moving forward comes into play. With AI, even great content is becoming a commodity. I can get a recipe or DIY from AI now. But YOU are not a commodity. You are a problem solver. Start Focusing on Your Brand I did a solo episode on how you are now not just a content provider. You are an expert, selling your “vibe.” A few of the bloggers I spoke to this past week, didn't like this idea because they're used to hiding behind their blogs. But I'm going to say, this is the new reality. Get used to putting yourself out there, so people can get to know you. This is why you want to figure out your personal brand based on your expertise and vibe and start sharing it. And finally, my last recommendation: 3. Sell Solutions to Problems This is all about finding new income streams. We're moving from an information economy (with AI, information is becoming a commodity) to a people-focused economy. Of course selling digital products is probably the easiest way to get started. If you want to talk to me about how to do it go to milotree.com and book a free 20-minute Zoo call with me. I'll help you readjust your thinking as a blogger. I feel like this is what I do a lot of. And yes, starting with an ebook or guide or other types of digital downloads is a great place to start because they're easy to create and they provide passive income. But what we see in our data at MiloTreeCart is the people making the most money are selling memberships, coaching, live 1-hour workshops. And notice something about each one of those products. It's you showing up live with other people. Sure, if you want to create online courses go for it, but we're seeing mixed success with that. I feel like people are a little coursed out. Book a Call with Me to Talk About Digital Products And at MiloTreeCart, we have all the resources and step-by-step guides to launch these products with ease and without burnout. Just talk to me about it. There are opportunities out there. You just have to look for them. This is your time to connect with other bloggers in your niche, join Facebook groups, watch what bloggers in other niches are doing. In addition to selling digital products, you could also look into selling physical products like if you're a crafter selling products on Etsy. And another thing you can sell are affiliate products. If you don't want to start creating your own products and services, find affiliate products you can promote that will make you serious money. I'm not talking Amazon affiliate links. But I recommend you find affiliate products that pay a lot of money. I'm talking about software products that have generous affiliate programs, so think about the tools you use and maybe you could be promoting them to other bloggers. In fact, we sell military card, as you may know, for a lifetime deal of $349 and we pay our affiliates $100 per sale. For example. We sell MiloTreeCart for $349 right now, lifetime deal. And we pay our affiliates $100 a sale. April MiloTreeCart Affiliate Challenge And I'm even running a challenge in the month of April awarding an additional $250 bonus and a free hour-long coaching call for people who make 8 sales. You make 8 sales during the month you get over $1,350 in value. Here's how to join our MiloTreeCart affiliate program. Look for Other Income Opportunities And there are other opportunities out there. For example, I had my friend Anca from The Butter Table on the show. She's the food blogger who, like many new bloggers, didn't want to grow her blog the traditional way and wait two years to get any traction, so she figured out how to create user generated content for brands, how to pitch to them, and she's making a killing. She's thinking outside the box. And btw, she's teaching people how to do this. And if you say, I don't have any marketable skills, I”m going to say, go learn a new skill that you can monetize. And if you know how to do anything with AI, you can sell that as a skill. Maybe you can teach other bloggers how to use AI to write blog posts or emails. How Blogging Is Changing and What to Do Now Yes, the world of blogging is changing. What's worked so far, might not work as well in the future. Lean into your brand and your vibe. Your blog is not your brand. You are. Diversify your traffic sources and show up on social media even if it doesn't drive traffic because you want people to know you and you get to know people. It's no longer about traffic, it's about people. Invest in growing your mailing list. Sending emails is the easy way to create your superfans who trust you and will buy from you. Diversify your revenue streams and start selling solutions. You don't need millions of people. You just need a loyal audience who is interested in your blog niche. Find problems you can solve and charge for the solutions. It's a good idea to teach yourself new marketable skills that you can monetize. Find the opportunities (like great affiliate programs like MiloTreeCart) because there will be many new ways people will be making good money on the internet. And this is all good news. And show up as an empathetic human people can relate to. If you have any questions, reach out to me. I love hearing from you. If you're having a rough time, reach out to me. If you want to start selling digital products, definitely reach out to me and we'll get on a free call. Now look, no one knows what the future holds if they say they do, do not trust them. But I'm actually really bullish about the future of online business because it might not be about our blogs at a certain point. I'm not sure in the future people are going to be going to static web pages for information. But if you can show up as a real person with real solutions and willing to put in the hard work, you will win. I hope you found this episode helpful.

In my newest episode of the Blogger Genius Podcast, I had the pleasure of talking again with my friend and social media strategist, Lauren Litt, to discuss the current state of social media and what tactics you can put in place today to explode your business. It's not about followers anymore!

Join My Blogger Genius Email List Become a Blogger Genius Facebook Group All Blogger Genius Podcast Episodes Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: iTunes YouTube Spotify Building Authentic Connections on Social Media One of the key takeaways from our conversation is the importance of building real connections and relationships on social media. Lauren points out that social media success isn't just about going viral; it's about fostering a community and creating authentic connections with your followers. She emphasizes the marketing principles of repetition and the balance of giving versus taking, highlighting the need for consistent content and the importance of providing value to your audience. A Success Story: The Power of a Dedicated Audience Lauren shares an inspiring success story of a client who, instead of aiming for a vast audience, focused on a smaller group of engaged followers. This targeted approach led to a successful product launch, underscoring the power of relationship-building and engagement with a dedicated audience. Managing Social Media Stress We also touch on the potential stress and mental health impact of social media. It's common to feel overwhelmed, but Lauren reassures us that it's possible to approach social media in a manageable way. She advised starting with small, consistent efforts rather than succumbing to the pressure of doing too much at once. The Art of Engagement: Quality Over Quantity Lauren and I explore the nuances of engagement on social media, noting that it varies based on individual goals and content. She stresses that engagement is crucial, regardless of how often you post. For some, daily posting is necessary, while for others, like mom bloggers, one post a week with daily follower interaction can be enough. Three-Phase Engagement Strategy Here is Lauren's social media strategy: Review your profile to ensure it resonates with your ideal audience. Respond to comments and new followers to foster a sense of community. Reach out to ideal followers to build authentic connections. She encouraged responding to those who regularly engage with your content, even if it's just to express gratitude for their support. Embracing the Personal Touch We discussed the personal nature of engagement, with Lauren urging me to connect with those who consistently interact with my content. Authenticity is key, and making genuine connections can be as simple as acknowledging someone you regularly see on the street. The Human Connection in a Digital Age Lauren highlights the irreplaceable value of the human connection and personal touch in an age where AI and automation are on the rise. Creating a warm and welcoming environment for followers is essential. From my own experience, I've seen the shift towards meaningful connections with followers. Authenticity and transparency in messaging are crucial for providing genuine and valuable content to your audience. The Significance of Real Connections As our conversation wraps up, both Lauren and I emphasize the importance of building real connections and relationships on social media, rather than focusing solely on metrics and numbers. The impact of genuine engagement and the value of showing up authentically cannot be overstated when it comes to creating a loyal and supportive community. Exploring Social Media Platforms: Facebook's Resurgence and Instagram's New Features We also discuss the resurgence of Facebook and Instagram's new community feature as potential tools for building community. While Facebook remains a staple for live events and group conversations, Instagram's Threads feature and the new community option offer additional touch-points for engaging with followers. TikTok vs. Instagram Reels The differences between TikTok and Instagram Reels were also a topic of discussion. Lauren explains that TikTok caters to shorter attention spans and a younger audience, making it a valuable platform for those targeting users under 30. Conclusion Our insightful conversation sheds light on the evolving landscape of social media and its implications for online entrepreneurs and bloggers. The key is to focus on authentic engagement and leverage the platforms that best suit your audience and goals. Remember, it's not just about the numbers; it's about the relationships you build and the community you foster. So, let's continue to navigate this digit

Today I'm thrilled to share insights from my recent conversation with photographer and business coach, Chris Pieta on The Blogger Genius Podcast. Chris's story is not just inspiring; it's a roadmap for any creative looking to turn their passion into a profitable business. The Leap of Faith: Transitioning from Corporate to Photography Chris's journey began with a bold step away from the security of a corporate job to follow his passion for photography. Self-taught and determined, he mastered the art of capturing stunning visuals and landed his first client in product photography. This initial success was just the beginning, as he went on to collaborate with over 50 brands and built his reputation.

Join My Blogger Genius Email List Become a Blogger Genius Facebook Group All Blogger Genius Podcast Episodes Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: iTunes YouTube Spotify Embracing the Digital World: YouTube and Instagram Strategies Recognizing the power of social media, Chris expanded his reach by creating content on YouTube and Instagram. His goal was to join YouTube's partner program, but it was his dedication to consistently posting valuable content weekly that truly expanded his influence. On Instagram, he took a personal approach, engaging with followers to understand their needs and preferences, which helped him tailor his content strategy effectively. Balancing Creativity and Business: Insights for Creative Entrepreneurs Chris acknowledges the challenges creatives face when balancing their art with the business side of things. He encourages focusing on business aspects without losing the creative spark. His advice is to leverage creative expertise to increase income, which is a golden nugget for any entrepreneur. Monetizing Creativity: The Path to Financial Success During our conversation, Chris outlined two primary routes for monetizing a creative business: brand partnerships and selling digital products or coaching. He stressed the importance of being an expert and qualified to offer these services. Chris's own experience of growing his photography business while building a YouTube channel on the side is a testament to this approach which lead to his business growth and diversification. The Art of Pitching: Connecting with Brands Pitching to brands is an art, and Chris shares his personalized email sequence strategy. The focus is on capturing attention, establishing credibility, and providing a clear call to action. He also highlights the importance of understanding a brand's needs and offering solutions, which is crucial for building lasting relationships. Selling Digital Products: The Importance of Implementation Chris emphasizes selling implementation over information. The transformation should happen at the transaction, meaning that digital products should enable businesses to apply the knowledge effectively. He also believes in the power of trust and standing by your products, which is why he recommends offering a money-back guarantee. Trust and Karma: The Foundations of Online Success We both agreed on the importance of trust and standing by what you create. There's a sense of internet karma where putting out good stuff and being trustworthy leads to success. This philosophy is central to Chris's approach and Jillian's approach with MIloTreeCart, and something all online entrepreneurs should take to heart. Pricing Strategies: Catering to Different Budgets Chris shares his thoughts on pricing digital products, advocating for different pricing tiers to accommodate various budgets and levels of interest. He suggests starting with low-budget options and providing premium tiers for those who want more. It's about trial and error and having guidelines for different pricing tiers. Conclusion: The Entrepreneurial Blueprint Chris's journey from corporate to creative is more than just a story; it's a blueprint for monetizing your passion. His insights into brand partnerships, digital products, and the importance of trust are invaluable for any creative entrepreneur looking to grow their business.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Amy Reinecke and Jennifer Draper, the dynamic duo of blogging coaches and co-founders of Spark Media Concepts. Together, we delved into the evolving world of blogging, the art of monetization, and the strategies that will help you thrive in 2024. Show Notes: MiloTreeCart Catch My Party MiloTree Pop-Up App Spark Media Concepts The Ultimate Blog Podcast Personality Quiz: What Digital Product Should I Create? Join My Blogger Genius Email List Become a Blogger Genius Facebook Group All Blogger Genius Podcast Episodes Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: iTunes Stitcher YouTube Spotify The Journey to Blogging Success Amy and Jennifer's stories are a testament to the power of blogging. Jennifer's leap into the blogging world began in 2010 with a slow cooker recipe blog, capitalizing on a niche that lacked wholesome content. Her blog's quick traction is a nod to the less saturated digital landscape of the time. Amy, on the other hand, started with no intention of building a business. Her journey began on social media, sharing her health journey, which eventually led her to blogging and partnering with Jennifer. Their partnership blossomed into Spark Media Concepts, a venture that started almost serendipitously. It's a story of recognizing potential, seizing opportunities, and the importance of encouragement and mentorship. They've since shifted from doing the work for their clients to empowering them to take charge of their own blogging journeys. Monetization and the Importance of Adaptability In our conversation, Amy and Jennifer emphasized the need for bloggers to be adaptable and open-minded. With the blogging landscape constantly changing, it's crucial to understand your audience and make intentional decisions to grow your business. They shared their experiences with pricing changes and course restructuring, underscoring the importance of aligning pricing with the value offered and what the audience can afford. The Power of Niching Down Niching down is more important than ever. Amy and Jennifer highlighted the significance of understanding the specific needs of your audience. By focusing on a niche, you can become an authority in your space, which is invaluable in a crowded market. The Role of Podcasting and Challenges with Facebook Ads Amy and Jennifer also discussed the impact of their podcast, the Ultimate Blog Podcast, in driving traffic to their courses. They candidly shared the challenges they faced with Facebook ads, reminding us that not all marketing channels work for everyone and the importance of finding what works best for your brand. Email Marketing: The Trend to Watch in 2024 When asked about the trends for 2024, both Amy and Jennifer agreed on the importance of email marketing. With social media fatigue on the rise, they predict a shift towards more intimate connections through email lists. They advocate for a robust email marketing strategy, including welcome series, re-engagement campaigns, and a focus on providing valuable content that your audience wants to open. My Takeaway for Aspiring Bloggers As your host, I've seen the blogging industry evolve, and this conversation has only reinforced my belief in the power of adaptability and the value of your email list. In a world where social media can be fleeting, owning your email list is akin to owning a piece of digital real estate that no algorithm can take away from you. MiloTreeCart: Your Partner in Monetization Before I wrap up, let me introduce you to MiloTree Cart, the tool that can revolutionize how you sell digital products and services. With MiloTreeCart, you can set up memberships, digital downloads, workshops, coaching, and mini-courses in minutes.

We discuss how Adam monetizes his blog mostly through selling online cooking classes and a successful cooking class membership program. Adam shares insights on video production, promotion, and using Facebook ads to drive traffic and sign-ups. He also talks about his journey from working in restaurants to launching his own food truck, and eventually offering online cooking classes. Adam emphasizes the importance of understanding customer lifetime value (LTV) and customer acquisition cost (CAC), and the benefits of a membership model for generating recurring revenue. He encourages authenticity and understanding your audience for success. The Benefits of a Membership Model Adam and I discussed the benefits of having a membership model for generating recurring revenue. Memberships create a sense of community and provide a reliable source of income. They also eliminate the need for additional marketing expenses. Starting a Class or Workshop: It's Easier Than You Think Adam suggests that starting a class or workshop can be done with relatively simple equipment, such as a DSLR camera.

8 Free & Easy Ways to Increase Your Blog Traffic

Side Hustle Teachers

When it comes to your blog audience, there's no denying that size matters. While your blog traffic is not the most important thing when it comes to profitability, you've got to have someone to sell to. And if you've ever felt that your blog isn't growing fast enough, you're not alone. Before we start, remember that you don't need a huge audience to make a profit from your blog. When you have a well-defined, focused niche, your audience might not be as large as others, but they will convert better. That said, here's how to maximize your audience. Retaining Current Readers A lot of advice about increasing blog traffic focuses on getting new readers to your blog. And, yes, that's important. But it's far easier to get someone who's already engaged with and loved your blog to come back and read more than it is to convince someone new to give you a try. So, let's start with some tips and tricks that will increase your traffic by getting one-time readers to become loyal fans. 1. Stay true to your niche There's a reason that Module 1, Lesson 1 in Teacher Blog Academy is all about defining your niche. Your niche - the intersection of what you write about, who you write for, and how you help them - is your guiding star when you make any decision for your blog. What should I write about this week? Look to your niche. Which social media platform should I use to market my blog? Look to your niche. If your niche is finances for 20-something women with a focus on money mindset, stick with it. Don't suddenly start providing stock tips and your opinion about which Wall St. bankers should be in jail… That's not why your audience comes to you. It will confuse them and Google. And like Donald Miller says, “When you confuse, you lose.” 2. Email your list Your list is a group of people who like what you have to say, and want to hear more. They have self-identified themselves as potential superfans. But even loyal readers are busy. They need to be reminded to go check out your latest post. Think of it this way… I enjoy having a fresh, clean smelling house, but I still have an alarm on my phone to remind me to clean the litter boxes every Monday night. No matter how much people love your content, they need reminders when you put something new out. And by emailing them, you increase the chance that they come back and read your latest post. 3. Write great posts This may seem obvious, but there will be weeks when you feel like just phoning it in and publishing any old thing. While it may take extra time and effort, creating content that truly speaks to your audience's needs is worth it. Answer a question that your readers have. Even if you feel like you've answered it before. (You're a teacher, so you understand explaining things multiple times in multiple ways, right?) Address a mistake you see your ideal audience making. Give them something to think about in a new way… but remember that putting out content isn't the goal - helping your readers is. 4. Tweak your titles A blog title, whether it shows up on social media, Google, or your own website, should entice readers to click and find out more. A great title lives somewhere on that fine line between clearly stating what your post is about without giving it all away… It's a balancing act. Gaining New Readers Once you've done what you can to retain readers and get them coming back to your blog, it's time to think about how to attract new readers to your blog. 5. SEO Search engine optimization (SEO) is a behind-the-scenes process in which you make it easier for search engines, like Google, Bing!, and others to recommend your content to others. According to Neil Patel, “The main Google keyword ranking factors include search intent, search volume, quality of the content, number of backlinks, domain authority, and page loading speed.” This means that specific focus on using the appropriate keywords, producing great content that builds your authority, and upping you page speed, with something like SG Optimizer can all increase your visibility on search engines. 6. Market your blog “Build it and they will come.” is a movie slogan, not a growth plan. As of this writing, there are nearly 1.2 billion websites online, with more being shared every day. No one is going to accidentally stumble upon your blog. You have to tell people about it. This is called marketing. Social media is a fantastic - and free - place to start marketing your blog. When you publish a new post, share it on social media. Then, continue to share it on an ongoing basis so that people who are new to you, or didn't happen to see it the first time can find it. You can also make it easy for your readers to share your blog with plugins like Social Warfare. You can also use marketing channels like Pinterest and YouTube, but you can also guest blog, appear on other people's podcasts or shows, and even just updating your email signature can let people know about your site. 7. Expand your network No man is an island, even in the digital age. While you may be a solopreneur, if you want to grow your blog you're going to want help. Get to know other bloggers and build relationships that can further support your readers. Take advantage of the technology available to network in communities that wouldn't exist in the past, like Facebook groups, and start to build a reputation for helping others in your area of expertise. This is not an invitation to spam - even under the guise of helping - just offer guidance, advice, and support with no strings attached. 8. Give it time. The internet may be filled with stories of overnight successes, but behind that “overnight” success was a lot of patience and hard work. No one puts up a site and starts raking in millions the next day (unless they're doing some Breaking Bad level illegal stuff). Time allows Google to know and recommend your blog in searches. Time builds up loyal followers who tell their friends about you. Time lets you create systems and processes to handle more readers and customers. There's no rush. Again, blog traffic is not the end-all-be-all of blog metrics. You should see your page views go up month over month, slowly. There's only a problem if you're not seeing growth overall. In Teacher Blog Academy, I'll teach you how to make decisions that will help you build a profitable blog in less time, with fewer roadblocks. You can enroll now at teacherblogacademy.com
