As a lot of you may know, I have been blogging on and off for over 4 years. It was kind of just a hobby for me as and when I felt like it, and it wasn't until the coronavirus lockdown until I started blogging regularly. After regular blogging since April 2020 and putting in more hard work, I am proud to announce that I received 10,700 blog views for July 2020. This is a massive success for me since in April, I had just over 1000 blog views for the month. Thank you so much to everyone who has been reading and supporting my blog over the last few months.
How did I achieve this?
I still wouldn't call myself an expert when it comes to blogging and I know that there are people out there with a lot more views than this. I am still always trying to learn more about it, but I'd just like to share with you how I got to 10k monthly views in the hope that I could help some current or aspiring bloggers.
It's also important to keep organised and you can do this by using The ULTIMATE yearly blog planner from Of a Glasgow Girl.
Sharing my blog everywhere
After writing and publishing a blog post, I would promote it over every social media channel. I will create an Instagram story of the post, prompting people to click the link in my bio to see my blog. I will also share the blog on my Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and sometimes LinkedIn if it's relevant to my audience on there.
The main source of my blog traffic comes from Twitter. I will share 3 blog posts a day on Twitter, including new ones and old ones. I schedule these posts using Buffer. Make sure to tag in retweet accounts when tweeting blog posts as the blogs will be retweeted and will reach more people.
Here are some of the blog post retweet accounts I tag:
- @bournemouthbloggers and @sotonbloggers - make sure you use your local equivalent of this if there is an account for it.
- @bloggerstribe
- @cosyblogclub
- @BloggersHut
- @theclique_uk
- @GoldenBloggerz
- @unpredictedpage
- @_kayleighzara
- @cosyblogclub
- @theclique_uk
- @BloggerDreamsRT
- @TRJForBloggers

- @LaurenyLoves

DeleteThanks for these advice!

Thank you! Twitter is such a good one and yeah I get some from Facebook too, I think its just family members and friends that don’t have any other social media viewing it through there for me though x
DeleteCongratulations!! That's incredible growth in just a few months! My Pinterest account has been marked as spam since June which kinda ruined growth for me x
