how to grow your blog views

Today I am going to be sharing with you how I was able to grow my blog views by 80% in ONE month, and how you can too!

Blogging has quickly become my favorite past time ever since I started earlier this year. It’s a lot of hard work and takes time and effort to see it grow, but it has been bringing me a lot of joy!

When I first started blogging, I got a few views here and there, but nothing even remotely significant. Mind you, I had done approximately zero research about blogging, so my skills were pretty much nonexistent.

This post contains affiliate links. If you choose to purchase something using my link, I will receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. Thank you for supporting the blog! You can read my disclaimer here.

Then, I joined Twitter and met some of the nicest people ever (seriously, blogging community- you’re the real MVPs) and with their help, I was able to get some more views.

If you didn’t know, there are almost daily threads on Twitter where bloggers can all comment on one another’s posts which meant that I was able to get more views and more comments to my blog posts.

Awesome! But still, nothing revolutionary.

It wasn’t until I heard about utilizing Pinterest as a blogger that I decided to make an account. I already had one for personal use, you know, for pinning recipes I’d never try out, but I had to make a new one for my blog.

So I did. And I created boards and pins and more boards and pins. And nothing really happened.

Looking back on the pins I used to create, it’s no surprise why nobody was clicking on them. They were dismal, lol!

    Here’s what I did:

    • I used niche keywords in my name and bio
    • I branded my boards and created loads of them
    • I learned how to find high-performing keywords related to my niche
    • I started creating attractive pins
    • I learned how to word my pin titles to make people click on them
    • I learned a trick that allows me to pin hundreds of pins in a matter of minutes

    If you’re a blogger who doesn’t understand Pinterest, I was once in your shoes. Very recently, in fact.

    However, Pinterest really is all that and a bag of chips when it comes to self-promoting the crap out of your blog, and it is well worth getting familiar with.

    If you’d like to learn the exact steps I took to take my Pinterest from 4K monthly viewers to, as of today, 10+ million in a matter of 2 years, you’re going to love my Pinterest Perfect ebook. This ebook has been updated in 2021 to reflect all the recent algorithm changes.

    Pinterest Perfect is a 80+page Pinterest manual for bloggers and content creators.

    In Pinterest Perfect, you will learn everything you need in order to generate blog views on auto-pilot. All you need to do is set up your profile accordingly, and then follow the instructions when creating new pins.

    But don’t take my word for it.

        Yessss, I love Pinterest! Since doing a similar thing to you I’ve also managed to increase my views – up to 25k monthly views per month on the platform now and it keeps rising! I can’t wait to finally be able to purchase Tailwind too, as I’m looking forward to being able to schedule my pins and also join tribes.

          August 22, 2019 at 11:19 pm

          It really is worth it! Without Tailwind, I would only be posting a handful of pins every day. If you have loads of time to kill manually pinning your pins, then don’t get it. But if you have responsibilities and can’t be glued to your phone all the time, then it’s definitely worth trying out. Try out their free trial for a month and see if you like it!

        This is excellent info many many thanks! I am definitely not using Pinterest enough nor to my advantage. Also I’ve been meaning to look in to Tailwind – so now is the time to do it with the free trial. THANKS

          I was so hesitant to start working on it but it’s been the best thing I have done to boost my blog traffic!

        Her e-book is extremely helpful & she’s totally right about the amount of traffic that Pinterest can drive to a blog.
        Much love, Amanda (:

        Hi Mariam! Thanks for this excellent post! Has your Pinterest ebook been updated to reflect the 2020 algorithm change? For example, it doesn’t stress joining a ton of group boards, does it? Thanks!

          Hi Lily! Yes, it has! No group boards, and I also took out a few chapters mentioning Tailwind as repinning doesn’t work anymore for growth, and replaced it with my new pinning strategy. 🙂
