When I first started blogging, I had no idea how to increase blog traffic.
How was I supposed to get people to actually come to my website and read what I wrote? I would put so much energy into creating the best posts that I could and no one would see them. I guess I thought, if I wrote it, and put it out there, people would find it. And I was wrong! No one came. But why would they come if there was no way for anyone to know I had published a blog post?
Does this sound familiar? Are you working and working and feel like you are not bringing in the traffic you deserve? I finally found the magic answer that increased my blog traffic more than 300% in just one month. And I think it could be highly beneficial for you as well.

How did I do it? How does someone increase blog traffic?
Well, I did a lot of research into what other successful bloggers are doing. I was looking for any blogger who had enough traffic coming to their website that they were able to make money with their blog. I figured if they had this much traffic, they must be doing something right and I wanted to emulate their strategies.
I found one thing in common with all these bloggers.
They were using Pinterest strategically. I actually didn’t know there was startegy to Pinterest. That is, until I started blogging. And it’s not just about pinning a lot of pins or even pinning your own stuff. There is so much more to Pinterest than I would have thought. Now I can’t explain all the algorithms of Pinterest, but I can tell you exactly what I have done to increase my blog traffic.
