Are you a new blogger like me? If so, read below on how I got
20K views on this blog in my second month of blogging!

I started this blog on April 16, and published two posts on the rst day. The two posts have been
read by all of two people, me and my husband. Yea, I am de nitely new to the blogging world.

Since then, I’ve googled a bit for info on new blogger blog tra c and income, but, there isn’t much
out there. Most of the blog tra c or income reports are by seasoned, well-established bloggers
who have considerable tra c and money coming in from their blog.

This is a hobby/personal-time gig for me, so I’m all about maximizing the time spent on the right
avenues. I’m still learning EVERY.SINGLE.DAY. I want to be smart about how I promote my content
out there for all of the interwebs to read, judge, or gloss over; (or any combo of the above, haha!).

second month of blogging! CLICK TO TWEET

Don’t call me out or anything, I’m still guring it all out and feel like I barely have my head above the
blogging waters most days. But, I wanted to write this post for new bloggers to know that it is
possible to at least start somewhere, get decent tra c to your blog and even monetize in the early
months!

Post Consistently on a Schedule that Works for You

I think the biggest and most challenging part of starting a blog is creating content. Obviously,
content is king and without it, you wouldn’t even have a blog! But, taking it a step further, I was
mindful of not burning myself out quickly. My goal from the beginning and even now, 3 months in,
is to post twice a week. If I do more than that, great, but I’m happy if I get two new posts up on a
weekly basis. Quality over quantity is always my motto!

Focus on Your Niche, but Don’t be Afraid to Cast a Wider Net

I de nitely stick to two main topics: mom style and parenting. I typically don’t stray away from it,
especially since that’s what I enjoy writing about. But, in the same vein, I do think that my blog
crosses other people’s views, and not just moms. Even though the topics on my blog are pretty
niche-speci c, I try to write with a universal tone, something that can be connected to by more than
mom readers. Whether it’s 20-somethings that actually nd a cute accessory o one of my style
posts or someone who hopes to be a parent someday, I really try to be mindful of how I convey my
clearly niche-speci c topics and posts.
Use ALL THE SOCIAL MEDIA

Like I said earlier, I realize that content is King. But come on, PROMOTION is Queen, and she wears
the pants. I have an active social media outlet across most of the major platforms including
Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Google+, and StumbleUpon. Any time I post something,
I promote it across all of my SM platforms. You can stare and read your post by yourself, or your
can put your words out there! It’s the only way you’ll get tra c to your site! My biggest tra c
referrals are Facebook, StumbleUpon, and Instagram. I really need to work on my Pinterest game. I
know that is a HUGE factor (especially for mom bloggers) in boosting blog tra c.
Join Facebook Groups for Promotion

The number one factor in boosting tra c to my blog has been joining Facebook Groups for
bloggers. I’m an active member in 3 of them and a part of some others that I use if I have the time.
Promotion between bloggers is obviously a big tra c source. I also love the knowledge,
relationships and camaraderie I’ve cultivated from these groups. I highly recommend you join
them:

Naptime Nation
Growing Social Media for Bloggers
Grow Your Blog

Don’t be Afraid to Submit your Posts to Bigger Publishers

On a whim, I decided to write Arianna Hu ngton after reading this helpful post, from my blog
goddess friend Chrystie V. I was accepted later that day and given access to the blog platform. I
haven’t published anything since my rst post. But, I’m doing that deliberately to post something
that I feel is Hu Po worthy and something I can promote and get featured on their main page.
Regardless, being published on the Hu Po blog and featured on one of their sections was so cool!
(And good for blog tra c too!)

Participate in Link-Ups & Guest Post

I’ve participated in a couple of link-ups for style posts and guest posted on other mom blogs. It’s
been a great experience both to network and also gain organic tra c to my green blog! It’s been a
great way to connect with other bloggers, which is my favorite part of it all!

And the very best for last, here’s an actual snapshot of my Google Analytics:

I was just under 20K views at 19,547 in June, but that doesn’t t well into a blog post title or graphic.
So there you have it! Haha, but seriously though, here’s the snapshot to backup my claims of page
views and such on such a green, new blog!

As far as monetizing in the early months, I’m still trying to organize my thoughts into a helpful post
for new bloggers. But, please know that monetization IS possible. In the last three months I have
made money from sponsored posts, a (big) opportunity from a PR rm, a liate links, ad revenue,
and free products. Be sure to subscribe to the blog (to the right in the sidebar!), there will be a
future post to come on my monetization thus far!
 Are you a new blogger? What is your biggest conundrum? (I have many!)

Thanks Sarah. Yes! I have been able to monetize from sponsored posts, ads, a liate links, and a post I
wrote for a company (PR Firm reached out to me via blog). I’m hoping to get a post on that going soon!

I love the quote “content is king, but promotion is queen.”

I always feel weird about promoting, but now I am de nitely going to try to start promoting myself
more.
Thanks for the great post!

I stumbled across your blog via a group and congratulations! I have been blogging for a year and still
haven’t crossed the 20k threshold so I commend you!!! I hope to post more content. It’s kind of hard
to post two things a week for me when I only have time (and money) for one (fashion blogger here). I
do agree though, quality posts over quantity. That’s my focus.

This is awesome you are way more ahead of the game than me. I started in Dec/Jan and I too try to

Congrats mama
