Content Promotion

First and most important way of growing traffic to your blog is to promote your content. It is crucial to promote every pubished post for as much as you can and where ever you can. Always use the possibility to pin a post to your Twitter profile or on your Facebook page. Don't shy away from using the advantages of email marketing. Also, don't be afraid to experiment on other, smaller social media as they have 'filtered' audience.

Constant Publishing

If you don't publish on social media, you don't exist. That's a fact. But also, if you don't publish constantly you are invisible. You should focus on publishing a new blog at least once a week.

My recommendation is still ONCE A DAY if possible. When readers expect new blog posts from you, that will create a faithful base of followers that will result in higher blog traffic. If you fail to deliver, they will leave you and probably never come back.

Subscribe, Subscribe, Subscribe

You probably know that email list growing is probably the most important thing you can do for your blog. But, that doesn't give you the right to bore people to death with your emails, so you should focus on explaining WHY they should subscribe to your blog. Many people probably won't be aware of the benefits they get from subscribing to your email. Some research say that adding a pop-up can double your subscribers without significantly affecting your bounce rate.

Show You Other Content

Many people who visit your blog will come there only because of the one blog post they saw on some social media. Letting them see and read only that one blog would be a huge mistake, so make sure to optimize your blog in a way that other blog posts can be seen while the reader is going through the one he chose.

Suggestions

You should always leave a certain place on your blog, where your readers can express their desire about your future posts. If there is someone suggestion for you to write certain blog, there is someone who is waiting for it to be written.

Comments

Comments section on your blog will allow you direct contact to your readers, and that way you can establish a better connection with them. Always reply and respect every comment you get.
