How to Explode your Blog Traffic

September 3, 2018 Comments : 22

Want to explode your blog traffic and get more people to read your blog? Check out my review of a simple e-course that will have you change the way you use Pinterest.

When I started a blog I was completely clueless on how I was going to get people to read it. I spent hours creating posts that of thought were amazing only to eagerly check my stats later to find that nobody was reading it! What was I doing wrong? Come to find out there are two major things to help extend your blog reach that I was forgetting about completely. One of them was:

Isn’t Pinterest all about adding ideas to your future wedding or baby boards and finding your next meal idea? As I would soon come to find out, Pinterest is far more then just pinning ideas that you find amazing but a way to reach a further audience with your blog. So where to start? I was provided the opportunity to take this course.

This course was given to me for free in exchange for my honest review, however all opinions expressed are my own. You can find my full disclosures HERE

Prior to delving into this e-course I knew minimal about Pinterest and how to use it to boost my blog. I had a business Pinterest page and I was pinning my pins sporadically throughout the week. This course showed me that are multiple opportunities that I was missing in how my page was set up in order to make it look more appealing as well as provide more chances for people to click on my pins. Not to mention the importance of group boards and which was to join and how to join them as well.

Other important topics that the course covers was how and why to join Pinterest group boards and the importance of pinning consistently throughout the day. I for one am terrible about getting on Pinterest and pinning all day everyday. Thankfully, there is a suggestion for that!

It is important to note that Ell talks about Tailwind and how to use that to your advantage to get your pins seen by more people on Pinterest. She delve into detail on how to use this pin scheduler as well as explains what a Tailwind tribe is and how to use them. I have yet to capitalize on this information but it is my next step in boosting up my Pinterest views and subsequently my blog views.

Since taking this e-course my monthly Pinterest views have increased dramatically (up to 13K from only about 1K) and I have seen more and more traffic to my website. I still have a lot of work to do in order to really capitalize on all Pinterest has to offer but this course gives you all the tools you need in order to up your Pinterest game.

Small sampling of what this course will do:

Educate you on how to set up your Pinterest

 

Teach you how to create the perfect “pin” and a little “pin” refresher trick that is genius

Explain what group boards are

Explain what Tailwind is and how to use it to your advantage

What this course won’t do:

It will not explode your blog traffic overnight. Creating traffic to your site takes hard work and patience but if you use this e-course the visits to your site will increase dramatically as I have seen mine do so over the past month.

If you are looking to up your Pinterest game and get the views that your awesome blog posts deserve check out the e-course at ELLDUCLOS E-course. I know you won’t be disappointed!

Also check out Ell’s blog at ELLDUCLOS because she is pretty awesome and has tons of helpful hints and tips on how to grow your blog.

    I just started Tailwind and it has been great! I did the free trial and now that my free scheduling for pins is up, I want to buy it!

    I have always used pinterst in a creative sense and I love it. I only realised recently that it could benefit my blog. I gained a lot of traffic from a post about Harry Potter cupcakes!

    I’m kind of sad to see what the course won’t do. I was looking for an answer to all of those things! 😪 Lol
    Okay, so really…nice little blog post! 13K from 1K is pretty good! I would take it. I haven’t gotten to the whole Tailwind thing. Mainly because they don’t have a free option.
    When I clicked on ” ELLDUCLOS E-course” it took me to a page that said the connection was insecure.

    Hmm, I keep hearing great things about pinterest, but I’m reluctant to add another social media platform to the list to manage. Plus all my sites images are landscape style so converting them to suitable pins is a job in itself! Is the traffic from Pinterest really that good?

A little in my feels this weekend with Mother’s A little in my feels this weekend with Mother’s Day and officially being past the halfway point in this pregnancy. 
Time really does fly by so fast that it’s hard to keep up and before I know it, a new little one will be joining our small, crowded home. Trying to get as much stuff done before that happens including adding storage options where I am able to. 
Thankful to @nathanjames furniture for helping to add just that while being stylish with this beautiful Kova storage unit. Link in my bio to get one for your home. 

How do you organize your small spaces to keep your sanity with kids?! I need all the tips!

As a mom, one of the scariest things is to have a As a mom, one of the scariest things is to have a sick child, and as a nurse, I know how disruptive health issues can be on the lives of children and teens. Thankfully The Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital at Maine Medical Center is close by and provides high quality healthcare to the many children of Maine, and today, BBCH became one of the first hospitals in the country to receive the Connecting Joy grant from the @dunkin Joy in Childhood Foundation! #DunkinPartner
 
Maine’s Dunkin’ franchisees have given more than $500,000 to The Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital since 2012, mainly through the annual Dunkin’ Iced Coffee Day campaign fundraiser (taking place on May 25th this year!). On Dunkin’ Iced Coffee Day, $1 from every iced coffee sold at participating Maine Dunkin’ locations will be donated to the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation to bring joy to kids at BBCH. (Excludes Cold Brew and Nitro Cold Brew.)
The $87k @JoyInChildhood grant will help bring joy through gaming experiences to pediatric patients with the hope of normalizing their stays at hospitals. Children that are living with chronic illness or dealing with a hospitalization are at greater risk than their peers for the impact of stress and anxiety. Distraction is a healthy coping mechanism for kids and teens to disengage with the hospital environment. Gaming provides the perfect escape to play, relax, laugh and experience joy.This grant will have an immediate impact by adding structure and staff support for gaming as part of the hospitals’ Child Life Program. 
Today, a Dunkin’ sampling truck provided free small, iced coffees and Munchkins to more than 1,000 Maine Medical Center employees in Portland and Scarborough. 
 
Dunkin’ is not only supporting the children of Maine, but the healthcare workers too. So, make sure to grab an iced coffee at Dunkin’ on May 25th to help support these wonderful programs as well!

A little over halfway there. Even though hitting A little over halfway there. 
Even though hitting these milestones feels slight reassuring, I know I won’t fully be able to breath until this little one is out and healthy. Even appointments bring about their own set of fears that something may be wrong. For now, I’m just taking it day by day and week by week and having hope that everything will be ok.

Any other moms or moms to be out there forgo the weekly pictures? I just can’t ever get my shit together enough to remember to take them. Tell me I’m not the only one.

Sometimes I feel like I am the only one that doesn Sometimes I feel like I am the only one that doesn’t enjoy pregnancy on this platform.
I love the end result and am so grateful to be creating a new life but lately I have had more bad days then good days. 

I’m exhausted, sick and barely have enough energy to get through the things that I need to do let alone the things that I used to enjoy like working out. The stress of trying to figure out how I’m going to get through the next 18 weeks has been overwhelming to me lately. 
I will still share the joys but I also think it’s more realistic to share the downfalls too so hopefully hearing that not all pregnant women glow 24/7 can give those who are struggling as well someone to relate to.
