If you’re looking to earn an income from your blog or make a huge impact, getting massive blog traffic should definitely be one of your goals. Here are a few proven ways to do it.

Use Pinterest Effectively

Pinterest used to be one of the biggest secrets to scoring massive blog traffic. Now, most bloggers are aware that sharing their posts on Pinterest and joining group boards in their niche can help boost their page views.

It’s recommended that you get start promoting your blog posts on Pinterest from day 1 and use the platform effectively. Complete your profile, create a board just for your best blog posts, join relevant group boards, and use the Pinterest analytics tools wisely to track growth.

When she started her blog, she only received about 1,000 page views per month. Within the first month of using Pinterest, her page views jumped to 17,000 per month and within a year of using Pinterest, her page views climbed to 240,000 views per month.

Write Something Viral

Everyone wants their content to go viral but few ever accomplish this goal. In rare occasions, your content could go viral and bring tons of traffic to your site.

In other cases, you have to be strategic and work for it. Make sure your post is viral-worthy by using gripping headlines and either a unique or relatable angle.

Focus on being authentic, getting personal, and evoking some emotion from the audience. You want them to feel something after reading your content whether it’s anger, motivation, sadness, or joy. That sets a strong foundation for you to get more social shares.

Then, you need to do your part in promoting it on social media and on other sites like Medium, Stumble Upon, Huffington Post, etc. Here’s a great example of how a writer helped his post go viral by asking a big company he mentioned in the article to share it on Facebook.

Write Longer Posts

In the past, writing short and brief blog posts used to be the trend. Now, it’s all about lengthy blog posts because that’s what Google wants to see.

In terms of SEO, Google is looking to rank long-form content that is better and more valuable than other short and spammy content. Plus, extending your blog posts is a great way to provide more value and examples to your readers.

Natalie Bacon, who receives around 250,000 page views per month, stated in one of her SEO blog pots that it’s best to make a majority of your blog posts anywhere from 1,800 to 2,000+ words and landing pages at least 500+ words.

Consistently Offer Value

The final proven way to get massive traffic to your blog is to consistently offer better value to your readers. Determine who your target audience is and survey current readers who seem engaged.

Ask them what topics they’d like you to cover and what they need help with. Then, offer up lots of value with your blog post content. People will stop, read, and share because they are impacted and learned something new. With this method, it takes time and consistency to start seeing results.
