 “My #1 struggle with my blog is consistently putting out content and seeing traffic grow.”

Many people are quite productive with getting new content out there but then wonder why traffic isn’t coming. It’s important to spend as much time promoting the content as you do creating new one.

Pinterest, for example, is a great source of traffic for bloggers and even with a few short posts (but on good topics) you can get traffic. If you’re utilizing Pinterest, there’s a lot to learn about it. But optimizing your profile and boards as well as creating beautiful Pins (5-6 for each blog post) is a must.

How many posts do you currently have?

Because many people have plenty of content and wait till they have more to monetize. But you can monetize from day 1, especially with affiliate marketing.
