Follow these tips to increase blog traffic now.

1: Publish Posts More Frequently to You Blog

Many bloggers fear to fail or being criticized. This fear tends to manifest as a blanket obsession with getting all things perfect before you write and publish a post. Getting all things perfect means 1-2 posts weekly if that.

Imagine if the editors at espn.com said contributors could only write 1 post per month? Imagine if Mark Zuckerberg said only 1 Facebook update per week, per user? Content drives serious traffic! Publish it. Not in a mad dash of course but do publish helpful content more frequently to boost traffic.

I have not checked my metrics in many months but someone told me earlier this year Blogging From Paradise registered 44,000-page visits monthly. Why? I ramped up blog post frequency over the past year. A few years back I was getting 300 visits daily. Big difference.

Be abundant. Post quality content frequently. Develop the mindset of a millionaire blogger. Position yourself to succeed.

2: Guest Post on Blogs from Your Niche

I had been writing and submitting 5 or more guest posts daily for the past month.

Yesterday, I asked my buddies that if they wanted guest posts to simply give me login credentials and I will happily become a prolific, helpful contributor for them.

A few rocking bloggers took me up on my offer. Here I am.

Guest posting is a simple way to increase blog traffic because you leverage your presence quickly. Write and submit quality guest posts on blogs in your niche to drive interested readers to your blog. I guest post mainly on blogging tips blogs.
