Blogging || 3 Insightful Tips To Grow Your Blog in 2021


Blogging - collaborative post

Every blogger wants to have greater outreach. However, nothing quite compares to the joy of seeing consistent growth in your web traffic or soaring sales through your blogs.

However, attracting and maintaining a broad audience can be quite an elusive goal.

Nevertheless, some bloggers seem to have unlocked the secret to consistent growth throughout the years. So, what truly distinguishes the great blogs from the average ones? Read on to find out.

Why Content Management Is Critical for Bloggers

The only difference between bloggers who enjoy an ever-growing audience and ordinary bloggers is content management strategies. Successful bloggers are intentional about growing their audience. They create a plan, break it down into actionable chunks and then actualize it.

So, how can you employ this same concept in your blog? Here are a few pointers to guide you.




Define Your Goals


Have you ever heard it said that if you don’t know where you are going, any path will take you there? Bloggers who hardly grow their websites are the perfect example of this saying.

If you don’t have any goals that you wish to accomplish through your blog, there is a good chance that you will experience stagnation. Take some time to write specific goals that you want to attain. These could be anything from increasing your foot traffic by a certain percentage to having more deals with particular brands.

Conduct Thorough Research


You have probably heard that you should know who your audience is. But in 2021, knowing your target demographic is not enough. You also need to know your psychographic.

This means that you should know what makes your audience tick and what makes them sad. Which problems do you intend to solve for them? For instance, are you creating a fun space where they can unwind after a long day or an informational site they can turn to for insightful hints on life?

Additionally, you should know how your audience consumes information best. For example, if your audience spends most of its time on YouTube and Instagram, audio-visual content is the best way to reach it. For such audiences, you will need a video content strategy to ensure that you reach them well.

Granted, knowing what your audience wants and how they want it is not an easy task. Therefore, you must be willing to conduct hours of in-depth research or even enlist a specialist market research team to do this for you.

Have a Calendar


If you are truly intentional about growing your audience, you will need a calendar to hold yourself accountable. The calendar will outline what your goals are and the timelines by which you intend to accomplish them.




If your goal is to score an influencer deal with a top company in your niche, your first step would be to contact the company. This enables you to learn what you need to score that deal. Then you go to work to attain the requirements by a specific date and get back to the company. After a particular period, you should be able to get that deal.

By and large, blogs that seem to be on an ongoing upward trend have one thing in common: a content marketing strategy. If you want your website to grow, you must be willing to create one as well. Start by actualizing the steps on this post and watch your blog grow by leaps and bounds.
