Make a post routinely and consistent are the big efforts which every blogger have to deal with. No matter if you are a newbie blogger or an expert blogger this problems always the biggest thing. Well, actually it’s natural since our ideas and inspirations are limit within a certain time and we need to recover to gain something new. Due to the lack of ideas, we always feel bored and have no spirit to write something to post.
This problem is getting worse, especially for those bloggers who don’t have any passion in writing (well, to be honest… I’m in). It seems that every single day feels like I’m going to quit writing for my blog.
Obviously, it’s no longer a secret that the more we’re consistent in writing and posting for our blog the more traffic we’ll get. However, it doesn’t mean that being consistent is the only way to drive visitors to our blog or website. You can yet drive more traffic to your blog or at least keep your visitors stable even you are infrequently do a posting to your blog.
Ok, what’s the secret behind? Here we listed 3 ways keep your blog traffic high without having any frequently posting.
Make Some Or Whole Evergreen Content
Basically, this term refers to a content (blog posting) which is always relevant for anytime and any readers. Usually this content isn’t telling about a specific event which is going to be happening only for certain time.
Most evergreen contents will be always relevant even though it’s read by different time or period. Since it’s always relevant or long lasting, that’s way this content being the main reason why blog traffics will always stable or even improving although you don’t post consistently on your blog within a week or month.
Here are a few example of blog content (article) which is counted as an evergreen content:
- How to do something or tutorials
- Description or definition of particular thing
- A list of some relate things
- And many others
These sorts of articles are telling about how to do something in right way or the step by step of doing particular stuff. Clearly, these kinds of articles will be always relevant towards the reader.
This kind of content is an article which is explaining the meaning or it can be the concept of a particular thing. For instance, this blog discuss about blogging, therefore I can write a posting about “What is a blog?”.
Perhaps you wonder that these sorts of articles have are already provided by Wikipedia, what’s the point we make the same stuff? We’ll just leave one step behind, won’t us.
Indeed, that most definition or description articles are all already there, however it would be better if we can explain something using our own style and of course we can deepen or add some of our perception towards it.
This kind of article is showing a list of particular thing which is the one point to the others point having a closely related in a same topics or theme. Usually, you’ll find a number right at the initial title of the content (just like what you’re reading right now “3 ways keep your blog traffic high without make consistent posting”).
There are still quite a lot articles which can be counted as Evergreen content. The most crucial part you have to keep in mind, make sure that your contents are having its target visitor or potential visitor who will searching for it or you will end up making a worthless Evergreen content.
Update Your Current Contents
Most blogger think that in updating contents means have to publish new blog post, whereas updating can also be mean as renewing our current contents. It’s worth it, whilst we can renew our blog contents once we have no idea to write something new. For instance, making your contents become better by adding the information or correct the typo or misspelling.
There will be some benefits by updating your current contents, listed below:
- Make your contents’ quality better.
- Get a good rank on search engine since Google will prefer to blog which has good quality contents.
- Due to good rank, automatically it can drive more traffic to our blog.
Raise Your Blog Promotion
Last but not least, the most crucial point but most bloggers ignored, promote blog frequently. Blogging isn’t just about how many article you can write, but it’s also matter about how frequent you can promote your blog.
If we have some Evergreen content, the next step to take is better promote our blog intensively to drive and get more reader than making another contents again and again. I thought it’s far more effective.
In brief…
It’s obvious that you don’t need to post on your blog wildly, just thinking the quantity without giving more attention to its quality merely for driving more visitors. However, it doesn’t mean you can reduce your productivity in posting.
If you think that you are able to meet 5 up to 10 articles within a single day, it is better. But if you think you are not capable to meet it (for a reasonable reason due to the lack of ideas), better don’t force yourself and use the 3 ways keep your blog traffic high without make consistent posting that we’ve discussed above.
