Have you ever written a post that you thought would hit the spot with your readers, generate lots of interest and/or stimulate a great conversation and then find it fell flat on it’s face? I have – in fact it happens all the time for a variety of reasons: Sometimes your posts fall over because other stories break in the blogosphere and hog all the attention Perhaps you just had some bad luck and the right influential blogger didn’t happen to see your post (and spread the word) At other times its because

6 Reasons Your Blog Traffic Might Be Declining [And What to Do About It]

The post 6 Reasons Your Blog Traffic Might Be Declining [And What to Do About It] appeared first on ProBlogger. Photo by Luismi Sánchez on Unsplash I’ve read a few comments here on Problogger from bloggers who are feeling low because they’ve noticed a plateau or even a decrease in the traffic coming to their blog. While we all want to see our traffic rise the reality is that every blog has days, weeks and even months where traffic levels out or even decreases. This can be quite distressing for bloggers who have big hopes and dreams for their blogs. Today I’d like to look at some of the reasons a blog’s traffic might decrease and suggest some ways forward for each of them. 1.

The post Seasonal Traffic and How to Capture It for Your Blog appeared first on ProBlogger. Photo by Chris Lawton on Unsplash Don’t Miss Seasonal Opportunities on Your Blog for Spectacular Traffic. Read to the bottom of this post for an example of how I used the same content three times in 18 months to generate 50,000 page views on one post. One of the skills that I encourage bloggers to develop is to think ahead about what events might be coming up that will impact the niche that you’re writing about. The web is a fairly rhythmic place and every year there are waves of activity across search engines and other websites that are quite predictable. For example: In November and December every year millions of

Blog Metrics: Why You Need to Stop Focusing on ‘Vanity’ Stats

The post Blog Metrics: Why You Need to Stop Focusing on ‘Vanity’ Stats appeared first on ProBlogger. Photo by olieman.eth on Unsplash While having lots of page views, sessions, fans, followers and even email subscribers may feel good, they don’t actually tell you anything about the health of your blog. At a previous ProBlogger Mastermind, I shared a slide that seemed to hit a nerve with the group. I included this in my Mastermind session after having several conversations with bloggers that all started something like this: “Traffic is growing, and so is my social following and email list. But I’m not making any money”. For many, the monetization emptiness came from focusing on certain results and metrics (such as those I just

ERP Accounting Software: Preventing Fraud

Fraud costs companies millions of dollars every year.  However, for most accountants and auditors, catching or preventing fraud is not the focus of their job. We look at what’s involved, and what potential solutions may be available to help tackle the problem.   In a recent report, auditors were found to have detected only 4{7dabfd103aa443fce219eea47f0f346a11a54ce587a1a0cbb74f06b9f7a304ca} of occupational frauds committed,  and it is not difficult to understand why.  Consider the level of attention to detail managing and keeping tabs on such a wealth of numerical data requires. To then mine said data for suspicious activity is an incredibly complex task, and it does not end with the data.     A needle in a haystack  Source  It goes without saying that there is more than one way to commit fraud.

The post 5 Questions to Ask Before Quitting Your Blog appeared first on ProBlogger.  This post is based on episode 90 of the ProBlogger podcast. Over the past couple of weeks I’ve talked about two of the most important things you’ll ever do as an entrepreneur: starting, which is all about acting on your ideas rather than just thinking about them persisting, which is all about not giving up when things get tough. Unfortunately, not every idea you have will be a success, no matter how long you try to make it work. And so I’d like to wrap up this little series by talking about when you might be better off quitting. Digging in the wrong spot In last week’s post I told you about the Cavanagh brothers,

Why You Should Keep Going with Your Blog

The post Why You Should Keep Going with Your Blog appeared first on ProBlogger. This post is based on episode 89 of the ProBlogger podcast. Last week I talked about ‘starting’, and why it’s the most important thing you’ll ever do as an entrepreneur. This week I’m going to talk about the second most important thing you’ll ever do as an entrepreneur. And like so many of life’s lessons, there’s a story that captures the idea perfectly. But this story isn’t mine. It’s actually one I came across while researching a project in high school. But it’s one that really resonated with me, and I hope you’ll find it just as useful.
