how to drive more traffic to whatever
it is you are promoting, selling, or writing about

While I may not be an expert (and
quite possibly a hopeless granny regarding
most technical issues), I am in the trenches
just like you, coming up on my first year
of blogging for business.
By the way, at the time I first became more serious
about optimization stuff and growing this blog in 2016,
I had approximately 90,000 monthly blog views.
My monthly views in the past month?
About 300,000 views.
While I have blogged since 2008, I
only became intentional about monetizing
and growing an audience in the fall of 2016.
I love sharing what I learn because there's plenty
of room for more success and and growth online
for everyone...no need to hoard good advice and tips
for what's working as if it's all a competition!

I get emails all the time from folks in the design niche
who say "Thanks so much for sharing what you are
learning--it's such a big secret with so many bloggers!"
And I sort of get it.
A lot of bloggers spend good money on consultants
and courses to learn to grow their audience and
don't see why they should offer for free what
they paid for or worked hard to discover.
But blogging is lonely, and I want
to be more helpful since I struggled and
found others in the design niche so hushed
about sharing what was working.
My hope is in sharing these tips and advice,
some of you will enroll in the courses for which
I have experience and for which I am an affiliate.
I'll earn a few pennies while you will
pay nothing extra and will be increasing
your traffic and profits.
