“Why is my SEO not gaining me any Organic Traffic?”
Organic Traffic it the big buzzword everyone starting Blogging that is Bootstrapping their business wants to get a piece of.
You’ve probably asked yourself questions like…
How do i get traffic to my website when i’m just starting out?
What is the best method to use to get free traffic to my blog or business?
How long does it take to grow my blog or brand organically?
These are all the questions people trying to build their online presence ask themselves.
Alot of times people seem to feel getting Organic Traffic is just a matter of doing some SEO and waiting which can make new Bloggers feel like they have no control.
Organic traffic is more than just waiting for a search engine to rank your website for Keyword.
Getting and growing your Organic Traffic is an Active Process.
A process you have more control over than just using SEO and thats what makes the methods in this article so great is because you can control how fast you grow Organically through work instead of waiting.
Organic Traffic as anything unpaid.
What i’ve come to realize is that a lot of new bloggers see it as traffic that ONLY comes from a search engine but it’s not the whole truth.
Organic Traffic is highly dependent on how you can push Free Traffic from platforms such as Pinterest, Instagram, or Tumblr to get more eyeballs on your contents instead of depending solely on SEO and Search Engines to index your site in hopes that the forever changing algorithm finds favor with your content.
Utilizing Social Media as you start building out your brand is the defining factor in how fast you grow.
Using social media is like using a backdoor to get your content in front of your target audience
That’s what makes Social Media so great, it gives everyone willing to be Consistent and produce Quality Content a chance to build a brand without having to pay your way to the success.
Not to say that Paid Traffic is bad its just that when your first starting out most beginner bloggers and brands have a tight budget and I’m here to tell you that you can still grow a piece of valuable Digital Real-Estate without relying solely on a Search Engine.
Their is a back way to Boost your numbers to help the Search Engine Algorithm see that you are a reputable relied upon source of amazing first page worthy content and that is to build up your reputation through three of my favorite Social Media Platforms that help you grow your Blog rapidly and organically.
Youtube ,Instagram, and Pinterest!
These three platforms skyrocketed my growth on my first Blog to $7000 a month within the first year i started Blogging.
Here’s how i used each one.
Traffic from Youtube
A Youtube channel is a great way to drive traffic to your blog or affiliate offers.
When someone goes on Youtube their either their for one of two things to be entertained or to learn something.
Your job as a blogger is to educate someone on a topic in an entertaining way, now wait a minute doesn’t that sound a lot like what your doing when Blogging… Ok now you got it, all you have to do is make parallel posts in video form of the blog post you already created thats what helped me reach a wider audience and a different type of audience and was a great way to present Affiliate offers as well and grown into another stream of income for your Blog.
Think of these Social Media platforms as extensions of your core brand.
You want to use these platforms as Magnets to your core business which is your Blog.
Traffic from Instagram
Instagram has a bitter sweet relationship in the Blogging world
Some bloggers love it and some hate it,
I have personally built small pages (between 10k and 15k followers) for my blogs that sends me Quality Traffic.
The thing you need to know is Instagrams magic is in the comment section
It’s that simple, getting your followers to engage is more important than getting likes, this is tried and true for Instagram.
You need to be making content for Instagram, whether stories or hard posts; that entices your audience to interact with you in the comment.
Ask them a question, do a Q/A’s in the comments, ask what they want to see from you, what they have questions about.
Make your audience feel valued!
Keep them involved in your content, that is how you get them off Instagram and onto your blog.
Traffic From Pinterest
Pinterest has the most quality traffic out of all the three because its a Search Engine.
The key to Pinterest Marketing Success
- Create a Pinterest business account separate from your personal account
- Adding a Description to your profile bio
- Adding a tagline next to your profile username
- Create Quality Pins with keywords rich descriptions
- Creating Quality Boards with keyword rich descriptions
- Joining Quality Groups Boards and contributing Quality pins

Pinterest business account
You want to make a business account so that you have access to analytics and and advertising if you ever want to use paid Pinterest ads or promote pins treat your blog like a business by using a business account.
Adding A Profile Description And Adding A Tagline
You need to add a profile description and tagline next to your username with keywords in it, remember Pinterest is a Search Engine so adding relevant keywords wherever you can boosts your profile and gives people looking at your profile an idea of what your brand/blog is about (be concise and use keywords their is a character limit).
Create Quality Pins
Create quality pins with readable text and colors that help you stand out but to be clear don’t make pins with obnoxious harsh colors it will turn people off and have the opposite effect that you want.
These Pins should be leading people to your blog and to help push them to click that read more link you need to have a keyword rich yet enticing description, don’t just write a list of keywords as a description.
Take a piece of your blog post or write what will be talked about in your blog post make them interested in reading more.
Creating Boards and Join Group Boards
Creating boards is a great way to show visiters to your Pinterest page what your brand and blog is all about repin quality pins to the appropriate boards and create a board with just your own original pins, repin your original pins to your other boards and make sure your original pin board is the first board on your page; makes it easier for people to see your content first.
Join quality group boards and by quality i mean active with moderate contributor count, don’t join general boards or boards that aren’t focused it will not help you .
Remember you want to get your pins in front of the right people.
Do not Spam
This is so important you want to be a quality contributor to group boards, repin other pins from the group board pin some of yours be consistent but don’t spam.
Be consistent
The main thing that applies to growing anything is to be consistent and create quality content that helps people, create quality and you’ll have people swarming your blog.
Driving organic traffic to your site is more about being consistent with quality content as well as putting yourself on multiple platforms(between one and three) and mastering them.
Growing your blog takes work but its not impossible, implementing these methods will guarantee growth, if others can do it so can you.
