Most Popular Posts of STH 2016

 

I can not believe that 2016 is coming to a close. I know I always say this, but 2016 flew by. I honestly do not know where the year went. I feel like we just started 2016. Does anyone else feel the same way?

Last year I did a round-up of my most popular posts and I found that my readers really enjoyed it. So I decided to do another one. It was also really helpful to see what post performed well for future content planning. I hope you enjoy my 2016 round-up.

Blogging & Social Media

How To Use Stumble Upon To Increase Blog Traffic // I know when I first heard about Stumble Upon, I had no idea how to use it. After doing a lot of research, I found out that it’s really easy to use. I also found that there were a lot of other bloggers like myself, who had no idea how to use it. I got a lot of great feedback on how this post helped other bloggers.

Things You Should Be Doing When You Do Not Have A Post Scheduled // As a blogger we constantly have to promote our content, in this post I shared five things to help increase traffic to your blog when you do not have a post scheduled.

5 Things I Wish I Knew Before I Started Blogging // If I would have known how much work and dedication goes into blogging ahead of time, I would have probably did a lot more investing in the beginning. Blogging is hard work and it’s no joke.

Why I Read Your Blog // There are a ton of posts out there in the blogging community about “Why I Do Not Read Your Blog”, so I decided to take a more positive approach for this post. As bloggers we should be cheering each other on instead of trying to bring each other down. Don’t get my wrong, I know my blog is not meant for everyone and that’s okay. We all read blogs that appeal to us but still it’s always nice to be positive in the community.
