Let me be honest with you, Health Blog might not be as competitive and saturated as Celebrity/Entertainment blog but you will make more money in a short time and have better brand with entertainment blogs than Health blogs.

This is not to discourage you or to rule out the Health niche but believe me, if you put half the effort on Entertainment/Celebrity niche you will likely make double the amount plus the fact that it is quite easier and cheaper to build a brand in entertainment niche.

That said, I am wondering how you are just getting just 100 visits daily despite paying for Facebook ads, believe you will get 3 times the visit if use the amount on entertainment niche.
The player here is build your own Brand, apply a few techniques to get comments, work hard and see the result. There is a service I will like to start for serous minded Nigeria blog owners. With the service they will get many comments which is a big source of ranking.
In Search Engine optimisation today, Google weighs contents more than any other factors. Imagine having 200+ comments in some of your published contents, how will it feel?
I will help you but not free, I will charge you for the service but I guarantee you the result. Let me know if you you are interested.

Babe
one year 50 topics with 20 vists per day that goes up to 100. You should be happy with that. Will you visit a site regularly if it takes a week to update compare to another with daily post? Your answer to that question should give you an idea. Health niche is wide. Try to be unique in your niche. In less than 3 months your page will be on Google first page. I started around 20 march and today, half my post are on Google first page. Practice seo. Entertainment is saturated o. You require constant post unlike health post that most will be ever green

Hi, I most say your response confuses me a bit? Why should I be happy with that number of visits? I know it's not good enough. I certainly cannot post everyday for health niche, because I also like to put up something I really feel like writing about without too much copy and pasting from elsewhere. You said health niche is wide, I should try and be unique in my niche? How do you mean? Is health not a niche in itself? You started around 20th March... is that this year? And what area do you blog in pls? Just that yu said different things I am not quite sure the direction you are pointing to. Thanks as you clarify.

Brightgem:
I want to know what the sum of 50k or above can help my blog with if I decide to invest in it.

NOTE - This is a health blog with just about 20 visits each day and 70 - 100 on a good day if I boost through facebook.
Started blog 2014 originally but has been active for a year now with some 50 posts (original posts)

So what STRATEGIES can I use to grow this blog and turn it into an income earner, if I can afford to sink in 50k?

Please no insults. I just want help from those with experience.

Thank you. However you said its a service you will like to start, you have not stated yet then? I am not interested in entertainment one bit, its a personal interest I have in health, So I would rather see it grow.

geunik:

pls sorry for the confusion. I hate typing with phone that is why i was a little brief. However, let me settle down explain what i mean.
The number of visit you are having is quiet fair considering the frequency of your articles. If you intends to post once a week, that will give you 50 articles a year. That is too few to drive a lot of traffic. Another thing is if you post news relating to health, such post dies a natural death after some few weeks because they have a lifespan. That is not so when it is a post trying to solve a problem. People will keep visiting.
See the following health niche
healthy food and drinks
exercise
drugs and medicine
preventive measure of disease
medical school like nursing
etc.
The list is long. If you keep running all the areas of health, holding visitors is hard. Stick to one. I write on pharmacy and my articles are mostly for students who are doing pharmacy in school and not every aspect of pharmacy. I don't do news. All my post that have cross 100 views are sitting comfortably on fp of Google. I started this year.
You can check my signature and see what i mean.
I wish to add more but maybe am not good at explaining about bloging. But before i leave i hope you know all the rudiments of search engine optimization?

wwwmaster:

I've started the service. I understand you prefer health niche which is very OK but it will cost you more time and resources to build it up. I recommended entertainment because it is self promoting and quite easier to build up.

My candid advice is you target on building your own brand and that is what the afro mentioned service is all about.
Thanks.

DavidTheGeek:
Get an android app for your blog.

A health blog isn't updated daily so readers won't check daily and some might even forget about the blog.. hence the low traffic. But if you have an android app, once you post a new article, the app will notify your readers of the new post and then they'll read.

I'm an android developer and i build apps like this for bloggers.. Quote me if you like this suggestion and i'll drop my number.

geunik you too.

Brightgem:
Hello, now I wouldnt say an app will not be nice, but that would be if one had a lot of readers who actually subcribe, which is one of the hardest part.

Brightgem:
okay... This service now is to get people to drop comments, isn't it? I am certainly interested since u say it would yield results I would take your word for it. How shall I commence

There's no point spending money on temporary boosts. All you need do is invest same in SEO and premium contents as those are usually evergreen.

Revisit your old post and optimize their titles, update them with few more words and reshare them via social bookmarking platforms.

Finally, log in to your Google webmaster's dashboard, navigate to "search analytics" identify the strongest keywords that brings traffic to your website and optimize same for higher CTR.

Use the keywords identified for external optimizations.
