Webmasters › Re: An Open Letter To Bloggers Struggling To Get More Traffic By Jon Morrow by templembre1(m): 12:37am On May 18, 2016 |
brianromel: It hurts me to write this.
For years, I’ve been “the traffic guy.” Not only because I’m good at getting it, but because it’s the question on the top of every blogger’s mind:
“How do I get more traffic to my blog?”
To some degree, this entire site is an answer to that question. You’ll learn more about getting blog traffic here than maybe anywhere else on the web.
But there’s one giant problem…
It’s the wrong question.
And I’ve known it for years.
And I’ve said nothing.
Not because I’m an asshole (well, maybe). No, the real reason is I felt like we were serving the needs of the market. People wanted to know how to get more traffic, so we created courses teaching them how.
But Then I Noticed Something Horrifying…
A large percentage of our students couldn’t significantly increase their traffic, no matter how hard they tried.
And the worst part:
It wasn’t their fault.
They were doing all the homework. They were applying our techniques.
Except none of it was working. Not for the vast majority of them, anyway.
Why?
At first, I thought it was because we sucked. Maybe our techniques didn’t work, maybe the homework was too difficult, maybe we were just lousy teachers.
But then I noticed something…
A small percentage of students who initially struggled would all of a sudden take off like a rocket. For six months, they worked their butts off and got nowhere, and then BOOM, they would get so much traffic they could quit their jobs and become full-time bloggers.
So, I started investigating. What were these students doing differently than all the others?
Did they work harder? Were they better writers? Were they just smarter? Did they have powerful connections?
Turns out, the answer was none of the above.
The only commonality between all of our success stories is they changed the question they were asking. Instead of asking how to get more traffic, they asked a different, much less obvious question.
And it changed everything.
The Single Most Important Question for Beginning Bloggers
Ready to hear the question?
Here it is:
“Is my blog capable of getting traffic?”
I know, it probably doesn’t make any sense.
Is it capable? Of course it’s capable! Every blog is capable of getting more traffic.
Right?
Actually…
it turns out the answer is no. People think you can build a popular blog about anything, but you can’t.
Of course, that statement isn’t surprising in and of itself. It’s logical that some really bizarre topics like square tomatoes or diamond drill bits could never support a popular blog.
But the reality is worse. Far worse.
The Brutal Truth about Building a Popular Blog
After working with thousands of students, I can confidently say there are only a few hundred topics where blogging really works.
For instance, ever noticed how many parenting blogs there are?
Or marketing blogs?
Or social media blogs?
There’s a reason why. Blogging works really well for those types of topics.
But there aren’t any popular blogs about retirement, weddings, or becoming a better real estate agent.
And here’s the real shocker…
There never will be.
Yes, there are millions of people interested in those topics. Yes, it seems like you should be able to build a blog around them. But you can’t.
Doesn’t matter how hard you work. Doesn’t matter how smart you are. Doesn’t matter how many connections you have. It’s impossible.
In fact, it’s impossible to build a popular blog around 99% of our passions.
Let me explain why…
The Seven Tests Every Blog Must Pass
For months, I researched what blogs succeed and fail, and I found seven criteria or “tests” every blog passes before it becomes popular.
And here’s the thing:
To have a viable blog, you need to pass all seven tests. If you can’t, your blog will never succeed, no matter how hard you try.
On a more positive note, passing all seven of these tests practically guarantees you can build a popular blog. All that’s left is doing the work to make it happen.
Ready to find out what the tests are?
Here you go:
Size. The vast majority of popular blogs have a total market size of at least 5 million people. And that’s a minimum. Most top 100 blogs have a total market size of 200 million or more.
To be clear, that’s not how many readers they have. That’s how many readers they could have if everyone with an interest in the topic read their blog.
Age. The vast majority of blog readers are between the ages of 30 and 55. If you’re targeting an audience younger or older than that window, such as teenagers or baby boomers, it’s almost impossible to build a popular blog, simply because these people don’t like reading blogs. Not yet, anyway.
Longevity. Because blogs publish content on an ongoing basis, you need an audience that has an ongoing interest. Ideally, it’s a topic like personal finance or social media that changes all the time, and so people want to read about it forever. What you don’t want is a topic like wedding planning or pregnancy, because people are only interested in those subjects for a few months.
Language. In general, blogging as we know it is confined to the English language. Yes, it’s totally possible to build a popular blog in Japanese or Spanish, but the traffic techniques are totally different, and it’s much, much more difficult. In my opinion, it’s far more efficient to use other more traditional methods to build the audience, such as advertising.
Network. For a blog to really take off, you need an audience who is networked with each other through social media. Moms talk with each other on Facebook, foodies hang out on Pinterest, bloggers and journalists are big on Twitter. As a result, they are easy to reach. If your audience isn’t hanging out on a particular social media platform, on the other hand, it’s almost impossible to get any traffic.
Influencer. If a blog topic is viable, you pretty much always find influencers who have already built up their own audiences in the space. Sometimes they are bloggers, sometimes they are podcasters, sometimes they are best-selling authors. The key point: with a little research, you can easily find 5-10 influencers or “thought leaders” already dominating the space. If you can’t find any, there’s always a reason why, and it’s never good.
Desirability. Last but certainly not least, you need to like the audience. Surprisingly, this is the number one reason a blog stalls out following a period of rapid growth. After attracting a small audience, the blogger discovers they can’t stand them, and they stop writing because it’s not fun anymore. The moral of the story: make sure you like the people you are trying to attract because you’ll be hanging out with them for years.
Are You Depressed Yet?
Chances are, your blog fails at least one of these tests.
And you know what that means, right?
It’s curtains. Goodbye, dear one, we’ll remember you fondly forever.
At least as far as getting a bunch of free traffic is concerned.
You can absolutely continue writing, but it’s never going to attract a lot of readers without spending a fortune on advertising, and I’m guessing that’s not your cup of tea.
The Good News…
You can always launch a new blog. If you choose a viable topic, you might even be a little stunned by how quickly it grows. Because you see, it’s easy to grow a blog that passes the above tests.
This blog got 4,379 visitors on the very first day I opened it. Granted, some of that was due to the promotion strategy I used, but a big part of it was I chose the right topic.
