How to Get Your Blog to 100,000 Visitors and Beyond - Step 1: Pick the Right Topic
I've had a lot of requests to detail how I got 100,000 visitors (now past 150k as I write this) to Free Money Finance. While the topic is not clearly in the subject area of personal finances, it can be part of how you increase your income (and thus improve your net worth), so I'll cover it. Plus, this will serve to help out other bloggers as well as remind me of what else I need to do to grow this blog. If this isn't your cup of tea, simply ignore these posts. I post frequently enough that a new, money-related post is not far behind this one.
I'll over this topic in a series of "steps", each one presenting a simple, unique step I took to get to 100,000 visitors. I'll also try to keep the steps in the order I did them, though several happened simultaneously, so that won't be easy.
That said, here we go.
Step 1 to getting to 100,000 visitors and beyond: Pick the right topic.
This might seem to be a simple step (and maybe even counter blogging — can't I just blog about what I want?), but it's critical. To me, the right topic is one that:
You're passionate about — If you're not passionate about it, you won't post regularly, you'll lose interest, and your readers will be able to tell your heart isn't really in it (and they'll go away). If you are, your readers will identify with you and get to "love" your personality. And they'll come back. And tell their friends to stop by.
You're knowledgeable about — You don't have to be an expert on the topic, but you need to know more than most people to get a lot of people to your site. Otherwise, why would they stop by (or come back)?
Is it popular — Let's face it, if you want to write about the exercise habits of your hamster, not many people are likely to visit your blog. You have to have a topic that many, many people want to read about if you want to get to 100k. This isn't to say that you shouldn't write about your hamster (or anything else a large group wouldn't want to read about). If you blog for your own pleasure, then go for it — make Hammy a star. But if you want to get to 100,000 visitors, you need a topic (like personal finances) that many people what to know more about.
