20 Tricks To Drive Traffic To Your Blog

I wrote my first blog post in October 2021. It was so discouraging, i felt i had made a wrong move even thinking i could even write not to talk of owning a blog site. I started out without knowing any thing about blogging. How to gain audience, how to position myself, what to even talk about and how to profit from it. I thought of giving up on it because no one noticed me even though i shared it on my facebook profile. I was so discouraged that i didn't bother to write another and almost gave up on my desire to run a blog.  

20 practical ways to drive traffic to your blog site.
