I have a confession to make.
You were just part of an experiment. Nothing malicious.
But this week was a test.
One of my goals for March is to increase the traffic to Videofruit by nearly 3x (the exact goal is 10,000 unique visitors).
To do that I’m implementing a few things:
- Running weekly experiments
- Going through Neil Patel’s 30 day challenge
- Tripling my hours spent working on the blog
Here is how Week 1 went (March 3rd – 6th):
In short the overall traffic increased by 128% in four days.
Another item of note is the growth rate of the site’s email list. It grew by a total of 86 subscribers over those 4 days.That equates to a 7% signup rate for new visitors.
So, what did I do?
Simple…I posted more.
For the past 2 months I have averaged 1 post per week.
That post has been a 1,500+ word ‘Formula’ style post. They are super in-depth, data driven and written in a way that teaches the reader how to implement a particular strategy.
I really enjoy writing those and they have been received really well.
Here is a graph of how they have performed:
For those 60 days the site has accumulated:
- 10,643 Visits
- 5,992 Unique Visitors
- 26,418 Page Views
- An average of 3:28 of read time per visit
By posting more I was looking to boost that quite significantly.
After consecutive 4 days of posting, here are the results:
- 1,323 more site Visits
- 993 more Unique Visits
- 1,590 more Pageviews
- 0.9 less pages viewed per visit
What does this mean?
It’s a small sample size, so it’s is too early to draw any wide sweeping conclusions.
However, one thing is clear: More (quality) Content = More Traffic
It can be tough to come up with topics to write about, that was one of my biggest fears.
What if I write all this stuff this week and exhaust all of my good topics?
Not going to lie, I was a little scared.
Solution
I’ve come up with a rudimentary system for constantly brainstorming and cataloging new ideas and topics to write about.
I’ve put them all together in a resource guide. If you are interested and think this could help you, it’s free.
