1. PINTEREST:
Try incorporating more DIY’s or “how to” posts. Provide posts on sought-after information to ensure your posts will be pinned & re-pinned. If you’re not sure what those sorts of posts would be than just look at the things you’ve personally googled or searched Pinterest for. 
2. SCHEDULE POSTS:
Working full-time can affect how interesting your social media outlets are. I get it, you simply cannot be tweeting or posting on Facebook on your phone while at work. Tools such as Laterbro, Tweetdeck, and Hootsuite will allow you to keep your social media outlets active without actually being on them all the time. I also like to use these tools during the times I notice a “traffic slump” like when I am on holidays.
3. CONTENT:
Make sure your content is so engaging that it makes readers want to come back for more each day. Building a loyal readership will help boost your blog’s traffic each day but the only way to do that is by creating content that is so engaging that it makes people want to read more and more.
4. TWITTER CHATS:
Get involved with your blogger community by taking part in blog chat sessions on Twitter. Each Wednesday at 1:00 PM (PST) there is a chat on twitter for #bbloggers but there are also #FBLchats, #Fblogger chats, and surely many, many more. These chats always provide interesting & useful information on various topics relating to being a blogger. While you’re discussing these topics/ asking questions, you also build blogger relationships with fellow bloggers which in turn will boost your blogs traffic and long-term loyal followers.
5. GUEST POST:
Getting invited or asking to guest post on a fellow bloggers blog is a great way to build your audience as well as theirs.
6. BLOGLOVIN:
Since adding my blog to Bloglovin my pageviews have jumped, and it’s one of my top traffic sources. Since this platform is being used by thousands & thousands of people worldwide to follow their favourite blogs so you must get your blog on there! It’s easy and requires little to no upkeep – so really, why not sign up?
7. LINKS:
Using links in your blog citing previous posts will help push your readers to explore other parts of your blog. This will not only increase your pageviews but it’ll also build a more loyal readership as your readers get to know you & your blog.
8. KEYWORDS:
Learning how to use keywords will optimize your blog’s traffic. It can feel very complicated at first to understand keywords but once you study up your blog will be running like a charm.
9. COMMENT +CONNECT:
By connecting to other bloggers and commenting on their posts you create relationships with other bloggers which in turn will increase your traffic. Take the time to read the other bloggers post
thoroughly and comment with a genuine & engaged response to create relationships with them.

HOW TO: Create Great Content
Hi Bree, very useful post, I have no idea about LaterBro you know, should check it out later:) Kisses! xo
Thank you! <3
Very interesting – Thanks for sharing your tips. Couldn't agree more about Pinterest!
No problem! <3
Thanks for sharing, Bree! It's so good that you come up with such useful content 🙂
I read recently that Bloglovin' can do wonders for you traffic, so after all it might be a good thing that google reader is going down!
Have a lovely day.

Bloglovin can really do tons, it's a great website!
They are all great ideas, but are also very general. Most beauty and fashion bloggers are quite personal, and write in conversational manner. Therefore, they connect, as well as expand their popularity (more traffic) by personally connecting with each other. And in this case sincere, thoughtful comments add huge value.
If the approach is organic traffic though, I feel that picking the right keywords, especially exact-match URL is essential. I actually own more blogs than you see on my profile – some of them purely for SEO research purposes – and the exact URL's get the MOST traction from ALL search engines.
Again, thanks for the tips, and hopefully my (long) comment added some value.

Totally see your point! I definitely think writing in a personal tone helps increase viewership, I noted that in the content point! Mostly these are just sources many bloggers don't use/ don't know how to use to their advantage. Using Pinterest, twitter chats and later bro for example can be really helpful tools and only did I recently realize how useful Pinterest, as for laterbro & twitter chats I've just noticed many bloggers are unaware of these little tools.
I don't necessary think these tips are general but I guess someone who is already aware of them would maybe think that?
great tips love, thanks for the advice!

glad you like! <3
great tips Bree! I agree with all of them, but I've never tried scheduling my tweets! I love doing guest posting too – it really helps!

It's great to do, scheduling tweets keeps you present on twitter when you cannot be – like when you're at work! I try to schedule a few for the days I work =)
Great tips – love the idea to schedule tweets ahead of time. I thought all of these were really good ideas – very specific. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Allie!! <333
Great tips! I always love reading other bloggers' tips and what works for them. I've attributed several big spikes in traffic to certain outfits of mine that I've pinned, which is super flattering at the same time! haha. I absolutely love Bloglovin for the fact that it keeps your blog consistently in others' feeds but also makes it so much easier to network with other bloggers. AND finally, I'm planning to start using a platform to schedule blog and fashion-related tweets! I've never heard of the one you mentioned, but I believe both TweetDeck and Hoote Suite do the same thing.
Great, interesting post!

Totally, pinterest can really increase blog traffic – it's kind of amazing!
Thank you for the wonderful tips!
Thanks for the tips! I've tried making interesting pictures for the top of my posts that would be pinterest worthy but it can be so time consuming and I didn't see much of a difference. Maybe my couple of attempts weren't engaging enough?
I actually found your blog because of Pinterest just now and I'm so glad that I did! It's fabulous! Do you mind if I add you to the lovely links section of my blog?

Hi there, Kara! Awe thank you so much! I am so glad you like my blog & these traffic tips. Sometimes the pinterest images/ interest can just take some time. Do you have a large pinterest following? If not, then try building it by posting on it daily + repinning images. The larger your following the more effective your own pins will be!
Absolutely feel free to add me to your link list, it would actually be such an honour for me if you did so!
Thank you for the tips! I'm still working on the keyword thing myself!
Thank you. This is helpful.
I am quite new to bloglovin!! Thanks for the insights.
