        Simple. Use keyword explorer and 10X content to gain more traffic.

        Take your first blog post: http://alizaumer.com/home-based-business-success/

        The main keywords you seem to be targeting based on your H1 and URL are possibly:

        home based business (9K-11K searches/month Keyword Discovery data)

        home based business success (11-50)

        common Eunrepreneurs (zero or no data)

        Euntreprenuers (11K-30K)

        The 4 articles which are #1 for the 4 terms are:

        https://www.entrepreneur.com/topic/home-based-business - a group of quality articles

        https://www.allbusiness.com/slideshow/the-top-25-home-based-business-ideas-16659292-1.html - Top 25 Business Ideas

        https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/200730 - Successful Euntreprenuers

        https://www.entrepreneur.com/us - A huge site based on the term "Euntreprenuers".

        These keywords do not seem to be carefully chosen for what you are able to create 10X content for, and thus dominate. But let's just go with these keywords for now (I know you weren't trying to tackle all of them).

        A close look at these 4 #1 ranking sites shows that your article doesn't come close in creating as high of qualty, unique, different, emotionally inspiring, awe enspiring, problem solving, remarkable, unexpected delivery, or pleasurable delivery in a way that is 10X content for those terms. See this whiteboard friday.

        I like your use of visuals and graphics.

        Keyword research related terms in your industry with keyword explorer, optimize for those keywords, and produce 10X content for those keywords and your blog will be more successful.

        It's pretty simple.

          Hi there!

          A while back, Rand wrote a great blog on this topic for Moz: https://moz.com/blog/21-tactics-to-increase-blog-traffic-2012

          • Here are the summarized points:
          • Target Your Content to an Audience Likely to Share

          • Use Twitter, Facebook and Google+ to Share Your Posts & Find New Connections
          • Install Analytics and Pay Attention to the Results
          • Add Graphics, Photos and Illustrations (with link-back licensing)
          • Conduct Keyword Research While Writing Your Posts
          • Frequently Reference Your Own Posts and Those of Others
          • Participate in Social Sharing Communities Like Reddit + StumbleUpon
