The Best Way to Start a Blog in 2019
The post The Best Way to Start a Blog in 2019 appeared first on ProBlogger.
If you’ve been Googling how to start a blog, then I’m sure you’ve already come across many resources telling you how. And most of them are pretty much the same, as creating your first blog is just a matter of a few technical steps. We even have a “how to start a blog” right here.
However, we then went one step further and created another free resource – the Ultimate Guide to Starting a Blog – a course with videos and resources to step you through not just creating a blog, but one that helps you make some of the most important decisions when starting out. In fact, one of the more important modules is the first one – should you even start a blog at all?
Thousands of bloggers have signed up for the course since it launched almost exactly one year ago. But this isn’t why we think starting a blog with us is the best way to start a blog in 2019. It’s because we went even one step further again and designated February 7th as International Start a Blog Day!

6 Ways to Boost Your Blog Traffic in the New Year
The post 6 Ways to Boost Your Blog Traffic in the New Year appeared first on ProBlogger.
This post is based on Episode 177 of the ProBlogger podcast.
Did your blog have a bit of a holiday slump?
Many bloggers find they lose momentum with their traffic in January. So if it happened to you, you’re not alone.
Your readers were probably online less than usual. A lot of my fellow Aussie bloggers struggle at this time of year because their readers are enjoying the beach or off on vacation.
You may have taken some time away from blogging as well to spend time with friends and family.
But now you’re back at your desk, and want to start working on your blog in earnest.
Today, we’ll be looking at six things you can do to boost your traffic and get it back to where it was (or perhaps even higher).
How to Promote Your Book for Free
So, you just put out a new book! (Hooray!) Or maybe you have that one book that never really got the sales or exposure you wanted it to get. With all the marketing tools available online, promoting a book — whether it’s a new release or a title that’s been sitting in your backlist — can be an overwhelming task. And many popular promotional options, from self-serve advertising platforms to email blasts, come with a price tag, which can be tricky if you’re on a budget.
Luckily, there are a number of ways to market your book for free on BookBub and elsewhere. While these tactics are not necessarily the most effective options if you’re looking to drive large sales numbers, they are low risk, and we’ve seen authors successfully get their work into the hands of readers using these strategies. So if you’re on a budget, or simply want to expand your current marketing strategies, you may want to give these a try!

A Guide to Getting More Reader Reviews
Obtaining reader reviews on retailer sites is critical for driving book sales. Reviews can lend books legitimacy and help readers decide whether they’re worth their money and time. According to a 2018 survey, 36% of BookBub members say book reviews from other readers can convince them whether or not to buy a book, and we found that including high review counts in our Featured Deal blurbs can increase clicks by an average of 14%. Yet getting reader reviews can be challenging and stressful. Thankfully, we’ve seen a number of tactics used to successfully build up reader reviews.
This guide shares some tried and tested strategies to generate more reader reviews on retailer sites. It will also help you learn what practices to avoid so retailer sites don’t remove them. If you’ve struggled to get reviews or simply need more, check these out!
