web traffic

I see this time and time again. As people get started with blogging, they think it’s as simple as clicking, “Add New Post,” typing up a few paragraphs, and clicking, “Publish.” Then they hopelessly wait for views, comments, and tweets. No one comes. No one comments. No one tweets. They do this three or four times and eventually write off blogging as, “not it’s all hyped up to be.” After writing for IncomeDiary for a few months now, I can tell you that there are dozens of small blogging nuances that we work into nearly every post.

If you want to master Pinterest, then this is the post for you, so stop making excuses. A little heads up here, this is a long post, and it will take time to take it all in, but this is only part 1 of 2.
