So how'd I get this big traffic growth? I blogged less. Hey everyone, I'm Neil Patel, and today I'm going to share with you how you can grow your traffic by blogging less. Here's the thing that I learned about blogging. It's not about how much content you're producing. Yes, the more text you have, the more keywords, the more pages that can rank in Google. But here's the thing that most people don't tell you. Just because you write more content, it doesn't mean that you're going to get more traffic.
2:00 How to Get More Traffic by Blogging LESS Tip #1
The first thing I recommend to you is to send out emails. So every time I release a blog post, I send out emails to my whole list, letting them know my blog post has just come out and how it can help them. This is one of the easiest ways I get more traffic If I send out an email blast seven times a week because if I was blogging daily, people are going to be like, whoa Neil, you're spamming us. This is overwhelming, stop emailing me. But now that I blog less, not only am I able to email my list, but they're appreciative.
3:00 How to Get More Traffic by Blogging LESS Tip #2
The second tip I have for you is to use Subscribers.com. Subscribers is a push notification software; it's free, there are no premium plans, it's just fully free. And what it does is when someone's coming to your website from a browser, whether it's Chrome, Safari, Firefox, it allows them to subscribe to your blog using browser notifications. Then whenever you release a blog post, using Subscribers, you can send them a message letting them all know that your blog post has come out, and through their browser, they'll get a notification.
4:00 How to Get More Traffic by Blogging LESS Tip #3
The next strategy I have for you is to use Buzzsumo. Using Buzzsumo, you can type in keywords related to your article, see what other relevant articles are out there that are similar, click the view shares button and you can see all the people that shared similar content. You can then email them; you have to do some Google searches to find their email.
5:18 How to Get More Traffic by Blogging LESS Tip #4
The last tip I have for you is to work on your headlines. Everyone thinks if you write the longest and the best blog post, you get the most traffic. And that is true; good content helps you get more traffic. But here's an interesting stat for you. Eight out of 10 people will read your headline, but only two out of 10 people will click through and read the rest of your article. So if you spend time making amazing headlines, you'll get more traffic.
If you want to get more traffic, don't just spend more time blogging, spend more time on marketing than blogging. That doesn't mean you can write mediocre content, that means the content you write has to be amazing. But you should spend even more time than whatever you did writing it, promoting the article. Use the 80 20 rule. If you spend an hour writing the article, spend four hours promoting it. If you have any questions on how to get more traffic, by blogging less, leave a comment below. And I'll make sure to answer and help you out. Thanks for watching, make sure you subscribe, like, comment and share. - Навчання та стиль
Hey Neil! I love your content. As a UA-camr myself for 7 years, I recommend you switch to a navy shirt instead wearing a white shirt on a white background.
Thanks for the tip :)
He just loves blending in 😂
But he looks good in white shirt though..🤔
I m gonna implement this trick:
If you spend one hour writing an article, spend four hours in promoting it. Thanks Neil 👍
Go for it, Nikita!

Excellent video! You're a marketing legend in these streets Neil. Can't wait to get my blog started.

Neil! I learned this a few months back while everyone is pushing for more and longer posts (nothing wrong with that) I figured out that promoting that stuff is more important and I wasn't having time to do it. Love your use of the 80/20 rule here - been trying to figure out how to implement that as I'm new to the idea but this makes it very applicable. Also, thx for so many free vids
You're very welcome!
Thanks Neil. I am learning a lot from your videos.
Glad to hear it!
Ton of value again, thanks Niell!!
You're very welcome, Harry!

Actually 1 of my sir use to say this:
Spend more time promoting content so you don't have the pressure of creating one.
:)
Really Neil , yet I'm not successful but I do the same I just write a good content within 3 to 4 day.. and I spend like a month for marketing also various experiment to get a traffic on this post. I have a blog 4 months old and having only 6 articles and one of my post rank on Google first page in number one position. Thanx it realized me after watching ur video because I naturally do this process.
That is great :)

That's awesome, Luis!!
another great video from @Neil.
Thanks, Christopher :)
Okay🙂I m learning day by day❤.
thanks for these helpful tips.
My pleasure 😊
Hey Neil! Awesome content. I assume this only works when you established your blog writing 7 days a week building the SEO and generating leads. Or am I missing something? -Brian
You don't need to be writing 7 days per week or generating leads to do this. It can work for bloggers at all different levels.
Wow you are amazing...
Hey Neil, thank you. My original was decided publish one post per day for chase more traffic and ranking. Now I will know I need “post less” and “push more”. Thank you.
You are welcome, Sliven :)
Thanks NEil
You're very welcome!
Hey, Mr Neil
I believe that you are a great person who taught me everything what I know today about blogging.
Keep up this great work
I like to share your article everytime you publish a new one.
You and Mr Brian from backlinko are my hero.
Thank you so much!
Go Neil! Go 1 million subscribers!!,
Almost there :)
your posts are really amazing, you are the only person I have found who is actually paying to give, something for free to others.
Thank you, Amit!
Very helpful
Thanks!
Great Sir Very Helpful Vedio, Thanks For Sharing Your Tricks with all ... 👍👍👍👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
You are very welcome!
Really Neil you are my inspiration for SEO
Thank you!
This is amazing video Thanks Neil .I usually write blogs and do less marketing and that's the main reason for less traffic .keep posting amazing video .Saad
Thanks!
Instant Subscribed. Great content sir.
Thanks so much!
Wow, Neil sir that’s accurate. When I went to a Nike store they have less models than their competitors but their sales are high. You revealed the same 30% content 70% promotion.
That's right :) Quality over quantity
These tips were really practical.
Thanks :)
I loved this. I have been writing a ton, but let the promotion part fall to the side. I will implement these strategies today.
Awesome, Melinda! Go for it!
Great Tips! As Always! I Just was looking for a good Email tool and now you told me hello Bar. Thank you!
You're welcome!
Hi Neil...Does hellobar work only for the index page or does it also work for the inner page? For instance I put the links of the posts directly on social media rather than linking the index page. so was wondering if it can capture that way. I have not been able to test it since I already tested for the home page...
This is interesting! There's definitely something to be said for not wanting to produce quantity over quality...great to see the double in growth.
Glad you liked it :)
Thank you for sharing this valuable stuff✨😉👌😎
You're very welcome!
Thanks!
You're welcome!
Great content with nice presenting style. Its true to right blog posts per day. But now i will implement these tips for creating my own blog posts. Thanks for creating this video :)
Happy to help :)
you are indeed a brand mr neil😄
:)
Nice suggestion
Thanks!
Insightful tutorial!
Thank you!
@@neilpatel Thanks for your assertive feedback.
Super stuff. It must take a lot of your time just replying to comments let alone writing and promoting blogs 😉
It does! But I don't mind :)
wow...this is great
Good :)
Nice
neil patel Sir..you are awesome
Thank you!
Thanks for the video Neil ! Would 2/3x per week still be too many times ? Keep up the good work!
Not necessarily. Could work well. Test it with your audience.
Hi Neil, you are the god of marketing, I just hope am able to practice at least 10% of what you teach so that I can benefit from them.
Thanks my friend!
Hey Neil, You are the best.
Zakir Naik needs help with his SEO? Why? I thought god would help him out? 😂
thats a great video.
Thanks!
Dude, I watched (well, listened...I’m in the my car...and no I’m not currently texting and driving!) this video twice, and I’m gonna watch it again when I get home from the gym and take notes!
I have one site with over 400 blog posts (since 2010) and I only get about 100 visitors per day (used to get way more and not sure what happened).
My ‘fail’ was that I wrote a lot (clearly!) of content!! But I did not know how to promote. I’m guilty of having that Wayne’s World mentality ‘If you book them, they will come!’
So I will be implementing these tips, and also focusing on re-writing old content (and getting of many posts that are duplicated content).
Thank you for your vids...sorry for the book here!!
Thanks for sharing, Jason! Try updating some of that old content... and make sure you are targeting specific keywords.
Neil Patel I will do that! I’ll focus on 1 per week (researching keywords and revamping a relevant post). Thank you!
Hey Neil great tips, I have a question what must be the right publishing frequency?
Test different frequencies to see what works best for your audience. I publish one new article per week now.

Hi Neil, this is once again an amazing release. Am a starter blogger , please do you get any blogging series on how to structure content?
You can definitely find some articles on my blog that will help you with that
Neil, the title of your video proves the 5th tip you talked about: Headlines are important. For Instance, 'How to Get More Traffic by Blogging LESS | 4 Tips' won't compel people as much as the simple addition of the word 'Sneaky' would. Furthermore, the Tips are impressive; they can help a lot of people drive traffic to their blog.
Glad you liked it! You always have to back up the headline with great content!
Thanks for the website! I have an excel sheet from all your videos 👍
You are very welcome, Sandra!

Hello Sir! This is Really Usefull for Every Digital Marketer!!!
Thank you!
Thanks for the great tips Neil. I've just checked the buzzsumo and there's no free plan included, not to mention that those prices are astronomically expensive.
They may have changed their platform..
Thanks
You're welcome!
Thanks Neil great advise
The push notifications and Hello Bar help me a lot to collect the email...
20/80 rule is best

Good, buena reseña i like this information
Thanks!
Hello Neil, i am amazed by getting such informative videos related to my 'newstep' career. I am a beginner and doing researches till now about all tools and tips needed for becoming a paid/professional content writer,
hence want to clear all my doubts related to this profession . So I would request you to explain 'bout how to use 'Subscriber.com' properly.
Create 5-10 headlines and choose the best one.. good one. Thank you ⭐
You got it!
Thank u ☺️ sir
Most welcome :)
Thanks for the tips. I have a e-commerce website on Shopify. Should I start blogging on the website? On a public site like blogpost? Or both?
I'd start blogging on your site :)
Sending out an email really helped me 😊
Nice!
I subscribed you @AlainaNicole . And, @NeilPatel , I am really a great fan of your work. You are a fantastic in detailing these tricks and tips . Thanks a lot !
Hello Alaina, i am a beginner as a content writer. Please clear a doubt , have you sent out your own email? And if did then how? I would be highly glad if you kindly bestow informations related to my question .
Thanks Neil,
I'm a new subscriber. When starting out a new blog, as I did last weekend, should I still be dedicating more time to promoting it than generating posts? I post twice a week on my website, but currently the site doesn't allow for users to comment without logging in to a proprietary app.
Are there any free blogging websites you'd recommend to gain more traffic? My site is on wix, and I've opened a Tumblr account too, but I'm just trying to gain some traffic and at least get a few consistent blog readers. I plan to duplicate the blog post across the various social media platforms, I'm just struggling trying to identify what my major platform should be. Thanks
I would consider switching to WordPress. And when it comes to promotions, spend 20% of your time writing and 80% of your time promoting.
80/20 rules is very good example neil. Thanks for this video
You are welcome!
NyyyyyyyyyccCC SiR I am Your Big Fan. Thankyou so much SiR.
You are very welcome!
Yes Neil you are perfectly right, I am adding this techniques to my memory to use in next coming days in working are.
That best sentence is " Spend More time on Marketing not On Blogging ".
First I will ask sorry for telling suggestions, that is while video is playing " Tip 1, Tip2,Tip3 including that please add title in there itself So I can write that point in notes.. Like for this video " Tip 4 - Work On your Head line " please consider this one
Thanks

Thank u man. I will try to do the same as you😊
You're welcome!
When you choose a title for your blog post, do you use a search term someone would put into Google? Or do you do something else?
That is a part of it. There are some great articles on my blog that talk about headline writing that you should check out ;)
Th biggest problem I researched with sending emails to a list of people is that if you do it too many times some will mark it as spam or take themselves off he list. Constantly sending your subscribers emails all the time annoys the subscriber. Another thing, if your not actually writing the email program yourself( including error checking & filters ) and not using a third party program subscribers are 100% yours. But if your not writing your own email subscriber program you run the risk of the third party violating some protocols on your behalf both on the TCP/IP level or OSI. The last thing is when dealing with some third party you have access to your email list when using a third party but depending where that third party server is, the laws are different around the world; that means there are some things you can in the USA that you cant do in India for example. Some third parties are allowed to keep your email list as if it was theirs, in some cases some companies create other companies from the parent company and send emails directly to your subscribers under a different company and depending where you are it's totally legal. There are all types of ways a company who collects your email subscribers can do to increase the value of their platform because the emails you have the more valuable your we site should and also your company. It's best to write from scratch your own email program. So many companies out here main goal is to transfer your hard work into themselves.
Interesting thoughts, James. Thanks for sharing :)
Neil Patel your pretty cool about it most people tell me to stop taking over their post etc. But hey UA-cam is a great test site for me so I post this kind of stuff to see how the algorithm responds. Your a legend and I learned alot from you and not trying to show you anything. I'm almost done my affiliate website, this year alone I purchased like 80 domains and their just sitting there so I figured I'd put one to work. Anyway this going to help alot. All of your tutorials will. Thank again.
hi brother thank you for the tips in this video.
You're welcome!
very good
Thanks!
