A respectable niche, backlinks, quality material, and an author who must be a real person.

So I started a blog about 8 months ago. I don’t post that often but am quite a specific niche that I have a lot of experience on. The website is not very fancy and quite basic but I try to have good content that helps people solve problems in my particular niche. I faced this same issue as I wanted to promote my info but wasn’t allowed to share my website.

This is what I did over 6 months to get about 1000 page views a day, which I know is not that great but it’s growing.

Make your reddit/social names relevant to your topic so people know what you’re about.

Post on all relevant subs and provide quality answers and info so people are willing to interact with you and ask more questions. Don’t spam your site or even suggest anything about it. If they are after even more info you can then DM them or post a link. Ask mods for permission to do this. Over time, if your content is good and you are genuinely helping people, you will be shared and your website will be talked about in your relevant community and mods will be more lenient with you.

I started my own subreddit so I could have more control over what I can and cannot post

Start socials so you can start spreading the word about your site. This takes time. Start inviting people who follow similar sites or interact with similar pages to yours.

Just do the commonsense steps and you will eventually grow. It takes a good 6 months of consistent interaction with the communities relevant to your page and if you’re actually providing good content you will grow.

Obviously SEO matters for organic growth as well.
