Finally, after all the hard work you have put into your blog post research, writing, design and promotion, it’s time to analyze the performance of your blog posts to see how you’re doing and where you can improve.

  1. Look at the number of views for each blog post. This is a great way to figure out which blog content is performing the best. Knowing what content is popular can help you decide what types of posts to write next.
  2. Filter your most popular posts by topic, author, or even the channel that you promoted it on. Learn what topics you should continue to write about, reward the popular authors, and determine the best way to promote your blog posts.
  3. Look at the number of clicks on the Call-to-Action at the end of an individual post. Are you converting any qualified leads? Are certain offers performing better than others?
At the end of the day, it’s important to write consistently and frequently.

Commit yourself to a blogging schedule. The more often you blog, the more likely you are to get found. After all, each new blog post is an opportunity to attract new visitors. The more often you post quality content, the more you will see your blog grow and influence your business.
