This is where modifying contents on other blogs comes in, you have no option than to modify existing post i.e making some crazy adjustments to the post to make it somehow different from other blogs (Use your brain and do not let other blogs know you are doing plagiarism ).
- Use Social Media with less SEO – Entertainment blogs in general do not require focusing much on SEO though you need it for some post but you need to be active on social media join relevant groups comment on some of the group post with your post URL (link) it will generate the post thumbnail by itself, you can go extra mile by tweaking the post title to attract more clicks ( do not spam the group too much)
- Run Online Campaign(Ads) – If you really want to grow your entertainment blog in no time you have to run Ads on Nairaland, Facebook (recommended), why I said Facebook is recommended is because Nairaland traffic will not last for a while on your blog, they will increase your bounce rate and will never come back again, Facebook can be directed to certain and optimized to show for different people of different country and age group.
Be Patient – Don’t push it, wait for it.
