*Update*
Is this still applicable in 2023? YES! I still do the same tactics… and I still have a bounce rate that is embarrassingly high… so what steps am I taking to fix this?
- Adding a Call To Action/ freebie at the bottom of every blog
- Adding a sidebar on the blog with helpful Categories where they can find blogs about that topic (like Showit or Squarespace)
- Linking related blog posts in each blog post I write
- Trying to make my session duration higher by refining my copy so they keep reading
What’s encouraging from when I recorded this…
- My users went from 115 a month to over 3,000 a month (blogging has A LOT to do with this)
- Monday is still super popular for me so I will continue sending out emails on that day!
- There are a lot of page views for my website in a day service I started in 2020! It was kind of a spur-of-the-moment decision to create when the Pandemic hit and has brought in more than 20k in revenue to my business!
- My organic search has SKYROCKETED! Just goes to show you that blogging and then sharing it properly is worth it!

Here’s how I track my Google numbers in 2023!
What I found interesting
- THIS BLOG IS SO POPULAR! It kind of drives me crazy because I don’t work with Shopify (other than Shopify Lite with Showit), but it just goes to show you people are as frustrated as I was with figuring this out!
- I still have primarily a LOT of new visitors coming to my site which I love!
- Instagram used to be my highest almost always, but Facebook has (shockingly) surpassed it. Considering I invest almost no time in Facebook, I have no idea why this is the case. YouTube is my second highest and Instagram is my 3rd. So what does this tell me? I need to be investing a heck of a lot more time in my YouTube videos and Facebook group Showit & Squarespace for Creatives!
- When it comes to referral, my best source is Paige Brunton’s blog where she featured me! This shows I should spend more time pitching myself to bloggers that have good SEO.
