Hello again and Happy New Year! Like you, my last post was all about my New Year’s Resolutions and how I want to grow my blog in 2016. With this, I took to the blogging networks and asked other bloggers a few questions about Social Sharing.
I asked each blogger how many monthly views they have, their top three referring sites, and any tips they would like to share about social sharing.
I am very pleased to say that I gathered quite a bit of information from fellow bloggers and would like to share it with you all here.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is currently my third active blogging month and I have around 4.5k views for the month of December
My top three referring sites are StumbleUpon, Reddit, and Facebook.
My tip: “Try a few different things at a time and use what sticks. What works for one person may not be what will work for you”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Suzi Whitford of startamomblog.com has been blogging for 3 months and has around 4.2k views for the month of December.
Her top three referring sites are catholicnewsagency.com, carrotsformichaelmas.com, and Facebook/search engines.
Her tip: “My #1 tip so far is to be nice to others – favors are often times returned.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Anthony D. Greene of tonygreene113.com has been using WP for little over 9 years and has around 200k views for the month of December.
His top referring sites are Facebook, Google, and Pinterest.
His tip: “To get the widest dispersion and saturation I use viralcontentbuzz.com and the sharing groups here on FB. G+ has a much better SEO and google saturation. Join communities there with people in the same niche or two.”

Jennifer Peters of BecauseImCheap.com has around 30k views per month.
Her top referring sites are Google Search Engine (SEO), Facebook, and StumbleUpon.
Her tip: “Make sure your SEO optimized. If people can’t find you, they can’t read your fantastic content.”

Jay Gray of jaydgray.blog.com has around 250k views per month.
His top referring sites are Google, Twitter, and Instagram.
His tip: “Work harder and invest in yourself any way you can!!”

Thanks for these tips from fellow bloggers. It just so happens that I’m approaching my 3-month blog anniversary and it’s nice to be able to compare my page views to others and see how others are getting their content out there.
Thanks for the great tips. My blog is almost 3 months old and it’s nice to be able to compare my page view numbers to other people. It’s also awesome to hear how other people are getting their content out there!
Oh this is so interesting to read! I need to work more on my social media side of my blog
II’m approaching my fourth month and I only have 500 views in my month of December this is a motivator.
