Why You're Not Getting Blog Traffic

You’ve poured your heart into your blog. The posts are helpful, the design is beautiful, and you’ve shared them everywhere you can think of. So… why does it feel like no one is reading? Where are the people who need your content? Why are you not getting blog traffic?

Quick answer? If your blog isn’t getting traffic, it’s probably because of keywords—or the lack of them.

And no, this isn’t just an “SEO nerd” thing. Keywords are the secret sauce that helps your blog posts show up in front of the right people at the right time.

When someone searches online for “homeschool morning routine” or “free homeschool printables,” they’re typing in keywords. These words (or phrases) are the breadcrumbs that guide Google (and your readers!) to the content they’re looking for.

If you’re not intentionally using the right keywords in your blog posts, you’re making it harder for your audience to find you. And trust me, no one has time to scroll through 47 pages of targeted search results to stumble across your amazing content.

When you choose the right keywords, here's what happens:

• Your posts rank higher on Google.
• Your ideal audience starts finding your blog.
• More people click, read, and come back for more.

Keywords are most likely the culprit of why you're not getting blog traffic.

Let's talk about it... 

Most homeschool bloggers skip the keyword step entirely. It’s not because they don’t care about getting blog traffic—they absolutely do! It’s usually because no one ever explained how keywords really work in a way they can understand or how simple keywords can be when you know what to do with them.

Does this sound like you? You’ve heard of keywords and SEO, but every time you try to learn more, you end up drowning in complicated terminology like "search intent," "long-tail phrases," and "keyword density."

It’s overwhelming, right? 😅

So you shut the tab and tell yourself, “I’ll figure this out later.” Except later never comes because the process seems way too technical and time-consuming.

Instead, you pour hours into writing amazing content you're extremely passionate about and hope that someone sees it, their life is changed, and you go viral. No SEO required. 💁‍♀️

But here’s the thing... skipping keywords is like writing a heartfelt letter, putting it into the mailbox, and forgetting to put an address on it. Sure, the letter is beautifully written, full of valuable insights—but it’s not going anywhere.

The same goes for your blog posts.

You are most likely writing incredible content (let's be honest!), packed with ideas, advice, and resources that homeschool parents need. But if you’re not using the right keywords, your posts aren’t reaching the audience they’re meant for. Instead, they’re floating aimlessly in the gigantic sea of the internet, waiting for someone to stumble upon them by sheer luck.

We don't have time for all that. 👏

The right keywords give your blog direction when you're not getting blog traffic.

They’re like a neon sign that says, “Hey, this is exactly what you’re looking for!” Without keywords, even the best blog posts can go unnoticed.

And the hard truth is, it doesn’t matter how helpful your content is... if no one is reading it.

But here’s the good news: learning to find and use keywords doesn’t have to be a complicated or overwhelming process. In fact, it can be straightforward, quick, and even a little fun once you see the impact it has on your blog traffic!

When you take the time to learn how to choose the right keywords, it’s like putting the perfect address on that letter and sending it directly to the people who need it most. And that’s when the magic starts to happen.
