I am 54 years old and I just started a blogging website focusing on our fifties and the struggles of mental health due to our daily stressors.

I am looking for advice on what I can do better to get my website more active with followers. I launched it in March and I know it takes a year or more to gain traction, but any insight any of y’all are willing to post here I would be more than grateful. I do have a Facebook account and Instagram and Pinterest. I would like to do something a little different to market myself.

Thank you

    Try Reddit! There are many niche interests represented on the platform.

    You might snag more followers using video that links to your blog. LinkedIn is becoming more of an influencer site too and there are plenty of opportunities for our demographic. I did see an influencer on Instagram mention that there are not enough of the over 40 demographic so she gets paid more on sponsorships. She seems to do TikTok and then transfer over to other platforms. Look at Feisty Menopause, Dr Stacy Sims and Dr. Tyna Moore for some ideas and context. I follow them because I have been an non-competitive athlete since my 20s and menopause has been sapping my energy and motivation.

    Thank you so much for your response. I really appreciate it. Yes, menopause is difficult and I would to talk about that in more detail. I’ll have to find a young person to help me with the technology aspect of some of this. I’m a Gen X so I fell through the cracks.?❤️❤️❤️

    Partner with other sites in the space and link to their site while they link to your's. Get very active with content and get your voice heard by speaking on panels, put some messaging in tiktoks to increase traffic. Get a marketing plan with branding out there.

    I like your response. I may need a little bit more clarity and assistance with what you mean

    I am technically challenged so I’m kind of at a loss on a few things, but I learned quickly

    I’m not sure I understand how you partner with other sites and if it’s just OK to link their site without permission and I definitely don’t understand how you speak on panels

    But I would be grateful for more information apologize in advance if this sounds ignorant, but I am still learning

    I I have a background in finances so all this is new

    I’ll try to do that. I’m not very good at linking yet, but I’ll try to see if I can get a young techie person to help me.❤️?
