Travel Blog Diary: Week 17 — Lost One Follower

Here’s what happened in week seventeen of my travel blog journey, where I posted more on Instagram but lost a follower.

Last week was a slow week for the blog due to a work offsite. This week I tried to share more photos on IG, but looks like that backfired and I lost one follower 😂. At least I got more views compared to last week! I also wrote my newsletter for this month, but I didn’t have any time left to write new blog posts. Here’s a summary of my progress this week:

Final Thoughts

While posting more on IG does lead to more IG views, IG views don’t seem to translate to blog views. I will shift my focus to improving SEO instead by getting more backlinks. That will have to wait one more week though, since next weekend I’ll be collecting content in Las Vegas!

Come back in two weeks to see how my Vegas trip goes!
