“Why Did My Blog Views Drop? How to Deal with It Without Losing Motivation”
“Some days you’ll have readers. Some days you’ll feel invisible. But every post you write is planting a seed.”
If you've been blogging regularly and suddenly your views go from 50 to 10 — it can feel discouraging. You put in effort, time, heart, and even research. So why the dip? And more importantly, how do you deal with it?
Let’s talk about this reality that almost every blogger — from hobbyist to professional — experiences at some point.
💔 The Reality: It Happens to All of Us
No matter how much SEO or effort you apply, your blog traffic will fluctuate. Some weeks are buzzing with readers. Some weeks feel like an empty hall.
Before you blame yourself or your content — take a deep breath.
📉 Why Blog Views Drop (And It’s Normal!)
-
Search Trends Shift
-
Topics that performed well in one season may lose interest in the next. For example, a blog on “Home Temple Decor” might trend around festivals and dip afterward.
-
-
Google’s Algorithm Changes
-
A blog might fall slightly in ranking if Google updates how it filters results — even if your content is still great.
-
-
Lack of Sharing or Promotion
-
Maybe you posted it once and forgot to re-share it on Pinterest, Instagram, or WhatsApp. Most blog traffic doesn’t just come from Google.
-
-
Too Many Similar Posts Online
-
If 20 other blogs post the same topic with more optimized titles or images, yours may get lost in the crowd — temporarily.

It Was a Temporary Spike
-
Some blog views come from viral moments or lucky pins. If those fade, so will traffic. But don’t panic — it means your blog can go viral again.

🧠 How to Handle It Without Losing Hope
1. Refresh the Blog Post
Go back, add a new section, update the title, include a recent Pinterest image, or embed a related product. Google loves fresh, updated content.
2. Repost It Like It’s New
Don’t be afraid to re-share your old blog on:
-
Instagram stories with a new hook
-
Pinterest with a new graphic and caption
-
Your WhatsApp status or a business group
Most people didn’t see it the first time.
3. Track Progress Monthly, Not Daily
Looking at daily views can break your motivation. Measure growth monthly or quarterly. Did you grow from 10 to 50 last month? That’s success.
4. Focus on Value, Not Vanity Metrics
Remember: even if only 10 people read your post — they chose your words. That’s powerful. Write for those who come back. Not for numbers.
✨ What This Taught Me
As someone who juggles art, product work, and blog creation — I’ve realized: blogging is a long game. Some posts perform slowly at first and then become evergreen hits. Some take off fast and fade.
That’s okay.
Every blog you post builds your authority, voice, and value. Even if views drop, your skill grows. Your catalog grows. Your brand grows.
💡 Final Thought
Blogging isn’t a numbers game — it’s a connection game.
Keep showing up.
Keep writing.
Keep sharing.
The right readers will come. And when they do, they’ll find a treasure trove of your thoughts, ideas, and creations — waiting just for them.
