✨ Behind the Blog: The Post I Never Expected to Go Viral
Alright friends, quick story from the archives… Back in my health & wellness blogging era, I wrote a post because my ear was throbbing like it had its own heartbeat. I remembered my grandma’s warm salt sock remedy, tried it, it worked… and because I was a blogger, I did what bloggers do:I wrote about it. 👉 Here’s the post that STILL brings me daily traffic: https://carlajgardiner.com/salt-sock-relieved-grandmas-earache/ No strategy. No fancy SEO. No keyword magic.Just me, a burning earache, and a salt sock. And somehow… THIS became my top-performing post and Pinterest pin of all time. Why? Because it was: - Simple - Searchable - Solving one specific problem - Evergreen (earaches don’t take days off 😅) Your reminder today: Sometimes the “that’s too small to matter” idea becomes the blog that runs laps around the ones you agonized over. Drop a 🔥 if you’ve got a post like this ... or if you want help creating one.
