✨ 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.
