How To Drive Blog Traffic With Facebook

I was casually checking Google Analytics to see how my blog was performing (considering I was a part-time blogger at the time), and I got a shock. Not only had I smashed my initial monthly page view goals, but 70% of my traffic was coming from Facebook.

And here’s the kicker—the return on time invested (ROTI) from Facebook completely crushed all my other social media channels.

So in this post, I’ll show you exactly what I did to get nearly 5,000 people to check out my blog from Facebook alone, without spamming your friends or feeling awkward about it.


How I Used My Facebook Account To Drive Traffic

1. Announce Your Blog

The day my blog went live, I made a simple Facebook post to tell my friends.

Was I scared? Absolutely. Awkward? Totally. But here’s the truth: you should never be ashamed of something you created.

Whether your blog is live or still in the works, make at least one post announcing it. You never know who you might inspire—or help.


2. Create A Facebook Page

Next step: a Facebook page for your blog. Invite your friends, even if it feels pushy. Here’s why:

  • Most of your friends probably won’t see your posts in their busy timelines.

  • Those who are genuinely interested will follow your page, letting your content show up in their feeds regularly.

  • A page lets you promote new posts without spamming your friends.

💡 Tip: Add a Facebook page widget to your blog. Visitors will see it, and even months later, it reminds them to connect with you.

My page recently hit 3,000 likes (from 1,000 at the time of writing) just by keeping it updated and participating in Facebook groups.

Pro move: Schedule posts with Facebook’s scheduler or tools like SmarterQueue. I spend 5–10 minutes on Sundays managing everything.


3. Link Your Page To Your Profile

After creating your page, link it to your personal profile. Set the “Work” section as “Owner” of your Facebook page.

Example: Myke Educate ~ Owner at My Blog.

Why?

  1. You made something awesome—be proud!

  2. People find you when searched for


4. Join Facebook Groups

Honestly, most of my Facebook traffic comes from blogging support groups.

I was skeptical at first, but once I joined a community by Melyssa Griffin, I realized the power:

  • Learn from other bloggers

  • Ask questions and get answers

  • Build connections

  • Share your blog posts strategically

The trick: don’t spam. Give value first, then share your links where allowed.

5. Be Active In Groups

Joining isn’t enough. Be consistent:

  • Interact with posts, answer questions, and share advice

  • Participate in promo threads

  • Follow the 20% creation, 80% promotion rule

  • Spend 5–30 minutes a day in these groups

Even small, consistent efforts pay off big in traffic and connections.


6. Invest In Facebook Ads (Optional)

Organic growth is great, but Facebook’s algorithm can make it slow. A small ad budget can boost awareness and engagement.

  • Boost posts getting traction

  • Target people who already interacted with your content

  • Start small: $15/month can make a difference

💡 Personal tip: Only run ads once you have something to sell or an email list. Ads are more effective when you can monetize the traffic.

7. Start Your Own Facebook Group

Creating a Facebook group is like building your own mini-community.

  • You set the rules

  • You control promotions

  • People join for exclusive content, not just likes

My group for bloggers has grown to 2,300 members, and it drives traffic back to my page and blog consistently.


Summary

If you want massive blog traffic from Facebook, here’s the cheat sheet:

  1. Announce your blog

  2. Create a Facebook page

  3. Link it to your profile

  4. Join active blogging groups

  5. Be consistent in those groups

  6. Boost posts with small ads (once monetized)

  7. Start your own Facebook group

I use a combination of all these strategies, and the results speak for themselves.
