How new is the blog? Do you share it on social media? How do you share it? Do you preamble the post to arouse curiosity? Do you share individual posts instead of sharing the blog site itself. (i.e. Nick. com/blog/story of nick instead of nick. com/blog)
Try this: Try to think of the kind of people who are normally interested in the topics in your blog. Take some time to do this. Then think about other things that might be known about them: their kind of humor, etc. You might also want to read the other stuff that they read to get an idea of what you could be doing wrong.
