Hi Kate, I just started listening to your Podcast. Thank you so much for your tips. As a DIY'er I thought I was doing pretty well, I grew my Pinterest views to 1.5mil a month in about 4 months. I'm very proud of that, however I'm still a novice. I was posting very sharable content for writers. Pretty much exclusively writing prompts. Within the last week I began posting more content, still niche related and I haven't changed the posting schedule of the content that got me all those views but my daily views dropped from 150,000 per day to 12,000. However, I think something happened because it showed 0 domain views for 3 days but I had more average traffic to my blog than ever. Is it because I changed so much at once? Or is this a glitch? I hope that made sense.
