Recently I was reading a shocking statistic that 87% of the elderly living in poverty in the US are women which explains the rise of all these personal finance blogs.<\/p>\n
Are you a mom blogger trying to find a way to grow your blog? \u00a0Ever wondered what the top bloggers know that you don\u2019t?<\/p>\n
Maybe you have been blogging for 12 months or more and you just cannot seem to get more than 1,000 sessions a month in traffic.<\/p>\n
It is possible that you are hoping to get to the magic 25,000 sessions a month in order to get into Mediavine or Monumetric.<\/p>\n
You see many bloggers struggle to gain traction on their blogs simply because they are not quite sure how to explode their traffic.<\/p>\n
In this post, I am going to spend some time outlining the top 7 personal finance blogs as well as their top performing topics.<\/p>\n
As a mom blogger you will learn how to find great topics for your blog as well as the best personal finance blogs to follow so that you can help lower than 87% statistic.<\/p>\n
The idea is that you will use it as a framework that will help you to take your blog to the next level and even develop a content strategy for the next 12 months.<\/p>\n
Just in case you are brand new to blogging or even if you struggle a little bit with English let me spend a little time explaining a few things.<\/p>\n
A personal finance blog is one that offers advice on budgeting, making money, spending money, saving money and even investments.<\/p>\n
This advice is mainly developed for the individual or family income with a view to taking them from where they are to a better version of themselves.<\/p>\n
You would see a whole lot of examples where the authors saved money for a short or long period of time.<\/p>\n
In some instances, they will share screenshots where they managed to generate income from investments or even their blog itself.<\/p>\n
It is a great resource for anyone looking to improve their personal finances.<\/p>\n
As you can imagine in the last 10 years since the popularity of Dave Ramsey there has been a number of different blogs specializing in personal finance.<\/p>\n
I spent some time looking at the top 22 personal finance bloggers recommended by many well-known sites.<\/p>\n
After digging deeper than just face value I came to the realization that they are not all at the same level in terms of traffic or website visitors.<\/p>\n
It is my personal view that the more successful blogs are the ones that manage to command a larger audience.<\/p>\n
So, in the end, I chose those blogs that had a minimum of 3,000 visitors a day from their top 5-10 posts.<\/p>\n
Of course, a single blog can have 100,000 thousand pages with each page getting 10 visitors a day. \u00a0I would prefer to have a 100-page site with each page getting 1,000 views a day.<\/p>\n
If you are familiar with Maslow\u2019s Hierarchy of Needs you will know that at the very bottom are the physiological needs which are food, clothing and shelter.<\/p>\n
This is one reason why bloggers in the food, real estate, personal finance, and fashion\/beauty niche tend to do well.<\/p>\n
In general, people need money to purchase these physiological needs so it is one reason why personal finance blogs tend to perform better compared to other niches.<\/p>\n
With that in mind here are the top 7 personal finance bloggers as well as their daily visitors.<\/p>\n
As you can see they all receive varying amounts of traffic but the bottom line is that the traffic is enough to generate a full-time income as a blogger.<\/p>\n
So, what sort of honey have they made available to attract all those bees to their beehives? \u00a0Let\u2019s take a look in more detail.<\/p>\n
During my research, I discovered similarities and differences across all of the 22 personal finance blogs that I found.<\/p>\n
One thing to note that a number of suggested ways to save and make money will differ by country.<\/p>\n
At the end of the day, you should be able to find a similar or alternative service where you are that you can use for your family situation.<\/p>\n

There are many items in the report that I am unable to explain as I have not tried using the suggested resources.<\/p>\n
The goal of this post is to outline to you what is working for these top bloggers so that you can generate your own similar ideas to attract an audience.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s say you want to write about one of these topics as it suits your blog and journey really well.<\/p>\n
Looking at one of the worse performing topics from this huge list I will do a deep dive to help you decide how to get results from your post over time.<\/p>\n
The worse performing post which is getting only 78 visitors a day is on the topic living in a camper.\u00a0 By the way, that works out at over 2,300 visitors a month for one post.<\/p>\n
Suppose you and your partner also live in a camper van and you want to write about your experience.<\/p>\n
Using two keyword tools I will take a look at the keyword \u2018living in a camper\u2019 to see what results I get.<\/p>\n
