How to Increase Blog Post Views with Browser Notifications

1. What are browser notifications? 00:43
   • A lot of times you will see these on content heavy blogs or websites.
   • You’ll get a notification in your browser asking “Would you like to receive push notifications from this website?”
   • Whenever that blog publishes new content, users will get a notification in their browser.
   • You might think “Oh I wouldn’t want that. Those are annoying.” But the numbers don’t lie. Browser notifications work. Just because you don’t like them, doesn’t mean that others will feel the same way.

   • Since then, 20,000 people have signed up for push notifications from his websites.
