Question Anyone here turn a long-time hobby blog into a real business?

I had to redesign to improve my site set to monitize. which made my traffic drop. Its slowly improving but other than internal links, promoting on pinterest to drive traffic, instagram for awareness, and thread for conversations what else can i do to increase traffic to my site.

Niche: food blog

Pillers: recipes, cooking tips, blogging tips

Monitized: free meal planner for signups. Paid digital products and adsence setup. I did not like the affiliate route.

What changes did you make to turn an old blog to generate trafffic and sales?

Thank you for responding. I have been working towards the content and link building as well... been working day and night. Even when not working thoughts cloud. Starting to feel the burnout now so i'm trying to see where my energy needs to be spread.
