Good job getting started! It can be easy to get discouraged because blogging is harder than most people realize when they start. So be sure to set yourself for success with realistic (S.M.A.R.T.) goals and time for yourself! A lot of bloggers get burnt out before 3 years in the business(that is not scientific - thats my observation!)
From what you've shared with us, I believe that your next milestone should be 10,000 pageviews per month. At that point, the momentum will keep you going and your engagement will increase and it will be encouraging to get comments and feedback! In the meantime - keep going!! I believe in you!
My #1 strategy for growth might surprise you. It is not social media. It is not SEO. Those are important - but nothing beats email. Did you know that already?
When someone signs up for your email, they have said, "Hey! I like that - tell me more!". And you need to! How often have you found someone you love online and then promptly forgot they exist? What if they popped up in your inbox with exactly that thing/tip that you were struggling with?
That, my friends is email marketing. It is NOT spamming people with annoying things that they only want to unsubscribe from.

Optimize Every Pageview
Congratulations on your current audience! Let's make sure that each page impression serves your particular audience really well. So these recomendations are all about how to make the absolute most of every single visit:
1. Posting Often! If you notice that your pageviews go up on days when something is published, its a signal they love the new content. I'll send along my favorite tips for repurposing and recycling content to make it easier to post more often.
2. Keeping your readers engaged longer. More pageviews is better! I have 5 important tweaks to increase time spent on the page.
3. Optimized Ad placement - this is soo important! Peak at the best ad placements in the recommendations below.

Expand Your Audience
Congratulations on your traffic and growth! You've indicated you have over 10,000 monthly impressions and that you're growing month over month. So all things are looking up! I believe there are two things to do from here: optimize existing traffic and get strategic.
First - if you're over 1million pageviews a month, let me know - we have a referral for you. Someone we believe will be able to help you take the next steps. If you're not there yet - keep reading.
In these checklists, we're going to work on strategies to grow your reach. Keep in mind these are generalizations and may not work in your exact situation. Schedule a free call with me if you aren't sure if these are for you.
Food, Fashion, Home Decor & DIY Bloggers
If you're a blogger where visuals play a large part - ie: food, fashion, home decor, diy - and your biggest traffic driver is social media, then I would recommend focusing on SEO. And vice-versa. In my experience a well optimized site will be in an almost neck-in-neck competition between SEO and Social Media (Pinterest to be exact). So if Pinterest is driving the majority of your traffic (by more than, say, 20% over the others), then I would recommend a serious look at SEO - you might have a lot of room for growth there. If Pinterest is down by like 40 - 50% below organic/referral traffic, then you have a lot of room to grow in Pinterest. I'm sending a checklist to you on both - Pinterest & SEO. But as always, I recommend selecting the one that is best for YOUR situation.
Authors / Consultants
If you're a blogger where visuals do not play a part - then you need to get offline and do networking - for book signings, speaking gigs, tv show appearances, and the like. Email marekting will be very important strategy for you - long term.

1 - the audience doesn't like it enough to refer it
2 - you have no marketing in place
1 - the audience doesn't like it enough to refer it
