I’m just going to get down to business on this one. Blogging is exciting and fun for most writers, but when it comes to promoting, it can be challenging and tedious. I’ve put together a list of 5 free and easy ways you can promote your blog!
1. Twitter
First, you need to follow Twitter users that are of relevance to your blog. For instance, if you have a fashion blog, following other fashion blogs is a really good idea because sometimes they will follow you, but more than likely, their followers/readers will be interested in following you. Always follow your followers! (unless of course you find their content offensive-porn and what not) It is the courteous, supportive, and respectful thing to do. Being a supportive blogger to other bloggers will stir the same support for your own blog. Tweet every blog post!
2. Join Blogger Forums
This can be somewhat time-consuming, but its a great way to get your blog posts out to the world of bloggers. Afterall, I find that fellow bloggers are often who read blogs. I have gotten a pretty good number of followers from blogger forums. First, register with the forums, then post your blogs to the appropriate threads.
Blog forums I like are:
You can also find blogs within your niche i.e. food, fashion, travel, etc.
3. YAHOO! Answers
Soooo many people use Yahoo! Answers to ask all types of questions. You should search for questions that are being asked within your niche and post answers. Always, leave the link to your blog!
4. Guest Blogging
Whether you be the guest blogger or you invite another blogger to write on your blog, this is a great way of exposure, as well as supporting another blogger.
5. Join Blogger Chicks
And last but certainly not least, let me and my team support and promote your blog with Blogger Chicks. We endlessly support women who blog through social networking(Twitter, Forums, Blogging, and many more to come). To join us, just follow us on Twitter and/or WordPress, and the promo will begin instantly!
