Many of us write blogs. Blogs could have a lot of purposes promoting yourself, your business or product, earning money from ads, or just getting thoughts off your chest. Any purpose you choose you want people to read your blog, and you want people to be interested in your blog's content.
In addition to writing your blog's content and making it as interesting as possible, you should actively promote your blog. You need your blog to be easily found by new readers, and you want the readers to come back to your blog every time you update it.
Once your new blog is "on air", send all your email contacts a message and tell them about it. Add your blog's url to your email's signature.
One of the most elementary methods you should use to promote your blog is a mailing list. Create a form in your blog where your readers can submit their email. Save the list of emails in your email application as a group, and then you can send them all a message whenever you update your blog. Remember to fill the recipients' addresses in the bcc field, because many of them don't want their email to be exposed. Remember also to give them a possibility to be removed from the mailing list, so your messages won't be considered as spam.
Search Engine Optimization (seo) Make sure your blog is optimized for search engines, in order for your blog to show up in search engines such as Google. For seo techniques, you can find plenty of articles on the web (you can find an article I wrote on the subject on this site). Give a deep thought about your titles. Get your blog linked from other websites, like forums, groups, social networks and so on the more links, the better.
Facebook Create a group in Facebook, dedicated to your blog. Invite all your friends to join it. Every time you update your blog, click "message all members" on your group page, and write them a message. You can use my Facebook group as an example: /home.php#/group.php?gid=19544533216
RSS Have a rss feed on your blog. You can create one from a simple text file (using the notepad and saving it as xml), or you can use a rss creator (various rss creators can be downloaded from the web). Make sure your rss feed is well formatted, and uses as much fields as you can. In the description field, where you can, add images. Images give a better look to your rss feed. You can use my rss feed as an example (from the rss feed's browser window, click view - source): /FaceGlobalRssFeed.xml Once your rss feed is ready or updated, submit it, with your blog's title and url, to: /. Pingomatic will update other websites about your blog updates.
Digg Submit your blog posts to /. If your post gets 50 diggs in 24 hours, it will show up on the front page, and that means thousands of visitors to your blog. Even if you don't get these 50 diggs, and your post doesn't show up in the front page, it appears in the "incoming" page, and it still gives you a decent amount of visitors.
