Blog Promotion
If you do have a blog, it’s important to remember to promote your blog, especially if you currently have low traffic numbers. Promoting your blog should take about the same amount of time as creating each post. Here are some effective and quick ways to promote your blog:
- Write a list of the 20 blogs you respect and email them and introduce yourself and your blog.
- Comment on posts from other blogs. Leave useful and relevant comments, not spam.
- Share your blog content on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.
If you really want to make your marketing efforts a success… make sure people are reading what you have to share on your blog.
