<b>How To Promote</b> Your <b>Blog</b> | Successful <b>Blogging</b> Posted: 24 Aug 2014 02:22 AM PDT  What are the best ways to promote your blog? Well, I asked some top bloggers for their best blog promotion tips and want to share them with you here.   Leverage the influencers of others in your niche: there are bloggers in your niche that have direct influence over your target audience. You can leverage that influence to grow your own blog but the great thing is that this all starts with helping. Focus on developing relationships with key bloggers; engage with them via social media, promote their content, write an awesome guest post for them, link out to it and most importantly – let them know about it. When you publish a blog post that says awesome stuff about someone, they will be more inclined to share it because it's a validation of their authority. Your primary goal should be to build an audience – a readership. If you have an audience, you can monetize it – period. Repeat visitors (a readership) are most valuable, so focus on list building and social media – and making strong connections through conversations and responses!   Blog commenting is what put me on the map and the best way to get in front of your audience. By leaving genuine comments on blogs within your niche you can easily grab the attention of their readers. People will naturally become curious when they start seeing you everywhere they turn and eventually want to visit your blog. The number one tip I offer is to be yourself. If you try to be someone you are not, your audience will see it immediately. Share some personal stuff once in a while—people connect with people. Be human! If you have a distinct personality and voice in your writing, people will keep coming back for more, because you will build a relationship with them from the other side of the computer. Pick a social network and master it. When you try to master multiple at once, you spread yourself too thin, see little results and get burnt out. Personally, I chose Twitter because it allows for high-frequency posting & I can increase the amount of followers I have by connecting with more people every day. Using this method, I've amassed roughly 36,000 followers in the last month–making Twitter my largest social avenue for traffic. (Now, on to Instagram!) My favorite blog promotion tip is to interview other successful people in your niche. This can be done with a blog post, but my favorite at the moment is by doing podcast interviews. On the day your interview goes live, the person you've interviewed will share your blog with their audience.  Good old ethical networking on social media sites, active niche related forums, popular groups and communities.       What's your favorite way to promote your blog?

<b>How to Promote</b> Your <b>Blog</b> Post | Internet Billboards Posted: 26 Aug 2014 06:00 AM PDT 6 Flares Facebook 0 Twitter 5 LinkedIn 1 Email -- Google+ 0 Pin It Share 0 StumbleUpon 0 6 Flares × "I'm publishing great content on my blog just like they told me to … but my traffic is abysmal. How can I get my audience to read my posts?" Much like the tree falling in the forest with no one around to hear it — you know, the one with the lousy publicist? — blog posts need a little help to reach the eager eyes of your audience. Sure the Field of Dreams axiom "If you build it, they will come" made for good cinema, but it has no place in today's crowded, noisy blogosphere. If you want people to read your stuff, you just have to hustle. No two ways about it. Here are a few ideas to get you started. Each time you publish a blog post: As soon as you publish a post, post a link to it on each of your social networks (including Pinterest if it includes a strong, unique visual). Submit each blog post URL to social bookmarking sites (StumbleUpon, Digg, etc.). Submit each post to your content curation sites on Internet Billboards, ShareBloc, BizSugar, etc. Post the link to your Facebook and LinkedIn Groups as applicable to the Group's purpose. Invite the people in your tribe to subscribe to your RSS feed so that each post will be delivered to their email inbox or feed reader. (Learn more about RSS and feed readers) Include a link to your most recent blog post in your next e-newsletter. Email the link to clients who may find the content particularly useful. ("Hey Paul, I seem to recall you asking me about [topic] last time we met — thought you'd find this latest blog post of ours helpful …") Bonus Tip I Learned From Guy Kawasaki: When you link to your post on Twitter, schedule four posts, eight hours apart, to make sure you hit all time zones. How about you? How do you tell the world about your latest blog posts? Tell us in the Comments — we'd love to hear from you!
