Have you ever heard the phrase, “Shop til you drop!”. Besides being a retail moniker for years it was a game show in the mid 90’s. I have been very busy promoting this blog today, and the results show. I have been featured on 3 or 4 of those Entrecard MeMe’s and as a result have seen an increased Entrecard rating. Also, I dropped in on digital point last night and made about 30 posts with another 40 today. I have been reviewing people’s blogs/websites and have also been getting this blog reviewed. Quite a few members like it, with only minor suggestions such as changing the header, etc. But you know, I got free visits just by asking for them.

Plus, I have been receiving more traffic from stumbleupon. January has already seen this blog pass 1,100 uniques by the time this posts. We are just that popular! My other sites are also zapping up bandwidth like crazy, not sure what January has on it, but it seems like a new birth.

I know why I am getting those results those. CONSTANT PROMOTION. If you have a blog and you are not promoting it, how much traffic do you have? I dare you to show me a A-List blog that hasn’t run a contest, or done some sort of promotion in order to get visitors. There are NONE. So here is a bunch of ways to promote your blog.

  • Go to other blogs within your niche and leave comments, if someone leaves a comment on your blog respond to it and visit their blog
  • Browse digital point and take advantage of stumble/digg exchanges
  • Join a secret voting network…more on that later.
  • Advertise on other bloggers sites, for cash, entrecards, whatever
  • Run a contest, give away prizes, cash, items, entrecard credits, whatever
  • WRITE GOOD CONTENT
  • Submit stuff to social media networks
  • Open a forum
  • Start a mailing list


Bottom Line: PROMOTE, PROMOTE, PROMOTE!
