It’s a question that I get every time one of my friends start a blog. There are so many ways out there for any blogger to tell a wide range of people about your blog. The reach is large and can be rewarding if you do it the right way.
The trick is to find where your competitor bloggers are talking about your subject. The best way to go about this is by plugging in your niche + forum in your favorite search engine. Aside from that, here is a list to help spread the word about your blog.
Join forums
Best way to drive traffic to your blog is to join a forum and help other users by commenting of their posts. A blogger can generate a web presence and provide a service to others. Free information is a web traffic resource.
Use Entrecard
Most new bloggers join Entrecard to increase the visibility of their blog. I’m just started experimenting with Entrecard but it is possible to leverage it to your advantage. Check it out and see what it can do for you.
Comment on other blogs
Develop relationships with other bloggers in your niche. Give a valuable comment about their post and engage in conversations. Please do not comment “great post” or “loved it!”. Expand on that thought and tell them why you thought it was a great post or why you loved it.
If you haven’t heard about Twitter then you’ve been living under a rock. Get on and join the crowd! It’s a great way to connect with other people all over the world.
I’ve always thought that Facebook is the new Myspace. Everyone is networking on Facebook and it’s also another great way to market your blog. Chances are that you have friends on Facebook who you can share your blog with.
Article Submissions
As a blogger, you probably have a ton of articles to share.. right? If so, submit some to a site such as Ezine. You can get credit for your article and even drive traffic to your own personal blog. Some article submission sites pay bloggers to write for their site.
Email Signature
This is a free and easy way to market your blog. Just add your blog url address to the bottom of every email you send. For example, your email might say:
Hey John! I’m fine. I’d be more than happy to babysit the kids over the weekend.

StumbleUpon
Get your site Stumbled by other users. Visit stumbleupon to get the gist of it but there are plugins for Wordpress bloggers to add to the bottom of every post. By having your readers stumble upon your site, it can get shared to the stumbleupon community.
Write A Guest Post for Another Blogger
It’s nearly the same as submitting an article to article submission sites but you can write a specific article for another popular blogger. By doing so, you give the blogger some great content and in return you will get traffic forwarded back to your own blog. It’s a win-win-win situation.
Sharing with Family and Friends
Spread the word by actually telling your friends and family that you’ve got a new blog. A great friend or family member would do the best thing and tell anothe r person. Next thing you know, you’ve got word of mouth spreading.

Making money online is not for everyone. It takes hard work, determination and persistance. Also need to dicipher between legit and scams of home businesses earning money online.
