Its one thing to create a blog and post now and then, but another to actually promote your blog. Unless you like to keep a personal journal, solely for you, then you should start promoting your blog. There are several ways of doing so, I will tell you what I have done in the past week or so to promote mine...
Social Networks:
-I have linked my blog to the social networks and peer to peer messenger services I belong to
-Facebook link
-AIM profile
-ePortfolio
Word of Mouth:
-I have mentioned other blogs and websites/articles
-these people have noticed and started to comment back on my posts
-I have commented on others blogs, gaining recognition and attention
-drop the URL of my blog on a comment if they are curious
Email:
-I have linked my blog URL in my email signature
-this is sent out to family, friends, peers, faculty, professors, employees/employers, and many more
Online sites:
-I have signed up with sites like Weblogs and Blogdigger
-these sites update other blog-directory sites everytime I post something new or update my blog
These are just a few techniques I used to circulate my blog. They get the word out that my blog is out there, and also provide an extra link to get to my blog. The more people you recieve on your blog each day, the more chance for exciting conversation. This is what the blog is all about.
