When it comes to blog promotion you need to learn to W.A.G. Your blog in front of your potential audiance (readers).

When it comes to blogging you need traffic and not just traffic you need loyal readers. I have said “blogging is easy, until you put your mind into it!” Remembering that little phrase may save you a lot of trouble and heart ache along your journey.

There are many good low cost e-books and video’s out there that can show you that stuff. (Here is the one that I used). It really doesn’t matter if you use word press or blogger either. I prefer word press dot org, blogs. With this blogging platform you host it yourself on your own domain.  I won’t be showing you how to set up your hosting or word press. org blog with Fantastico either.

What I will be showing you is 20 ways to promote your blog. This is the good stuff. The stuff most Bloggers will not share with the general blogging public. In reality, there are very few solid books or ebooks covering the topic of professional blogging, and the reason for that is an obvious one:

Using Social Media Marketing Tactics

By this I mean social media services such as delicious and stumble-upon, as well as social news sites such as Digg and Reddit.

1. Create an account at each of these services.

2. Use the same name as your blog if you can. If not then use your real-name

3. Create outrageous content that you use only at those spots and in the post have a link back to your blog.

I like to entice the readers with a call to action in my content to get them to click over to my blog.

Here’s how to do it:

• Write a unique and outrageous article.

If it is valentines day, instead of writing an article about what to get your spouse or girl friend, write about thing to do for yourself when you have no significant other in your life.

• Make sure the content is really meaty.

Provide good but in-complete content. What I mean by good and in-complete  is this:

 You’ve seen a seriel on television or a movie that ends with To be Continued… Like Back to the future haven’t you? it’s the same premis. Write a quality article, something that you think readers would enjoy and maybe even pay for. Then at the end of the article write for more tips on ____ click here for the bigger picture.

I do this strategy all the time on  Warrior Forum from my blog IMWar… go ahead click the link and check it out.  

Note: the click here part should be hyperlinked to your blog post on more tips, tricks or strategies about the topic.

This one is a classic…

 Almost all blogs have a comment area after each post which will allow you to leave your name and site url  above the  text box to leave your comment. All you have to do is go to blogs that are in your niche and comment on your competitors blog post. I wouldn’t just leave a comment like: Great post keep up the good work.

No, I would leave a unique comment. Really, leave your two cents ( be nice) and maybe leave a tip or two of your own in order keep the conversation going.

You will be surprised at how many of your competitors readers will click on your link. The more you comment the more traffic you will get from this strategy and possibly new readers, especially if you leave outrageous comments that have some good meat to them.

One thing you need to do is track your promotions. Whether it is a free of paid products that you are promoting. You are about to discover one of the most powerful marketing tools to be found on the net beside the use of an auto-responder.

If you ask any top Blogger or marketer “what is your secret to promotion success?” they will all answer “they test and track there results”.

The reason you should track and test is to see which promotion is actually working for you, then eliminate the ads that aren’t working. With a good ad tracker you should be able to not only track hits and site referrals but track actual sales from your promotions as well.  This will aide in your decision of which ads to eliminate if any.
There are many paid and free trackers on the net today. The one that I recomend is this one.  
 

I even test and track my blog post to see which one actually gets more hits than the others. This way I can write more of what you like to read than just writing and posting.
