Promoting your posts - Where to start

Saturday, April 19th, 2008 | Blogging with No Comments »

If you are a newbie in the blogosphere you probably need a hint in the right direction. When you think you are writing good quality articles on your blog, it is time to get the word out there. By promoting your posts you will get more traffic and hopefully a few new readers!

The very best way is to submit your articles to social new sites. I will list a few popular ones (in no particular order) that you can check out. Not all of them might be the right for you, it all depends what you are writing about. If you write about food and cooking you shouldn’t submit it to, for example, Sphinn which is a social site for search and interactive marketers.

  • Sphinn
    Main topic is internet marketing and social media
  • Digg
    Many different topics, but doesn’t cover everything
  • Sk-rt
    Covers it all. A site leaning mostly towards females
  • StumbleUpon
    Perhaps the most popular of them. Get people to stumble your post and you will receive tons of traffic in return
  • Propeller
    Everything and anything
  • Mixx
    Does also cover almost everything

Try them out and see which one works the best for you!
