Promoting Your Blog

May 1st 2008 11:18
OMG GUYZ I’VE GOT LIKE THE MOST AWESUM BLOG UP! Old story. The problem is, it’s no use being awesome if nobody knows it exists.

So how do you promote your blog? Here are some options.

Social Networking Sites. Digg is a great way to promote yourself. They way it works is that if you submit a webpage, people who like it will vote on it until, POP! it hits the frontpage. There is a similar set up for sites such as Reddit and Furl. If you have not already, go to these sites NOW and get an account. StumbleUpon has a similar setup, and is worth a look. Bookmarking your page on Del.icio.us is also a good first step.


People you know are the best place to start. They’ll be willing to look at your site anyway so flog it to them as hard as you can. A bulletin on Myspace is a good start.

Be a Corporate Slut. Some awesome dude on the net whom I have completely forgotten has a thing called sex and cash. The sex is the awesome – the cash is the needed. When Actor X stars in the low budget production of the play he’s helped to adapt form Swedish because he loves it, that’s the sex. When he does a cross promotional ad for his latest blockbuster movie, there’s the cash. So when you’re blogging about the latest celebraty gossip, there’s the cash. This will get you the steady traffic flow to be able to inject more of the sex into your work.

Hey Brenton

Awesome post! A couple of questions; how do I get the Add to buttons that you have? Is it a widget and where do I get it? How do you embed it on your post / blog?
