How to market your blog?

February 29th, 2008 | Blogs

So you’ve got a blog. How do you market it? How do you get people to subscribe to that RSS feed you have? How do you keep them coming back?

I looked around the web and found some blogs that give tips and techniques for marketing your blog. Here’s are a few links:

Lee Odden gives 30 Tips of Marketing Your Blog. And on the same site Jolina covers the 8 Tips to More Effective Blogging from Aaron Wall’s session at SMX West.
Heidi Cohen offers some Blog Marketing Strategies (especially for corporates) in this 2005 post.
Blog Marketing Journal has good collection of posts on different techniques for marketing and promoting your blog. They cover SEO, email surveys and more.
A lot of online marketing techniques can be applied to promote your blog. Check this Wikipedia article for some basic tactics in the right column.

How do you promote your blog? Or do you?

I never consciously marketed my blog, but I think I could use some of the tips in links above

Great post Nirav, I’ve been getting much more serious about blogging, why not generate some revenue from your efforts. I just found this http://www.problogger.net - They get you started on the right track, no hype or gimmick - it’s work, but possible. This was really interesting there, hope it helps!
