Advice on promoting a blog

[ClaireH-184886]

Hi i am working on a new blog and would like to know if there are any sites where i can publish part of the new blog to gain traffic to my main blog.

What i am looking at is, to publish part of a news story and then have people come to my main site after reading some of the new story.

I have come across accidentally a couple over a year ago but cannot locate them now. I want people to be able to come to my site and read the whole story and then hopefully tell their friends.

Also can anyone recommend decent social bookmarking sites that have a do follow on them to promote my blog please.

Hi Diane,

As you said get connected to various blogging publishing platforms that form part of a network which shares you content in a  non-threatening way.

Added to this, look at using a system like twitterfeed. Twitterfeed is a great way to share content across many social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook and much much more with the click of a button. The moment you post it, its gets shared across many. I have setup one of my blogs to spread news across over 150 platforms.

I would also recommend contacting some top bloggers and sending them mail, to see if they can promote it. get the big boys involved and the rest will fall into place.

Get in touch with the community and give some guest blogggers to post and contribute and you can do the same.

get listed on blog directories such as bloogz.com,kinja.com, bloggeries.com, bloghub.com, blogarama.com and technorati.com to name a few. Get started now

Let me know if this helps.
