Of course, if you’re blogging under a pseudonym about something that you don’t want to share with people close to you, then this won’t be a good option for you. There are plenty of other ways to promote your blog, though, so don’t worry if you can’t turn to family and friends for support.

Using Social Media to Spread the Word
Social media is a great way to connect with new people and to let the belgium telemarketing data know about your blog.

There are lots of different social networks out there to promote your blog on – Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Reddit, Snapchat, and TikTok are some of the biggest and best known.

There’s no “right” social media platform you should use. Just pick whichever one you prefer. Facebook is a good option for many bloggers, though you might find that one of the others suits you better depending on your niche – for instance, Pinterest is great for sharing recipes, and lots of writers and journalists are on Twitter.

Social media sites are free to sign up for. Some, like Facebook, give you the option to create a page for your blog or business that’s separate from your personal profile.

This is a good idea, as it lets your blog readers follow your business page (rather than you having to add them as friends, which can quickly become unmanageable, and also leads to a loss of privacy).

Guest Blogging on Other People’s Blogs
One really powerful way to promote your blog is to write guest posts for other people’s blogs. This means writing a post under your own name, with a link back to your website, that gets published on an established blog.

Lots of large blogs accept guest posts (though some will only take them by invitation).

Some blogs even pay guest posters, making this a particularly good promotional strategy if you want to get freelance blogging work. It can also be a great way to spread a message or to get more samples of your writing.

You don’t need to have a big or well-established blog of your own to be a guest blogger. You just need to be able to write a good, relevant article for your target blog. I’ve got a whole guide to guest posting here if this is a blog strategy that you’d like to try out.

Republishing Content on Huge Sites Like Medium, Quora, and LinkedIn
There are lots of very popular websites that you can write for, completely free, on a huge range of topics.

Some of the best options for bloggers include Medium, Quora (a huge questions and answers site), and LinkedIn (which has LinkedIn Pulse for blog posts).

Medium lets you republish your own blog content, which is a great time-saver if you don’t want to come up with lots of fresh content for guest posts.

You can also republish your content on LinkedIn. On Quora, you might want to use excerpts from your blog posts to answer questions.
