How to promote Blog Free-

There are so many discrete ways to promote your blog.

What you decide is best for you depends on the reasons you want to promote your blog in the first place.

• Do you want the growth of a potential audience to ultimately sell advertising space on your blog? 
• Do you want to set up your blog as an authority in your niche?
• Does your blog support service or product that you promote on your website?

All of the above things are the best ways to use a blog to help any business, but there are different ways of promotion that can impact all goals.

There are many ways to promote a blog. For Example SEMrush. It is a software(as a service platform) for digital marketers.

1. Focus on SEO (search engine optimization) content:

  To Grow any blog and SEO content go hand in hand. SEO content is content that has the goal of ranking on search engines for popular search queries (keywords) to attract organic traffic to your blog from search engine users.

SEO advice can range from the very logical (write a clear meta description and use the target keyword in the title of your post ) to the technical means proper use of coding and mobile-friendly design) so if you are unfamiliar I would suggest checking out some industry blogs to learn the basics. Some suggestions are given below:

1. Search Engine Journal
2. Backlinko blog
3. SEMrush blog

2. Always Write “Enduring” Content:

The important thing for adding SEO content to any blog would be a target topic in your niche that can be the best content. What do I mean by enduring? Enduring is a concept in SEO that means the topic of the post will be relevant for years to come, as opposed to a seasonal topic that is only relevant for a short period.

This way, as you write your blog posts about “enduring” topics with SEO in mind you are future-proofing your site to stay relevant for search engine users for a long time of period.

3. Invite guest bloggers:

Another easy way to promote your blog is to let the other people write for you. Guest blogging is a way for other bloggers to reach a new customer by contributing a post of theirs to your blog. Usually, a guest post includes a link to the guest author’s website in return for the post to make it a win to win for both parties. If your guest blogger has more devoted followers then it is batter for you. When the guest author shares their new post on your blog, it attracts their audience to your site and makes your blog look more attractive. You only are the backbone of your blog and your willingness to share your strategies and insights are truly inspiring to your entire team. 

4. Mention influencers in your blog posts:

Another strategy to getting more audience in your industry aware of your blog is by mentioning influencers in your post. You can include a quotation of theirs that you like, share one of their related posts or article, or just mention how helpful their website is for what you are talking about.

After sharing them in your post, reach out to them over email or social media to let them know about you. Most people will be flattered that you thought of them and included them as a part of your post. No-one knows, they could be interested in your blog and could share the post.

5. Build an Email Marketing List:

Are you trying to grow your blog post without an email list? You may need to think again about your strategy.

Building an email list from your audience is one of the most important ways to build loyalty with your audience and keep your audience engaged again and again. However, as this post explains, you need to offer clear value when asking people to sign up. No one wants more random emails in their inbox. You should offer any special deals, insider tips, and secrets, or early access to a new product. Evert Users want a clear incentive for signing up for another list.

Not to mention, it’s a great way to measure your growth over time - how fast is your email list growing in tandem with your number of posts? 

Do your blog posts inspire people to sign up for your email list more than others?

6. Contribute to Upvote Communities:

Upvote communities (such as Reddit, Quora, or https://inbound.org) are websites where users submit content and vote on the submissions that they like the most. This way, when you enter the site, the most valued information is at the top of the feed. It is a popular way of doing things, and a golden opportunity to promote your blog when you have something worth sharing.

But before you just spam upvote communities with your blog posts, you should find the right communities for you and participate as a commenter and have conversations with other users. If you don’t think there is a subreddit for your niche, you’re probably wrong.

And if there isn’t, you can always apply to create your subreddit. SEMrush has its subreddit that we moderate to field our customers’ top questions to learn what we should be writing about.

Other than Reddit, there are communities such as ProductHunt (for promoting a new product), private Slack groups (such as Online Geniuses and Traffic Think Tank) and of course, Quora! :)

7. Write Answers on Quora:

Quora is technically an upvote community but it is unique for its popularity and strict question-answer format. If you have a tool like SEMrush, you can look for new ways to promote your blog by entering https://Quora.com in Organic Research and checking out all of the keywords that Quora ranks for.
