    Hi

    some great post ideas above , here a few of mine , some might have already been mentioned...

    firstly if you want people to engage with your ask them to share and lek your post on social site like facebook, twitter etc

    also its a great idea you are selling your book but why not offer say the first chapter or 2 for free in return for the email address and as a upsell sell them your ebook once you have captured there email address...

    you can do some article writing if you wish and link back to your blog.... convert some of your blogs into powerpoint presentations or youtube videos



    engage with more videos, photos etc on your posts, build a brand on your blog so maybe a logo to represent your blog or a cartoon character etc .... so people will easily be able to recognize you

    promote your site , in your niche just go to google and type in your niche + forum

    then join forums and be as helpful as you can and in your signature add your blog link...... try get more back links to your blog. try and do some jv in your industry .

    hope these help you all the best with your blog

    Yes, It is 100% true.

    I have been getting her e-mails for a couple years now. She always delivers over the top good content.

    That is why I wanted to ask you. Do you have the link to register to her membership site.

    I read in one of her e-mails that she sent me a couple years ago, she teaches her students the techniques required to drive more traffic to any site and grow your business to the next level.

    Do you have the link? if you don't

    Can you ask your friends?

    They might be able to tell you.

    May I ask for a clarification (total newbie here): what signature are you referring to? When I comment on something or are you referring to as an email address or what?

    A signature is something that is directly below my comment now. :)
    Signatures allow people who feel that you are trustworthy to click the link you provided to visit your website.

    For blog promotion, content is very important part if you create content regularly and do proper on-page optimization, your ranking would be good, a little keyword research is also needed and always go with low competitive keywords. Commenting on other related blogs would help you a lot.

    The is a saying in the media industry that Content is King. So you need to have high quality, relevant content that is regularly updated - the more regular that greater the number of visits as visitors will check the site more often.

    A personal blog is particularly hard to gain a following for, but once it starts gaining momentum it becomes easier. Try to write posts that provide new information, concepts or ideas to your niche target market, and post links to the posts on social networks. Make sure that you have a function to display relevant posts at the bottom or in the sidebar of the blog, so that visitors will not leave the blog after reading just the post that they first visited.

    Do as I do....just post and move on.
    And use twitter!
    I tweet out each and every post I make.

    Plus on forums (not here), I update my signature every day with the title of my blog post.
    Maybe I should do the same here?
    Yes, starting now.

    I think you must promote it through blogs and article submission to free sites. Do social media activities and post on high quality forums for instant traffic.

    Hi Helge Sverre, it looks interesting your idea!

    Firstable I would advice you target your potential audience: the young people interested in IT (as far as I understand). So, that´s a good point because you know who you interest.

    Then, try to know where your audience goes on the Internet, on this kind of Forum for example, on some specific blogs, websites, facebook page that display IT content and has quite young audience. Be member of these media and then be active, contact people, help people..
    The Social Media part is important..

    You can pay affiliate to bring you traffic too. Affiliate Marketing rulessssss :cool:

    You can work then your SEO by providing content that really helps your audience targeted, working on the keywords they can type on the Search Engine (it means that your content must match with the specific keyword).

    It asks a lot of effort but it worth it.

    Good luck!!

    Hi, to have loyal reader base, all you need is to give your readers a reason to come back to you, and keep coming back to you! After thinking 3 hours and 7 minutes (to be specific), you will realize that readers would only visit your blog, to see what you are writing for them, what experiences you are sharing with them, what help you have in hand, to attract them. Easier said than done, of course! :p

    As people said. Look for fórums related to your blog. Go to Internet and type " IT Consultant Intership blogs or forums" something like that and look and then participate. Also you can aske to the owners of those blogs to let you write a guest article and add a link to your site.

    Build a facebook page about your blog and suggest your friends to like. Post all your blogs daily and ask people to comment and share, ensure that you post interesting topics to get people involved also using pictures with a straight forward message will get people following your blogs. Commenting on other people blogs also will work and always tag specific key words in all your post this will help your blog in search engines.
