Today I wrote a post on my about my marketing techniques that I have been using with my blog for the past 6 months. I launched Balkhis on Feb 1, 2008 and its 6 months old now. I think this website has grown tremendously. I have 538 subscribed readers via feedburner and numerous that are not subscribed. Balkhis has made me $1923.58 in the month of July from my older posts which contains Affiliate links and adsense. Affiliates were a big part of that income. Direct sales were low but affiliates dominated. I wrote an ebook and got over 1000 downloads within 1.5 days. Now do you wonder how did I do it? Promoting your Blogs through Social Media Stumbleupon Digg Entrecard MyBlogLog Twitter Plurk Promoting your Blog on Forums Promoting your Blog on Blog Directories Promoting your Blog through Giveaways Promoting your blogh through Paid Advertising Campaigns Promoting your Blog Locally Promoting your Blog through Indirect Marketing Promoting your Blog by commenting on others blog This is just an outline. I have reviewed each of these methods and which one worked me for me. Which one I am still doing and which were the ones that I left behind. The post itself is over 2500 words, so I am not going to post it here. You can definately read it here. If you like the post feel free to digg it, or add it to any other social bookmarks.

Thanks for that post because I never knew about things like EntreCard which I will now use Btw, I suscribed to your feed
Great article, and a very inspiring blog you got there. I'm amazed that you went from not knowing any English at all to becoming totally fluent in such a short timespan.
I am glad that you all liked the post. At first I was a bit hesitant on sharing because mods might remove the post and give me infarction because some people think it is self-advertisement. Thanks for the support fellas.
I don't think mods will punish someone who gives out useful info Thanks for sharing...I've actually been using Stumbleupon, MyBlogLog and Entrecard. I'll give Plurk a try. Do you recommend BlogCatalog as well? I've been spotting a lot of sites that use both. Not sure if that's a good way to go, though.
No you will be fine you are an established member with a high post count and rep. Now when i post just like you have and link back to the original articles im classed as a link spammer because i have a low post count and low rep.
Yes I do have an account at blogcatalog. I have used alot of other social medias but the ones that I showed were the popular ones which I used alot. While I have a blog catalog account, I am not active there. You can always use it and update me on your experience.
After reading your article, I am impressed and you have got a regular reader in me now. By the way, I left a comment on your blog.
Very interesting I am new to the whole blog thing this helps me so much Rep Added \ thanks for the post Keep it up
