    Im starting up a blog, and want to get more hits. I can write the articles myself, but have limted time to do so. The genre of my blog is designing, logo designs.

    What is the best way to invest about $80 into it?

    Articles?

    Please, suggest me! :D

    Thanks

    i think you should go for article marketing, have different articles written for you and have them submitted to alot of article directories. best place to look is the buy, sell and trade section.

    here is a article of my blog wich explains article syndication in detail.

    Could you post a link to your blog so we can check it out. It would be almost impossible to make a statement on where the money should be invested without seeing what you already have...

    I would also go for content and SEO.

    But if your blog is about designing, you might want to show examples (images/video) of designs.

    Now that I have seen your blog, I concur with the others. You need more material. (Whether it be written content or video tutorials, etc)

    Im not... dead sure...

    but the most effective way to spend is probably to get other established blogs to write about yours. It would probaly not cost you $80 and you might just be ableto buy yourself an expensive lunch for $80... but you can never be sure..

    So you should approach other established blogs to review yours and write about it ... let us know if it helps...

    Article marketing is good but it will be better if you use the money on SEO. Then, youself can spend some time on article marketing and promotion.

    The biggest investment you can make in blogging is your time.

    No No No, investing in blogs is useless. You want to promote your blog by getting some good backlinks and adding your blogs in social bookmarking websites. By this way lots of visitors will hit your blog. If u work in social bookmarking websites, you too get some good friends, where you can exchange link with them,.
