I find Reddit, G+, Facebook the most practical and easy way to promote my blog. But 2 last require month of hard work to earn back from them.
I Share my post on Linkedin,Google Plus, Twitter, Facebook(With uploaded image), If you have a facebook fan page post there first with image and share to timeline, 5-10 forum comment posts in High Traffic Threads with link to blog in the signature, Mail My List, I also Share in facebook groups I post in 5-10 Groups to stay compliant.
I use social media manly when i first started out now i use sites similar to mine or forums with interest in the same niche as me.
Make contents for audience where they can engaged and have their thoughts Purely text is boring. Add some images, videos or infographic. Know what are the latest on-trend topics on your niche and blog about it. Promote your them across all your social media profiles. Hope these may help you make a buzz in your social networking sites. All the best Lore
Actually it depends on some matter, for promoting the blog i normally prefere search engine and for doing so i need to build some links.
regular use fresh content and share your blog many social networking site.and use forum posting website digital-point and many other website.
In my experience google adwords is the best .. I have a website where I invested $ 800 in adwords and now has top keywords without any other kind of SEO .. contact me if u need help
