    Hey guys!

    I've got a new blog. I'm writing about my journey making money with free hosting websites. I'm going to be posting on this as close to every day as I can.

    Just wondering if anyone has any tips for how I can get readers? Apart from the obvious write good content.

    Don't show your RSS feed unless its over 150 because people will either think your blog is new or no one wants to read your articles. Good luck!

    Write good content. :D

    And then use a submitter, (lots of them scattered around) to submit it to different places, those sort of yellowpages of the web. I've forgotten the names at the moment.

    Do a search for 'site submitter' and 'free site submitter' and see what you come up with.

    Use stumbleupon.

    Use entrecard.

    Try to write linkbait, and submit to social media sites, this is seriously all I would do starting out a new site. I've gotten dugg on old sites that no longer exist anymore but I would get dozens of backlinks and then traffic from both referrals and search engines increased by a lot after that.

    Submit your each blogpost to hundreds of social bookmarking sites. And you will get instant traffic.

    DP is a pretty nice place to get some traffic.

    I suggest you write about popular topics that are often searched and optimize your posts. Search engine traffic is often the most consistent and everyone wants to make money online. Do the math.

    DP is just an okay place to get traffic in my opinion.

    Now that I've started a blog, I'm getting new ideas for things to write about every 10 minutes. Need to write them down :)
