Hey, So guys even though i've recently started my new blog and kind of know what i'm doing I would still want to know what people do after launching their blog. So let's say you've started a new blog. What are the first things you do? 1.Do you start promoting straight away? How? commenting on related blogs, submitting to web directories, posting in forums, submitting to social bookmarking sites, releasing press releases? 2.Do you have any amount of post you post before starting to promote? Do you start promoting after 1e post,5th post, 10th post? 3.Do you monitize it from the beggining?When?How? Adsense, Adbrite, Clickbank, CJ, or other affiliate networks? What else do you do?
As people post, you will see there are several ways to go about it.. But here is what I did. First, joined a few forums and went to my other favorite forums and generated my sigs. I then started replying to topics only I am familiar with or if I could help solve a person problem. Next I register for DIGG, and Twitt, and started posting there, they helped the search engines find me. Commented on a few blogs, relating to my blog. Next I create a small ebook on of a topic of my blog and pass it out for free, to those who wanted to signup for me free news letter. Then I monitized. I tell this to everyone "Traffic Before Money" This was basically what I did, when I first published my blog.
First of all you should mention unique subject never written before. Then you should share this in forums and bottom of te page write source as your blog. It will spread like gossip.
Personally I consider, that first of all it is necessary to add a blog in the basic rating catalogues: 1. Technorati.com 2. Mybloglog.com 3. Blogcatalog.com
After starting a new blog first thing need to do is try to add unique and informative contents there and after sufficient contents start promoting it through various techniques such as blog directories submission,web directories submission,social bookmarking,promotion through comments at other related blogs etc. Once your blog getting goodenough traffic then think to add ads on it. DON.
When I launch a blog first I work with the permalink structure of the blog. Then go for Theme design at the same time I start Posting. I do onpage search engine optimizations as much as possible in theme. Then I start pinging regularly as I update my blog posts. I add it to technorati and other blog search engines. When I start getting more than 1000 visitors I go for monetization like putting ads or optimize them.
submit it to search engines, catalogs,blog directories and go to forums. i usually add the link of the new blog to blogrolls of the old blogs.
Here's a step by step of what I do but not very detailed. install wordpress, change settings, install plugins, install theme, monitize it, and set up my blog for social media marketing. From there, I post an article daily, promote, and comment on other blogs. Lots of blogs! That's the basics of what I do.
Keep on posting unique articles.. Be creative, Don't be afraid to make changes on the ads position if you have any. Advertise it and build backlinks.
When I was done making a blog (in my signature), I already promoting it offline by printing a sticker paper and stick it to the rear window of my car. Then I submit one of my articles on ezines and posting it into forums.
Well you need to build some content on your blog before you can start advertising, Say around 20 posts atleast. Then apply for adsense, kontera and infolinks. Create a facebook fanpage and twitter id as well. Link your blog to the facebook and twitter accounts, so that those pages update automatically. You will get hits from google if your content is popular. But its important to give regular readers if you want your blog to thrive. Register at feedburner as well. My point is, give your readers as many ways as you can to stay in touch. As posts increase, readers will do and soon money will start flowing in..njoy
