As a blogger, you might think that the success of their blog depends on HOW OFTEN you post or add content to your blog. When I first launched this blog I was posting a new blog post almost every day! I thought that the more content I had, the more readers I would attract to my blog.
But over the last few months, I've been experimenting with something new – publish one new blog post per week, but spend a lot more time promoting it! And guess what? It worked! My blog readership went from just a few thousand readers per month to over 20,000, all because I invested some time to promote my blog posts.
The most obvious ways to promote your blog posts is to share them via social media, but there are more ways to get the word.
Here are 30 ways to promote your blog posts

Awesome tips. I checked this out a week ago and incorporated a few already. My readership is starting to climb. Fantastic advice.
Thanks for the great list! I would also like to add Blog Carnival to it. You might not get a lot of traffic from there, but you will get some great links and exposure among bloggers in your niche 🙂
Thanks for the great infographic. I’ll repost it on June 18th.
Thank you SO MUCH Andreea!
I wasn’t really taking advantage of the bookmarking sites and have already seen a huge jump in traffic from reddit alone! I would absolutely LOVE a social media mention from you. Really appreciate your immediately helpful advice!
Andrea – this is a fabulous post – incredibly useful and laid out in such an easy-to-read, user-friendly way.
I was just about to email you to THANK YOU for the banner I currently have on your site…suddenly I noticed a surge in website traffic. When I did some investigating, I saw it was coming from you!
Thanks again!
Hi Andreea
Great post putting it all together in one spot that I can refer to again and again. So happy I stumbled on your blog. It’s loaded with great information. I shared the infographic with my readers today.
Thanks so much for sharing, Allison!
Hi Andrea-
Thank you for this post. I’m an emerging artist and just started a blog to document my journey and promote my artwork. At this moment, I only have one post so far, but I’m looking forward to using these tips as I go along!
Hey Andrea!
Great tips, thanks so much for sharing… Just a piece of feedback: it’s a bit hard to read with such small type! Any way to get the infographic larger so it is easier to read?? I’ll be sharing for sure!
Thanks!
Jen
Jen, I think that if you click on it it will get larger…
Very impressive and informative infographic Andreea 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Thank you. I might just have to use this in a future blog post!
Thanks for the opportunity Andreea, I have shared it.
Thanks for the tips! I’m getting back into blogging after having a baby & I’m hoping this will help!
thanks for the advice
Thanks for the great tips! I already pin my posts on Pinterest but I put them on the appropriate board (food, crafts, etc) but I’m curious what the advantage of having your own blog post board as you say and putting every thing on there instead of the category boards? Thanks! Jill@ MamaGing.com
I will have to try this sometime! Looks like good advice!
Nice tips, I am still trying to get a handle on this whole thing and it can be overwhelming. Thanks!
Great post, thanks so much for sharing the wisdom.
I plan to use this infographic. Definitely will help put a plan and structure into marketing my blogs.
great article.
also a nice infographic is easier to read.
Great tips- I will definitely be using some of them! 🙂
Excellent! This is the simplest, most user-friendly explanation of blog post promotion tools that I’ve ever found. Bravo!
By far the most helpful post I’ve read about getting readers. Thank you!
Hello Andreea
A good article, and thanks for sharing the infographics. I have used it in this post (and with a link back to here):
Fantastic infographic! Thanks for allowing us to share it and your domain name at the bottom is what returned me to your site!
Thanks, Greg, for sharing it! Glad you found it useful!!!!
I was wondering if it was completely safe to submit the blog to Amazon publishing. Can you please throw some light?

If there are any Mommy/Mummy bloggers who do crafts with their kids, they could do an article for MyKidCraft . You can leave a link to your blog to help encourage traffic through to your site. We have around 26,000 readers a month and over 3,000 subscribers.
This infographic was really helpful! I posted it to my blog and social media sites. Thanks for sharing!
thanks for this great information. I have re-blogged.
Thank you so much for the information. I will be applying these tactics to my own blog.
Thank you for all of this advice! I love that it’s all very clear and easy to understand!
Great infographic and really useful tips. I’ve just set up a board on Pinterest for all my posts – why didn’t I think of this before! As you suggested I’ve also published it on my website
thanks
Great tips, thank you. I have a quilting interest board, but as a quilting blogger never thought of having a quilting blog posts board. Great suggestion. Plus, since I follow other quilters’ blogsI can pin those and it won’t be only my content. Cross-promotion and networking is a wonderful thing!
Glad you found these helpful!!!!
The print is too small and I can not read it. Is there a way to make it larger?
Marsha, sorry about that! Have you tried clicking on it? That will make it larger for you to see!
Hi, thankyou for sharing this! I am currently trying to advertise and promote my blog with no avail.
Love this! really great ideas for promoting my new blog
Great tips.
Great post and infographic, Andreea! I have the same problem an earlier commenter has. I’d like to make a desktop background out of this but the print is too small. Is there any chance you have the original PSD file and that it is much bigger? I’d really LOVE to have this!
Thank you,
Jeff
Thank you for all these tips! I didn’t realize marketing my site would make such a difference, but I understand the concept now! The infographic is great too. I’m more of a visual learner.
Great tips and info. Thanks so much I will be using some of these to promote my entertainment site.
Great post Andrea – thank you!
Great advice! It looks like you have to pay for some of the bookmarking sites. I will start with the free ones first. Thanks!
Thank you. Blogging is such a massive undertaking.
Thank you for the infographic, it is incredibly helpful.
thanks so much for this advice! some of the best that i’ve read. going to give the tips a go for my new blog yay! xx
