We have loads of new BMB members, and they are all asking for tips for promoting their blogs. There are no secrets! Just ask. Below are some tricks you can try.
1. Put your self on Wikio's top parent blogging index. A blog's position on the ranking is based on an evaluation of incoming links and other measures. Head on over, and make sure you enter your blog to be evaluated for next month.
2. Create a Twitter account. Twitter's micro blogging platform has become very popular - watch out it can be addictive! Here are some tips on how to get the most out of Twitter.
3. Get yourself a Facebook Fan Page. It may sound self-indulgent, but do it! This social networking site alllows you to "friend" like-minded people. You can add links to your articles, and "like" them.
5. Get Digging! Digg is another community of readers you must to tap in to. People "discover" your site and share it if they like it. When that happens, you can share and discuss the topic.
6. Reddit is a site that allows people to discover what is new and popular on the web. You can submit content, and then members "vote" on it.
7. Kirtsy is Guy Kawasaki's social media site to share posts. It's similar to StumbleUpon and Reddit, but much more-parent blogger friendly. Try it!
8. Join BMB! We host new member blog hops and a bi-monthly blogging carnival. You can also list your blog posts on the front page.
