As a Blogger i get A LOT of business related questions from people all over the
world. Overall, I would say the most commonly asked question would have
to be “what’s the best way to build a business online”. ..
However, if I someone held a gun to my face and yelled “what’s the best way to build a business online”, I would have to shout “start a blog”.
Yes – I would say blogging is by far the best online marketing tool/platform that just about anyone can use to grow their business from scratch. Why? Simply because you can do anything with a blog, a blog offers so much diversity. You have more options with blogging than any other online marketing strategy
So here are 4 dead simple strategies anyone can use to make their blog popular!
1.Blog Commenting
Marketers have been using blog commenting for years to grow their blogs and boost their sites’ search engine rankings. Right now, blog commenting isn’t as effective as it used to be – SEO wise. However it’s great for attracting new readers, growing your market presence and gaining one way backlinks. Whenever you scroll to the bottom of a blog post, you should see a little comment box where you can input your name, email, website and comment…
To grow your blog you should be actively commenting on around 10 of the biggest blogs in your niche. By actively I mean commenting on every new blog post they publish. So there are really 4 reasons to start blog commenting:
Other blog’s readers will read their posts, scroll down to the comments and if they read a nice insightful comment by you – they may well click through to your blog!
2.Guest Blogging
Guest blogging is huge if you’re in the Internet Marketing/financial niche. It’s basically where you write full blog posts for other blogs in your niche. I know, I know, it sounds a little crazy to guest post on other people’s blogs… At least that’s what I first thought when I heard the idea. Writing high quality posts for someone else’s blog, hmmm… What’s the benefit?
So all of those blog subscribes (100,000+ in this case) would head over to your blog, thousands would read it and hundreds if not thousands would click through to your blog. Many of which would become loyal subscribers and customers of yours....
3.Facebook
As you all know that FACEBOOK is the mother of contacts and social networking site and a best traffic generator for blogs and used as a blog promotion site also...!
I personally think focusing on too many is a waste of time. So to make your blog popular through social media, start with Facebook!
There are many ways you can market your blog on Facebook. You can start by sharing your latest posts with your Facebook friends. Then you can setup a fan page dedicated to your blog. It’s very simple to do if you do a little research. Primarily you should be using a Facebook fan page to build your email list and then your blog.
A fan page is like its own thing, it’s like another blog; something else you have to market. Once your fan page is up, you can use a tool like Ping.fm/Hootsuite or the Facebook app NetworkedBlogs to automatically syndicate your new posts onto your fan page. From there you can invite people to like your page, setup a nice like and reveal page (Google it) or even use Facebook PPC to rapidly grow your fan base.
So many options, on top of your fan page you should be constantly networking with other like minded people, adding new friends and getting the word about your blog out there.
4.Twitter
Twitter is the second giant of social media. I personally don’t like Twitter. I’ve never really fully understood Twitter, but still it effortlessly sends me thousands of visitors every month. I actually outsource my Twitter marketing to a friend of mine who’s an expert, so I’m not the right guy to ask about it. However – I do know a little about Twitter and how you can use it to exponentially grow your blog. I guess it can be broken down into these steps:
That’s it! How to make your blog popular in just four simple steps....!
