Part 6 : Advertising & Marketing Your Blog
Getting your blog known in the vast ‘web-o-sphere’ is the next big task for the budding blogger.
As with all other tasks so far, it requires time and some effort to connect with others and a little bit of research into how one can market/advertise.
7 Tips for Marketing and Advertising Your Blog
- Connect your blog to Facebook and Twitter so that every time you publish something, the post is also posted on those social media outlets. Go to the Settings/Sharing section of your blog. {see this image}
- Network with other teachers in the same field, get them to mail your blog link to their colleagues or related subject teachers/advisors
- Tweet regularly, include a link to your blog and perhaps use a hashtag that can generate discussion
- Sign up with Google Adsense and place Google ads on your pages (not available on hosted WordPress.com sites) — This is covered in Part 7 of this course.
- Create a Facebook page/Google+ page/YouTube channel where you advertise your blog and postings regularly
- Link to as many relevant and useful sites as possible and try get as many of them to link back to you too
- Start up a mailing list with Mailchimp and start sending regular updates (not too often though) where you inform people of your latest posts and entice them to come back and read
