How to market your blog?

Every blogger wants to have the maximum traffic to its link but how many of them actually make any effort to do so. Many of them try social media or SEO but you would be quite surprised to know that nothing works better than guest blogging.

If you really wish to attract traffic and become a successful blogger then you should keep guest posting very often. It is the most effective way of getting traffic. You should start guest posting from today onwards, make a target of posting 7 articles in a week or 30 articles in a month. Below are the few tips which will guide you.

• It is always better to schedule your time for guest blogging. Make sure you take out some extra time in order to devote it to guest blogging. You will need at least an hour to research, write, proof read and submit your guest post. Make sure you take out the extra time. Do not make silly excuses like you are full for the day, in that case wake up an hour early and utilize that extra hour to write your guest blog.
• Being a human you will think of submitting your posts to large blogs like problogger or copy blogger. But as they are too renowned they get too many submissions per day and it could be a little hard for you to get your post approved. Just imagine how disheartened you will be when you realize that you have submitted 30 posts and the big blog denied each of them. So, try and write guest blogs for small blogs as well. The foremost benefit you get of submitting your posts to small blogs is that they get less submission and thus chances of your post getting approved are high. And the second benefit you get is that big blogs will see you being published on small blogs, you will directly come into their notice and thus the chances of getting your post published on bigger blogs are also increased.
• For each blogger you should personalize your post, this increases your chances of being published on their blog. One more advice, never make use of boiler plate template while emailing your post.
• Be a little bit selective. Do not just run into every blog which come across. Rather you should submit your posts to the blogs which you read on a regular basis. You have an idea about the blog and the readers of it. You have a clear picture of what the blogger publishes and what readers like to read. In case you like a certain blog and wish to submit your post to it then spend some time in reading its articles and on commenting as well. You can even email or tweet the blogger.
• Also, never repeat the topic as it only irritates the readers. They do not wish to read the same old story rather write something new and happening.
