    #1, and the only tip that matters: Why are you blogging? If you find that reason and tie it to something fun and freeing, you are good to go on practical tips.

    Here are my faves:

    1: Effective guest posting
    2: Effective blog commenting

    Depends on the type of blog you're running. Find out where your target market likes to hang out - whether it be Social Media (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest), or community forums! Find ways to speak to your audience and they'll have no problem sharing your blog posts. Assuming you have great content, of course.

      As opposed to viral posts that nobody would share?
      You don't want to go overboard on creating viral posts by the way. I like to make only 3 viral posts out of every 10 posts i make. Any more than 3 and you are in danger of breaking the Internet viral sensors and you will get a slap from Google.

    Outreach to other bloggers offering some sort of digital incentive is the best way to get SUSTAINABLE FREE TARGETED traffic.

    You can do it yourself or you can hire a VA to do it.

    Costs less than $100 to set yourself up for several months.

    There are plenty of ways to promote a blog. Create quality content for your blog. Share your posts on Social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, Google+ etc. Do some guest posting on high authority blogs that are relevant to your niche. Do blog commenting as it will increase readership of your blog and drive huge traffic as well.

    The best way to promote a blog :
    1.Paid traffic (solo ads ,media, ppc.......)
    If you have budget ,you can get instant traffic with paid traffic and test everything.

    2.free traffic ( seo ,guest post,social media....)
    free traffic you will need more time to get visitor to blog.

    you should choose with 1 in 2 ways above and master with it....

    I would be sharing my blog on social media and forums. I also would not hesitate to set up a facebook like page and promote my blog their using fb ads.

    YouTube is also great platform to promote on and you do not even need to spend money on ads.

    Blog promotion will require you to have a specific strategy and the ability to stay consistent.

    1. The first method of promotion I recommend, is leaving helpful comments on other relevant blogs. Leave a comment that demonstrates your authority on the subject and people will be curious to check out your blog and see what else you have to say. This method works well when done consistently. Comment on 1-5 blogs every day to see the best results.

    2. Guest blog posting is another great way to promote your blog. In order to do this effectively I recommend you have at least 3-5 high quality posts on your blog, and then you can reach out to other bloggers in your niche with a good following. You can send a message to the blog owner and let the owner know that you'd like to write a guest post. Attach an outline of the post you plan on writing for the owners blog, so he can see that you're serious. At the end of your article, you can leave your info such as your name and a link to your blog.

    3. Another great way to promote your blog is by submitting your blog to blog directories such as: https://blogs.botw.org/

    That is a paid blog directory but there are also some free ones that will help boost your daily traffic to your site. There are some decent blog directories that most people aren't even aware of, so you can take advantage of this underrated traffic generation method.

    4. Facebook and Youtube are great social media platforms that you can use to generate targeted traffic to your site. I personally did very well with YouTube and I'm now experimenting with Facebook and like the results so far. The YouTube strategy consists of upload keyword targeted videos on your youtube channel. So, for example if you were in the weight loss niche, you could create videos about losing weight and target keywords that people are searching on google (use the google keyword tool). Then you can have a call-to-action to your blog on every video.

    The Facebook method consists of engaging in relevant facebook groups and then adding people as friends. Then on your personal Facebook profile you can drop links to the posts on your blog. Make sure everything is congruent. You need to engage in facebook groups where your targeted audience hangs out, and contribute to the group by answering people's questions and sharing helpful content in the group.


    Remember the key to being successful with promoting your blog is consistency.

        It wil depend...

        But:

        1) If you're promoting affiliate products you could post your affiliate product reviews 2 to 3 times per week.

        2) Ping your url to pingomatic

        Kind regards,
        Robin

          There is nothing like best way, there are many seo, social media etc. Suppose if someone says social media is best ....then certainly it is is but you are losing seo traffic...and so it the case.

          So the best thing is start with one and try to diversify by the time...

    Create a Facebook page for your blog and then join some Facebook "viral like ladders" and start liking other FB pages and they will like your FB page back. This has helped me get more traffic to some of my blogs.

    Also, create a Twitter account for your blog and follow other Twitter accounts in the same niche as your blog, and retweet some of their tweets from time to time, and many of them will return the favor.
