Hi,

I have created a new blog site Awesome Tech Blog For Americans | Usatechblog.com targeting the American audience. May i know if there are any proven methods to promote a brand new blog site without spending much money for traditional adwords advertising?

    Create social media accounts and keep them active. Follow other accounts in your niche or market and respond to their posts with your account. Grow your own followers. It takes time and hard work, but it's possible. I do it with my niche sites too.

    Hangout where your audience hangs out.

    Any forums, LinkedIn groups, networks, etc where you can "hangout" where your audience is?

      Definately be where your audience is. Don't over think it
      as you will find traffic resources without over spending.

      Consider joining Networked Blogs via Facebook.
      Link back to the particular blog from a relevant social media page.
      Include your blog within your email signature.
      Also, use retweet exchange websites. This is very good for viral traffic.

      Add blogs to social bookmarking sites and comment on other blogs you follow (in your niche).

      There are many ways...just keep it simple and mentally place yourself where your audience is. Know what they are looking for and where they hang out. It will take time but the organic traffic is what you want.

      Thanks, TrafficFlow, that was an EXCELLENT suggestion. I'm publishing my blog a week from this Sunday, so I'm gathering how-to's to put in place before I hit the publish button. The search results for your suggestion are just what I need.

    Get popular on social media. Make sure you're sharing valuable content and adding relevant friends in your niche. It's going to take some time, but it works. Focus on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIN. Possibly Instagram depending on your audience.

    Find blogs in your niche that already have an audience and write for them. You can also post on forums, and other forms of social media to grow your blog. You may also want to write articles that target the keywords in your niche with a fair amount of search volume and low competition. Keep all content unique and relevant and you will grow.

    Awesome!!

    Good job on the new blog! .. is looking good and a lot of very interesting content!

    When it comes to generating traffic - there are many ways to get it. The real question is; how bad do you want to get this traffic? ... and do you have what it takes?

    It takes a lot of consistent hard work to build up a good traffic flow to your blog. The methods to do it are already there, but the challenge is in your will power to take massive consistent action.

    I suggest you to learn multiple internet marketing strategies like article marketing, video marketing, content marketing, attraction marketing, social media marketing, search engine optimization, audio marketing, blog commenting, guest posting, network marketing, etc.

    You should invest in your internet marketing education. There are many good trainings you can buy and learn from. You should pass by the WSO marketplace to see what products can teach the internet marketing strategies you want to implement.

    You should also do some research on this forum - there are many threads with valuable information.

    free traffic | Warrior Forum

    As I already mentioned, the challenge is not in learning traffic generation methods, because you can learn them with no problem. The real challenge in the work you have to put in!

    It will take a lot of time and effort to build up a good daily traffic flow. Do not come into this arena expecting results over night and fast traffic. Because if you do, you are going to set yourself up for frustration.

    You need to have a strong discipline and will power to do the necessary work on a daily basis and until you get the results you are looking for! ... until then, you should not complain and look for a shortcut!

    Unless you have thousands to play with paid traffic. You have to put in the consistent work with the free methods!

    I hope this helps!

    Keep up the great work!

    How do you plan on making money from your blog? Sure promoting it and using social media to get alot of traffic is fine, but if it doesn't make you any money.... what good is it? I see you have an "advertise" link on your toolbar at the top of your page, but WHO are you targeting?
