One of the most pressing questions I get from new bloggers is, “I wrote a bunch of posts… now, how do I promote my blog?”
They enthusiastically wrote a bunch of posts, yet no one is reading them. It’s quite frustrating to find the stats frozen in the single digits – with the majority of views coming from a family member and a few friends.
In addition to that, there’s just so much to know when it comes to Facebook, Twitter, and the myriad of voting sites and other social networks. I often get overwhelmed just trying to answer the question – I can imagine how the new blogger must feel trying to digest it all.
Luckily, promoting your blog doesn’t have to be such an enigma – thanks to Kristi Hines, an amazing blogger over at Kikolani.com. She is definitely a woman who knows her stuff. I often look to her blog for guidance when I’m trying to break out of a plateau. On top of that, she’s just an all around great person who’s always willing to help.
So, I wanted to let you know (if you hadn’t heard) about her new ebook, The Ultimate Blog Post Promotion Guide.
I seriously had to snatch this one up for myself because there’s always room to learn something new – especially when you’re serious about growing and leveraging your blog.
In this 71-page book, Kristi even shows you which promotional methods are most appropriate for the type of results you want to see and even how to measure those results.
So if you’ve been baffled and confused and not exactly sure how to go about promoting your blog – or even if you have an idea, but want to maximize your efforts or even learn a few new tricks, this book is definitely worth a try.
What has been your experience with promoting your blog? Are you seeing the kinds of results you’d hoped for? What has worked best for you?

I’ve followed Kristi now for about two years in and out from blogengage and she’s got talent. You know I have no doubt in my mind that her e-book is full of social media goodies.
I’ve watched her win two 500USd contests at blog engage and walk away with both top prizes. She is a social media queen and when she wants something she gets it.
I’m so happy to see her success online and I look forward to what the fut5ure brings in our online relationships.

I agree, Kristi’s credibility when it comes to the blogging business has been proven by her own results (Kikolani, certainly is a successful blog), and getting her advice as based from her personal experiences can tremendously impact her followers’ understanding of the trade.
Just waiting for my next paycheck, will certainly grab a copy of this book :)

This sounds like something I certainly need to read – it is frustrating trying to figure out the best way to “grow a blog”.
I started my blog with the honest motive of hoping to offer helpful insights I’ve gleaned from traumatic changes in my life – I just didn’t realize how difficult it is to “be found”.
I’m always looking for guidance and suggestions and am excited about finding this one. Thanks Keisha!

Hi Peppy! I hope the guide helps you connect with the right people so you can start gaining visibility. My suggestion would be to look at the personal development bloggers – they would probably be the best fit and are a very supportive community!

Hi Kiesha
I’ve seen a few people promoting this book. Kristi seems to have built a good reputation and I have visited her blog on several occasions.
Commenting and interacting with other bloggers on Twitter has seen my small niche blog get known out in the blogosphere.
Networking has probably been the most effective, although on saying that, my stats show that Google sends a lot of traffic my way.
So I hope that means that my content has brought visitors to my site who keep returning. With my traffic going up steadily, also means new people are finding me too.

Thanks Patricia! That’s one thing I stress throughout the eBook – if you don’t build relationships and network with people interested in your niche, then you won’t get very far when it comes to promotions. Glad to hear you have seen increasing traffic for your site! :)
