So you just published a blog post.
Well creating content is half the battle.
If you want to get people to read your blog posts you need to get really good at promoting them.
I understand.
You could be trying to get your blog post to rank on the 1st page of Google for a particular keyword so you can drive traffic to your business.
But there are other things you could be doing right now to promote your blog post and get traffic to it.
Anyways.
Here are 4 ways to promote your newly published blog post
1 – Email your list
The first thing I do after I publish a blog post is let the people on my email list know that I just published a new blog post.
This is a great way to get instant traffic to your blog post!
Here is an example email so you get the idea:
Email Subject Line:
[New Blog]5 Tips To Help You Lose 40 Pounds In Under 30 Days!
Email Body:
Are you having problems with losing weight?
Does thinking about eating right and excercising drive you up the wall?
It’s really annoying, right?
You’ve been working hard to lose weight for months, then you start struggling to make progress, and now you’re stuck.
Believe me, you’re not alone. In fact, these are very common problems that many of my subscribers have been facing.
But don’t worry, I’m here to help.
I just published a new blog post to help people just like you.
You can read it by clicking the link below.

P.S. If you found the post useful don’t hesitate to share it with your social media followings on Facebook,Twitter & Instagram (hey,it’s free)
At the end of your email ask your email subscribers to share your newly published blog post to their social media networks.
You can also encourage them to leave a comment on your blog.
2 – Share it on Social Media
Sharing your blog post on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter is a great way to drive referral traffic.
When I share my blog post on Twitter I like to include 1 hashtag.
The hashtag should be related to the topic of the blog post or the exact keyword you are targeting.
Organic reach isn’t what it used to be on Facebook but it’s a good idea to share your blog post to your Facebook business page as well.
3 – Share it on Quora
Quora is a great platform to engage with the people who are interested in the topics you discuss on your blog.
If you contribute and provide value on a consistent basis then there shouldn’t be an issue with copying and pasting your blog URL into the Quora answer section.
Just make sure you do this blog promotion tactic sparingly and always read the rules and policies before posting.
4 – Boost it on Facebook
Instead of sharing your blog post on your Facebook business page and trying to promote it organically you are going to spend a little money (you can start out small with a $5 per day ad budget!)
What you’re going to do is promote the blog post you just published using the Facebook boost post feature!
Go into your Facebook Ads Manager,set up a budget,choose your audience,and click “Boost Post.”
This is a great blog promotion tactic plus you can target people by gender, age, location, interests, behaviors & more.
Well there you go. 4 great ways to promote your blog posts and get traffic!
