Since we are talking about blog marketing I am going to assume that you already have a blog. The next step is to ensure that your blog is updated frequently. Post content to your blog regularly for the best results. Some will post once a day and others once a week. Whichever you choose just be consistent with it. Consistency will pay off in the long run.

Remember that “content is king” when it comes to blog marketing or promotion.

Marketing your blog is not all that hard to do. You have to be persistent and want success however if you want your blog to do well. You cannot just make a post and forget about it.

Below are just a few of the many ways you can market your blog. Do you have a few favorite blogs that you like to read? How did you find out about them? Watch what other bloggers are doing and copy their methods.

1. Interviewing people for your blog is an excellent way to market it. Choose someone who already has a following and have them promote to their followers. Just be sure that the people that you interview pertain to the market of your blog. You want all of your posts to be relevant, including any interviews that you might do.

For example, if your blog market was vacuum cleaners, and you did an interview with the owner of Hoover vacuum cleaner; that would definitely pertain to your market.

2. Current events in your market make great posts. Everyone loves news, and even the readers of your blog will appreciate you blogging about the current events in your market. One thing you must keep in mind when blogging about the news is that the more current the news, the better it is. No one wants to reread old news, so it is a great idea to try and stay as current as possible.

3. Contests are another way that you effectively market your blog. Having contests on various things would be a lot of fun, and something that will keep your readers coming back. Everyone loves to win things, and you can also make the prize that you are giving away relevant to the market you are promoting on your blog.

4. Add your blog address to your email signature line. How many times a day do you send out an email? How many times are your emails forwarded to others? This is probably one of the easiest ways to market your blog.

5. Commenting on other blogs is a great way to market your blog. Be sure to choose blogs that are related to your industry and when you sign the blog use your blog url. Also make your comment as useful as possible.

Marketing a blog comes naturally for some and can be a little harder to focus on for others. However, once you find a few methods that work for you just stick to them. Remember you don’t have to do everything and you don’t have to be perfect. Also remember that by doing any of these you are ahead of so many of your competitors.
