Advertising Your Blog on Other Websites for Free

 HowYou Can Take Advantage of a No-Cost Strategy



There are several ways you can advertise your blog on

other websites without paying a single cent. The trick

is to find these channels and determine which ones

will work for you. Here are just a few techniques you

can use:



Advertise on other blogs. You could build a reciprocal

relationship with other bloggers, particularly those

whose content are related (but not necessarily

similar) to yours. If your blog is about gadget and

industry news, for example, you could advertise it for

free on another blog that offers gadget reviews.



By becoming partners with a non-competitor, you take

advantage of his market for the right type of exposure

without alienating anyone. It's fair, it works and

it's for free.



Use social media. Social media revolutionized many

aspects of the Internet, particularly because it

presents a new way of communicating and sharing

information. It broke many barriers, allowing people

from across the globe to build and join networks, both

for personal and business purposes.



Social media are sites that can be used to advertise

your blogs for free. Nearly all types of businesses

that exist on the Internet use social media for

promotional activities. The demographics here are

clearly defined, people can communicate in a more

personal manner and since social media is an accepted

platform for marketing, people who read your ads

regarding your blog are more likely to be receptive to

it. Best of all, advertising your blog on these

websites is free.



Use a network. To build buzz and gain momentum in the

blog universe, you need support from likeminded

individuals. Bloggers don't really advertise

themselves actively against other bloggers. Instead,

they compete with one another by ensuring they have

better content and easier to use sites.



Although simply maintaining a good blog will help

attract other blogs wishing to link up with you, you

might also want to actively pursue associations with

other popular blogs. Many of the best bloggers around

are generous enough to give you a bit of support and

will gladly mention your blog in one of their posts.

Best of all, a network helps you increase your reach

for the same amount of effort.



Use article databases. Article databases are

repositories of write-ups that bloggers and site

owners use. If you choose this route, know that this

is a rather indirect way of promoting your blog. It is

quite effective nonetheless, particularly if you want

to build buzz regarding your ability to provide useful

information.



Try to search out a specific topic online and chances

are, you will find an article written by blogger in an

article database. Read this article. At the end, you

will notice that the blogger had included his/her

name, a short description of himself, what he does,

the name of his company and a link back to his site.



Sometimes, a blogger might even include a few links to

some of his write-ups within the text of the article.

This is to entice the reader to click on the link and

find related information on the writer's blog. Using

links in this manner allows you to advertise your blog

for free on a separate website.



There's no cost involved here, particularly if you

wrote the article and performed the submission

yourself. If you prefer to spend a little bit, you

could also use copywriting and submission services for

a reasonable cost. While this isn’t free advertising

for your blog, you still get to expand your presence

using another website.
