Are You Marketing Your Blog?

Are you marketing your blog or are you just writing it?  Yes, Word Press, Blogger, TypePad and Active Rain allow for a certain amount of “Google juice”.  But, are you simply posting your blog on one of these platforms hoping that someone reads it…sometime?  Or are you actively marketing your blog to those readers surfing the internet, hungry for the knowledge you know that only you can impart?  If you aren’t actively marketing your blog, you may be missing one of the greatest opportunities to get your voice heard.

There are several great blog directories that you absolutely MUST add your blog to, such as Technorati and Blogarama (just to name a couple).  Automated submission tools like Pingomatic can get your blog pinged and sent to a couple dozen different services on the web.  And, by adding your RSS feeds to several feed managers, such as Feedburner, you can get your posts listed in record-breaking time.  Don’t forget to add these RSS feeds to all your social networks as well to keep track of any post you list in real-time.

If you don’t know how or where to add your blogs and RSS feeds, feel free to contact Second Self Virtual Assistance.  Second Self is always ready to lend a helping hand to get your voice hear.  You are marketing your services.  But, are you marketing your blog?
