The best way to promote your blog is to have a commensurable audience. Many people will visit and read your blogs but you have to make them stay. One way to make it happen is an email list. When someone visits your blog, you ask them to drop their email if they want to stay updated. Then, you make a list and send them reminders whenever you upload a new blog.

This will help you secure more readers. You can add links to your social media accounts, so people can directly access your blog.

Answer queries on Quora and Reddit

You have to carefully search for questions relevant to your blogs and answer them. You cannot answer them directly with your blog link so it’s better to write a complete answer and refer them to your blog for more information. 

Reach out to your local influencers

You need to target people who already have many followers. You can reach out to your local influencers or famous ones if you can afford them. Local influencers usually have a decent number of followers and they can promote your blog for a small price. They will post about your blog and its benefits so people will visit it. People usually follow these influencers so they do visit and follow.

Start a podcast

A podcast is an amazing way to promote your content. People love listening to podcasts and they don’t need to take out extra time for that. They do it while doing other activities like home chores and driving. You can talk about your blogs and share information.
