There are lots of avenues in which a blogger can promote their newly published blog post.
When a blogger has written a great article that was well researched then no doubt this blogger want to get as much readers for his/her article. So therefore, this blogger has to map out a plan on how this new blog post will be promoted.
Many people have different ways of doing things, so here are 5 great ways in which you can use to promote new blog posts.
Promote New Blog Posts On Social Media
This on I think is the best place that you can promote new blog posts. Social media sites are always filled with people from all over the world and they are looking for information in almost every niche. Your new blog post can be of some help for people who are searching for topics that you are writing about.
You will first need to create an account on whatever social media site you with to promote new blog posts.
Here are some social media sites that you can use to promote new blog posts:
Twitter - Millions of people use this social media daily to send out short status messages, communicate with friends or family, follow celebrities for updates, other persons of interest and to also promote new blog posts if you are a blogger that is. Twitter is a wonderful place to promote new blog posts because it is free and it can generate lots of targeted blog traffic.
Facebook - This is another great way you can promote new blog posts to millions of people who use this social media/social networking site. You can do this by copying the link to your blog post and paste it as your Facebook status. Facebook will do the rest by getting the title of the post and also if an image was inserted in the post to use it as a thumbnail. You can also create a Facebook Fan Page for your blog and so that your loyal blog followers can stay connected to your updates.
StumbleUpon - When you want to rack up lots of views and readers then this is also a great way to promote new blog posts. I have been using StumbleUpon for the past 2 years and I must say that this site has drawn quite a lot of traffic to my blog. So if you want to promote your new blog posts then try StumbleUpon.
Google+ – I love to use Google+ because its a great way to stay connected to fellow bloggers and a great way as well to promote new blog posts. Once you click the G+ button then you can select to share your article with everyone in your circle. Whoever has you in their circle will get a notification that you have shared something with them. This is a great way to promote new blog posts especially if your followers are interested in what you have to say.
BizSugar – I have used this site and I must say that it is a great way to promote new blog posts. It is simple. Just login to your account and submit your article for promotion.
You should also install some social media sharing buttons. This will make it also easier for others to share your new blog posts.
Promote New Blog Posts Via CommentLuv
When leaving blog comments on other blogs that has the CommentLuv WordPress Plugin installed, then you can choose to promote your new blog posts.
I thank Andy Bailey for creating such a wonderful plugin and also sharing it with other bloggers so that we can use it to generate traffic to our blog. CommentLuv has been a life saver for many when it comes to promoting new blog posts.
When leaving comments, all you have to do is enter your blog link in the URL section and CommentLuv will do the rest in fetching your latest blog post. With this plugin you can also get do-follow links on that latest blog post and this is a great way as well to get backlinks when leaving comments.
If you want to promote new blog posts then leaving comments on blogs with CommentLuv is a great way to go.
Promote New Blog Posts Through News Letters
If you have an email list then you can use this to promote new blog posts. If not then you are missing out.
Have you ever heard the term, “the power is in the list”? Well it is true.
Many bloggers have used this avenue to promote new blog posts and have also used it to make money from their blogs, through email marketing.
People who are interested in your content and blog will want to subscribe to your mailing list. When they do this all you have to do is promote interesting things to them and you can make money or get traffic to your new blog post whenever you publish one.

Promote New Blog Posts On Forums
I have been using forums for years to participate in online discussions so that I can gain knowledge or to share my knowledge with other members online that community.
Forums has always been a great way to promote new blog posts. If a forum member needs information on a particular topic then you can write a post specially for that person. Come back to the forum and share your link there with that person and get traffic back to your blog.
You can also leave links to your new blog post inside your signature. Make lots of posts so that you can be found all over the forum. Change your signature, add your latest blog post link and this will be shown on every post that you have contributed to on the forum.
