Do you blog on a tight budget?
Learning how to promote your blog for free increases your exposure without reaching into your pocket. Social media combined with a content-heavy WordPress blog rich with your personal stories levels the playing field for bloggers. No one has a legitimate excuse for struggling online because anyone can promote their blog for free.
Free blog promotion strategies require:
- careful study
- practical application
- persistence
to see positive results from your efforts. Invest time and talent versus investing money to gain blog exposure.
Never confuse the word “free” with “easy”. Deciding to blog on a budget means putting forth a generous effort spanning 1000s of hours to gain credibility. Readers trust your content based on your blogging skills. Honing your blogging skills to the point of being seen as credible requires years of persistent effort.
Free blog promotion methods extract a price in terms of the energy expended to create and connect patiently. Do not expect quick returns with these strategies but prepare to experience significant exponential growth over the long haul by applying these techniques.

Promoting your blog for free inspires you to do such a good, thorough, in-depth job that success eventually makes a beeline for you.
Follow these tips to promote your blog for free.
A1: SEO-Optimize Blog Posts
Publish in-depth, thorough, SEO-optimized blog posts to promote your blog for free in organic fashion.
SEO-optimized posts promote themselves based on the quality of the post. Of course, readers do the actual promoting through:
- their blog
but your blog post quality goaded readers to share the post with their friends.
Dazzling blog posts serve as:
- self-promoters
- brand advocates
- passive traffic drivers
- passive income boosters
Imagine reading a long-form post pleasing to your eyes. After publishing a genuine comment you share the post on social media and your blog. The blog post content influenced you to promote the post.
Bloggers who SEO-optimize content drive free, targeted Google traffic but also drive organic traffic with optimizing being the gateway between the content and promotion.
Practical Tips
- publish 1200 word blog posts
- add details generously to create an in-depth piece of content
- use a plug-in to optimize the post for SEO
- embed multi-media content like videos into the post
- listen closely to reader problems to publish content addressing their needs
- stick to your niche to establish authority
1: Be a Multiple Sharer
Avoid being a blog post sharing one night stand.
One easy way to promote your blog for free is to keep promoting it for free.
I promote my most 10-20 recent blog posts on a daily basis through Twitter. Promoting blog posts repeatedly allows busy readers to find your content at a time beneficial to them. Some followers see your post today while others find the post next week, after you promoted it for the 5th time. Embrace this concept to drive free blog traffic through the power of being patient.
Practical Tips
- develop an abundance mindset; use what you already have to better help your readers
- promote your prior 5-10 posts daily on Twitter; space out each tweet by a few hours
- promote your prior 1-2 posts on Facebook and LinkedIn daily
2: Guest Post
Guest posting is a fun way to shout out your blogging expertise to huge, targeted audiences.
Create helpful guest posts solving pressing problems in your niche. Promote your blog via the bio box beneath the blog post. Frame guest posting as an indirect way to promote your blog. Lead with value to gain reader trust. Influence readers to click your blog link to gain exposure for free.
In order to guest post:
- build friendships with bloggers by promoting them and by commenting on their blogs
- write 500 words daily offline to improve your writing skills
- publish detailed content to your blog frequently to gain credibility in your blogging niche
Guest blogging serves as a powerful leveraging agent.
Developing the skill of guest posting demands you to pay your dues. Becoming a clear, confident writer positions you to gain guest posting invites. Networking generously puts you over the top. Connected, skilled writers turn down guest posting invites for the sheer volume of these offers flowing their way. Reaching this post requires years of creating and connecting diligently.
Practical Tips
- guest post on respected blogs from your niche
- write in-depth guest posts combined with shorter guest posts to establish a mix between short form and long form content
- include your blog link in the author bio box
3: Comment Genuinely on Top Blogs
Genuine blog commenting is a free, powerful leveraging tool for promoting your blog.
Never promote your blog directly through a comment. Genuine blog commentors add value to posts versus trying to grow business through comments.
Think indirect promotion. Share a valuable, thorough comment discussing the blog post. Personalize the comment. Be warm. Sign off with your name. Publish detailed comments to stand out from the crowd. Promoting your blog is about promoting what you know about your niche through comments. However, make comments  about the blog post itself to make the greatest impact. Put in the time. Be mindful. Add value through comments to become valuable.
Readers and fellow bloggers click your URL based on the value you provide in genuine fashion. Sharing value also helps you to avoid spam and trash folders to ensure readers see your comments.
Comment primarily to give not to get. Promote your knowledge to promote your blog effectively through an authentic blog commenting campaign.
4: Promote other Bloggers
Promote other bloggers:
- via Facebook Shares
- via Retweets
- on your blog
to befriend bloggers. Blogging buddies promote you, for free, boosting your blog traffic.
Be generous to become the recipient of generosity. Bloggers on a tight budget benefit from this method because mentioning fellow bloggers is an easy and free way to make inroads.
Practical Tips
- promote bloggers from your niche
- release expectations
- ask for nothing in return
- gain trust by promoting bloggers persistently
Making friends through your generosity is the easiest way to increase your blog traffic exponentially over the long haul. Kindly promote other bloggers. Observe how many kind bloggers promote your blog.
5: Broadcast Live on Facebook
Broadcast live on Facebook to promote your blog on the cheap.
Facebook live broadcasts add a personal touch to your blog promotion campaign. Skyrocketing phone usage and a preference for videos offers you greater blog exposure through this medium.
Stick to your blogging niche as far as broadcast topics. Target your audience for optimal returns. Broadcast at least once weekly to establish your digital footprint. Get comfortable speaking live through practice.
Mention your blog at the end of each video. Consider adding your blog link to drive blog traffic from Facebook to your site.
Conclusion
Be generous guys.
Bloggers who have the greatest success with free promoting simply advertise their helpfulness.
Enjoy being of service and you’ll rock it out using these free promotional techniques.
