Do you have a blog that you are extremely proud of? Would you like to share it with other people? If so, there are many free ways to promote it and get it noticed.

One of the best tips is to promote your blog via something you do every day and which you may not yet have considered as a way to share it – Add a link to your blog in your email signature.

Consider how many emails you send out each day, and each time you send one out, you could be promoting your blog.

It’s also always a good idea to write something catchy like “See what I am up to now“, or “Read the latest chapter of my blog here“. Of course you could also vary it, but always remember to keep it short but eye-catching.

You want people to be interested enough to want to click on it, but you don’t want to put them off. Remember to give them just enough information to make them interested and want to take a closer look at what you are promoting.

Think carefully what your blog is about and what would make people want to visit it and include THAT in your signature.
