31 Day Build A Better Blog Challenge - Day Three

Task - Promote A Blog Post

ProBlogger makes a great suggestion to promote specific blog posts instead of the blog as a whole. I do that on Twitter, but not really anywhere else.

I find that most of my traffic comes from Google Search or from comments I have left on other people's blogs. My most consistent followers have come from the SITS community. I also have just begun to spend more time on The BlogFrog. It's through SITS and BlogFrog that I learned about the #31DBBB. I also sometimes post on Creatively Fit (but haven't for quite awhile and want to get back to it).

A few things I want to try in the future...

* Blogging Directories
* Wordless Wednesday Posts
* Blog Carnivals like the writing workshop at MamaKat'sLosinIt
* Start a Facebook Fan page
* Check out StumbleUpon
* Check out Kirtsy
* Make a Shimmy Button To Share

Those are some good ideas. I registered today for stumbleupon but have yet to really take a look into it much further!! I need to get back into doing MK's writer's workshop, I really enjoy it when I do it, but I have been a blog slacker lately, no more of that!
