Word of mouth

[Shawn Gossman]

How do you feel about the statements below:

If you have no way to promote your new blog, start out with:

1. Promote it on your personal social media profiles
   1. Ask your friends to reshare it
2. Promote it to your close family members
   1. Ask them to reshare it
3. Promote it to your close friends
   1. Ask them to reshare

This might be the most powerful way to promote your blog at least in its earliest phases.

How do you feel about this?

These strategies can definitely get you some traction as a beginner blogger when you really fear getting yourself out there and want to stick to your comfort zone of familiar family and friends.

After you've been blogging for a few months you will realize that your family and friends are probably not deeply interested in your niche and their friend network certainly isn't highly interested in your blogging niche, in most cases. Eventually, you'll get no traffic and make no money with the strategy because it's not highly targeted, at least when you start getting into months and then years of blogging.

The easy way, and I use that word rarely but it applies in this case, to get targeted traffic, blogging income and to enjoy the ride is to promote bloggers from your niche across social media. They will befriend you and promote your content to their targeted tribes which drives high quality traffic and blogging profits.

I like this strategy.

I know I should do this more often, myself. It is a great way to network and get the favor returned but to also make a friend.

This strategy works so well because fellow bloggers who dig your generosity promote your blog to their targeted audiences, expanding your reach and driving quality traffic to your blog exponentially.
