how to boost your blog using Twitter and emails

Blogs are a powerful way to pull readers to your website, to educate and entertain them and lead them to action on your website. But how do you attract readers to your blog?

Compelling and useful material is, of course, essential. But other communication tools can also be useful to advertise your blog across the web.

We look at Twitter and the good old email.

Email: The Copyblogger site recommends pushing people to your blog using an email newsletter. Copyblogger says email your blog’s RSS feed as a newsletter; start a simple opt-in email newsletter; link back to your blog; and place newsletter subscription tools everywhere.

Twitter: Put up an appealing Twitter post (aka a Tweet) about each blog post you make, and link back to your blog post. Heaps of readers will see the Twitter Tweet (especially if you have built up a group of Twitter followers) and so will be able to visit your site if they are attracted to your message. If you search and monitor the Twitter traffic, you will easily find people with an interest in the information on your blog ands can tailor your Twitter messages to attract them.
