So, let’s get started.
Create a Facebook page of your site and start publishing your articles here.
You can also share your post on your timeline to get more traffic.
Facebook Ads are also great to get first followers and user base.
Google+
Google+ is a hidden treasure for bloggers. Everyone knows about its potential, but very few use it.You can join large communities with over thousands of members and share your latest articles with them.
Friends and followers in your circle will see your posts in the search pages which can boost your traffic.
Building a user base is essential if you want to be seen more.
Moreover, if you ever mention or link to any other blogger, then Twitter is the best way to let them know that. They’ll probably retweet it with their thousands of followers.
Email Newsletter
Your email subscribers are the first ones who should get to know about your emails. They have signed up for that, right?Email Subscribers are the most loyal visitors you can have, and they are most likely to read every new article by you.
If you don’t have an email newsletter then quick, sign up at MailerLite and get started for free. Plus, you get to use automation feature with the free plan.
Email Signature
If you’re someone who discusses a lot of business over email, then email signature is a great way to get traffic.Even a simple email signature which says, “check out my latest article” will work unexpectedly.
You can create beautiful email signatures with the help of this tool.
Pingler
Pingler lets you ping your article to search engines for free.You should also submit your URL to Google Search Console as soon as you hit publish. It helps to index the post quickly.
Anything you share here is called pins, and you save your pins in pinboards.
You can create pinboards for every category of your site and start adding pins to them. The recommended size for a pin is 735 px x 1102 px.
Pinterest users love designs and graphics, so if you can create beautiful pins, then your pins have better chances of being viral.
Join few Pinterest Group Boards to get more repins from fellow bloggers.
