i created a blog to document my thoughts and goals but i am not satisfied just being the sole reader, i also want to share it with people so that people who are interested can read it too, but i have no prior followers anywhere.
does anyone know where i can advertise my blog? i am not talking about paid for youtube ads or smth similar, thats only a last resort
Submit the blog's sitemap XML to Google Webmaster to ensure Google crawls it, then it will be visible when people search for content related to what you post. You can also set up social media links for it. Write relevant posts and post them to related forums to build an initial audience. Contact related bloggers and see if you can mutually feature each other. Just stuff like that.
