13 ways I promoted my Blog to Success

[smub]

Today I wrote a post on my about my marketing techniques that I have been using with my blog for the past 6 months.

I launched Balkhis on Feb 1, 2008 and its 6 months old now. I think this website has grown tremendously. I have 538 subscribed readers via feedburner and numerous that are not subscribed. Balkhis has made me $1923.58 in the month of July from my older posts which contains Affiliate links and adsense. Affiliates were a big part of that income. Direct sales were low but affiliates dominated.

I wrote an ebook and got over 1000 downloads within 1.5 days.

Now do you wonder how did I do it?

Your website looks like a well decorated and well placed room to me. Everything was so neat and well placed that it gived comfort to eyes. Its reflecting what kind of human being you are.

With that you are also making your name a familiar one. Perfect marketing skill mate.
