via 7 Ways You Can Promote Your Blog For Free

To answer the questions at the end of the linked post: I do the following things to help promote my blog:

First of all, I automatically share my post on my social media platforms, as well as my tumblr blog.

I often times take part in Cee’s share your world challenge, if I have relevant answers to the questions that are posed there, and I leave a ping back to the post. I also take part in the Cherished blog fest every fall, which has helped me gain more blog followers, and I find posts that I really love in the process as well.

I also press posts like this one, and add tags and categorize them, so as to leave a pingback to the original poster. Since I am an author, I like to do author interviews, either on other blogs, with a link directly to my website, or ask other authors to do interviews on my site so I can share a link to theirs.

 

For those of you reading my post as well as the original post, please share your blog promotional tips in the comments below.

When I am not writing…

via When I am not writing…

My answer to this question is simple, yet complex. I love to read, listen to podcasts about writing, listen to music, crochet and do other things in my spare time. The first and most important is spending time in prayer and worshiping the Lord and spending time with my precious daughter when she’s with me, and my nieces and nephews. Often times, I will go sit out on my parents’ front porch swing to contemplate my thoughts for the day. I have hada crazy last few weeks, and I have to spend time regrouping from that, so journaling is very helpful and healing for me. These are the things I do now, when I’m not writing, revising, or marketing my books.

After reading the linked post, please come back here and tell me what you do when you’re not writing or creating your own art.
