Trying to promote my blog, I looked at the share button. When using it I found another useful thing. Most times when you click it you also find an email button with the social sites you can share to. Most blogs gives you this option because they know that you know people who are not on social sites and simply connect because they have to have an email account.

This is simple to use, just warn your friends beforehand and skip the ones that said no. Even I f you don’t have a share button, there is no harm in writing your friends and adding the link to your blog. There are different approaches to this. One I like is used by Be Motivated Today. They have a form letter you can modify to advertise your site with them. You simply copy and paste to your email, add the right stuff and send. You can also create your own letter to help you with this.

When you run out of friends to send to things gets more interesting. Now you have to find new email addresses to send things to. I simply drop into my spam filter and start opening mail. You will find that most spammers cannot resist sending to you and someone else. I simply copy that someone else’s address and send them a link to what I would like to get read. Occasionally someone would write and ask who I am. That is the time to make a new friend.

Sending Emails is not the only way to promote your blog via email. At the bottom of your mail, there is a space to add your signature. This gets added to every mail you send. I added my blog and of course the two profiles two the two most profitable sites I joined, Blogger and Triond. This way, if someone gets a mail from me I have a chance that they will follow my links. I answer every mail I can and I jokes and like stuff to people who I know will forward it to their friends. The Idea is to get your link out to where people can read it.

Use your email. It may be the cheapest marketing tool you ever had.
