Hi, makers! I started to make a weekly series on Medium (a new issue came out today https://medium.com/aaply-stories/3-apps-a-week-issue-4-lets-get-creative-c459b731cfce) and I want to ask the PH community for advice. How do I promote my blog (preferably for free 😂)?

For new blogs I recommend, as mentioned before, trying to make useful content for users + good SEO

Join social media groups/discussions/forums related to the topic you are writing about and post there your articles :)
@miriam_barchilon_elbaz that's good advice, thank you!
Improve you social listening skills.
Keep testing what works best for your audiences.
Best of luck 👍
Everything already mentioned - but be careful of being spammy, especially on Reddit as those mods are very keen!
I'd also spend some time trying to understand the SEO space in your market. I've had great success in the past focusing on longtail keywords and writing blog posts specifically to serve them.
@roberto_robles might have some more SEO tips too!
@roberto_robles @maxwellcdavis yeah reddit mods already got me once or twice! thanks for the advice, I'll be thinking about SEO of my nieche
By doing blog promotion, social bookmarking, tweeting it, posting in groups, sending cold mails, etc.

It's not Medium, but I used to work on a blog in Korea. I personally think that there are various ways but the best and hardest thing to do is keeping on making sincere contents and uploading them. I find it takes quite effort to keep making good quality contents and uploading them regularly :)

@iris_park did the creators who were consistent get pushed out there to the audience?

Share cool websites
Hello Sofya, writing an article on other blogs from your industry is also a great way to increase your visibility/credibility. But it requires approval from the other person, which is quite hard to obtain!
@ph_hersen it's no easy task but I think such thing would be very fruitful. Thanks, Paul-Henri!

You may build backlinks on high domain rating (DR) websites, but not to be spammy. Focus on long-tail keywords in your blog, it's easier to hit rather than the popular ones.
@treychong Thank you Trey!
