3. Make sure your blog's URL is imprinted on your brochures, business cards and flyers.

4. Visit related blogs in your expertise area. Share healthy, bold, helpful comments (and ideas) and include alink back to your blog.

Keep in touch with other bloggers who are in your niche market. Avoid writing boring and seeming templated things like "good blog" or "wonderful post".

5. Frequent posts attract your subscribers to come back and refer you to others in their networks; always include links to other articles, blogs and Web Sites in your posts.

6. Always link your blog in your email signature file.

In conclusion, your blog is a real gold mine. Make blogs work for you now, not later. Get more traffic to your blog and turn it into profits.
