Request for Advice
So I’ve been writing this blog for over 6 years now, and the fact that I only have about 2 dozen regular visitors is a good sign that I suck at self-promotion.
My writing isn’t at the level yet where I’m writing one hilarious post after another. So it’s no grand injustice that relatively few people read what I write. But I feel it’s good enough to warrant, say, 100 regular readers.
I’d like your advice on ways I can promote my blog entries. Publicity isn’t my strength, so I’d appreciate whatever ideas you have, however big or small. That includes writing tips, ways to improve the design of the blog, how to get content noticed, and so on. If you have a blog, where did most of your readers come from? (I’m calling you out, lacochran).
When you have a chance, leave a comment with your thoughts or suggestions. Thanks!

I’d probably read more if there was less of this self promotion business.

I read and comment on a lot of blogs. Really, my blog? Sort of a vanity press blog. Also, submit some of your stuff to places that feature blogs. I’m not eligible for 20SB but I do frequent DCBlogs. It’s a good way to get attention. (Me likey!)

commenting on other peoples blogs (like you did on mine and i’m doing on yours right now) is probably the most basic/best way to get more people to visit your site. occasionally someone will be curious enough to click on your link (like i did) and occasionally someone will subscribe (like i’m about to do).

Translate your site into Chinese.
I subscribe via Google Reader. Does that count?
