Getting Your Blog Noticed — part 4.

When you are selling a blog, trying to bring attention to it, you have to treat it like any other product – and that means PR. You want people to know about your web site. You have to tell them about it. You can submit posts to social bookmarking sites for starters, not just the popular sites like Delicious, Digg, and StumbleUpon, but also lesser known bookmarking pages.
You also need to address the press. This can mean writing a Press Release – or hiring someone to do so – and having it submitted to sites like Squidoo. It can also mean actually talking to the press, and finding out if they’ve seen your site, directing them to it if they haven’t. It doesn’t necessarily have to be journalists at the New York Times or anything like that, of course – though the online publications for such news outlets is a possibility.
