I have recently started writing blog posts on a self hosted ghost blog. I went this way because I like to have full control of my blog . In this world where medium, facebook, twitter are the main mediums of consumption of articles, how do you guys promote your blog posts.<p>I just want to promote my blog using simple methods for information purposes.
No business or ads revenue.
If you're writing great content, submit it on Hacker News.<p>Apart from that you can drive traffic from your blog's social media pages.<p>You can also publish a story on LinkedIn and link to your blog post. Use (don't spam) LinkedIn and Facebook groups as well.<p>Have a look at some niche social networks. An example: Growthhackers.com for content related to marketing, user acquisition, engagement, etc.<p>Write guest posts on other authority sites and put a link in your bio.
