It all starts with your blog.  You've built it.  You're proud of it.  Now you want to share it with everyone.  Whether you want to make money with your blog or just use it as an outlet for your viewpoints it needs traffic. But how do you do that?  Well, believe it or not, there are a lot of free ways that you can get your blog noticed and we're going to explore one of these today.

Let me ask you - how many emails do you send out to your friends, your family members and business assosciates? In truth you probably use your email every day.  And chances are you probably haven't even thought of using it to share your blog.  It's really a very simple, effective method of getting the word out.  All you need to do is put the link to your blog in your email signature.

Chances are that you send out emails more timese that you can count during the day, Each time you send out
an email, you can advertise your blog by putting the address of your blog in your email's signature.

Now, don't just throw up a link and be done with it.  Write something catchy like, "Bet you're wondering what I'm up to?" Or, "See what I am up to now", or "Read the latest results of my weight loss adventure" – of course depending on what type of blog you have.

Just a few words will do the trick — don't write your life's history! The thing to remember about putting an adveritsement in your signature for your blog is to make it short, but eyecatching because you want people to be interested enough to want to click on it, but you also don't want to scare them off.

Its the same with any advertisment - you want to give them just enough to be interested and take a closer look at what it is that you are advertising. Tantalize them.  Entice them.  Compel them to click your link with a few well chosen words. 

what makes your blog stand out?  Why would anyone want to visit?  Focus on this, build your signature files and start advertising!

Happy blogging ….
