7 Powerful Ways to Get Your Blog Noticed as a Freelancer
As a freelancer, a blog can be a powerful marketing tool.
We're here to teach you how to get that blog noticed.
1
Publish or perish, kid.Do a little research on your industry, find some hot
topics that you’re familiar with, and craft a solid piece about them. Reread your piece, fix any glaring errors, and submit that puppy to a respected publication in your field. How Magazine and Freelancer’s Union are
two great places to start.
2
Hang out where the cool kids hang out.
Online forums are a big deal when it comes to inter-industry communication.
Starting conversations and frequently providing helpful answers will show off your expertise and approachability,
and will easily lead curious questioners back to your blogging home base.
3
Get acquainted with Quora.
Quora is a social networking site presented in a “Question and Answer” format. For the most part, it really is as simple as that. It’s a fantastic research and development tool as well as a marketing tool,
and is a great way to build online relationships through helpful assistance.

Get like, totally social you guys.There’s no getting around it: people like to read and share
blog posts, and the easiest way to do that is via social media.
Share your blog posts, share the blog posts of other people in your niche, and share any helpful information or articles you
come across.
This will set you up as a go-to source in your field, and will put more eyes on your blog and your business.

Email’s still cool.Seriously, it is. Go through your email contacts, see if any
of them will find interest in your blog, and send them a quick message telling them about it. You could be just the thing they’re looking for. Another way to bring your blog to
your followers is through a bonus weekly or monthly newsletter. Platforms like MailChimp and Emma will help
you create a visually pleasing newsletter

Let that personality shine on through, baby.
The best way to avoid a boring blog? Show people your personality. Focus on your strengths and interests and
you’re much more likely to produce content that is engaging, accurate, and enjoyable to read.
An audience can tell when a blog post is genuine, so don’t be afraid to let yourself shine.
7
Stay current and stay strong.Each industry has its own set of politics and controversial
topics, and it’s highly likely that you’ve got your own opinion on them. Writing a blog post about one of these
hot-button issues is a great way to get people talking about and on your blog. The likelihood that people will
share your post goes up when you write about something that’s highly debated, and that can bring in a surprising
amount of new readers.
