Blog promotion tips

My blog finally got validated on BlogCatalog. When you add your blog, it says it will be validated within 24-48 hours, but I guess they mean within 1-2 business days. I added my blog on friday, I think, and today is tuesday. Still not too bad, though.

Anyway, I found this excellent discussion about how to increase your blog traffic in the discussions section. The users in the forum, and especially one user named Timethief, bring up an abundance of good advice. Someone also wrote about using Craigslist for promotion. The same idea occurred to me. But I think you need to register an account with Craigslist to post stuff. I wonder how that is for spam? Craigslist is a bit of a paradise for spammers and junk, I’ve noticed. Will your mailbox get blown to pieces with junk if you sign up? I’ll have to find out more about that.

I finished recording song number 8 yesterday. The guitar parts were a bit tricky, so I had to practise a bit before recording to get them completely right. Today I will do the editing and mixing, and hopefully I’ll have the song up on my website by tonight.

About Sami

I was born and raised in Sweden and started studying music at the age of 10. Over the following 16 years I learned how to play the guitar, mandolin, bass, drums, trumpet, flutes, piano, sing and a few other things, and eventually graduated from college with a degree in performance. Now I'm trying to put all that stuff to good use and build myself a career, so that I can become incredibly rich and powerful and take over the universe.
