Promoting your Blog through Facebook
Today, I wanted to discuss a new way people from around the World are networking, and as I have mentioned before, networking with other bloggers and businesses is important to attract a strong readership.
In the past few weeks I have started to use Facebook, a social networking site that I am sure many of you have heard about. Primarily, you create a profile, and network with other face bookers in your local area, and within your profile you can add your blog address, and add your RSS feed so your friends can read your blog via Facebook.
What is good about Facebook is that you can create groups, and add your blog address on the group, and promote it so people join up. I’ve created a group called “Travel Addicts” and have linked to my travel blog from this group, but you can crate a group for your blogging niche.
It’s in it’s infancy with only 16 members, but I have received a few dozen visitors to my blog from Facebook since I started to promote my profile and group. They are tons of groups which you can join and participate in discussions.
Give it a try, and report back with your feedback.

For example a blog about DIY.
