Once your blog is up and running and you have added a few posts to it, you will want to start driving traffic to your site.

Here are 5 great ways for driving more traffic to your blog for free that I personally use with great results:

1) “How To Start A Blog” Videos – These step-by-step video training tutorials show you not only how to set up a WordPress blog, but also exactly how to configure it using FREE plugins that will automatically notify search engines, feed directories and social networking sites as soon as a new post is made to your blog.

Even if you (or your webmaster) have already set up a WordPress blog, these videos will show you how to go beyond the default WordPress blog installation and set up an automatic “set-and-forget” traffic-getting system for your blog that can help you grow your business online faster and save you a lot of time and effort.

2) Publish Articles – Submitting articles regularly to article sites like isnare, Article Marketer, Article Dashboard, Goarticles, etc … can get you lots of traffic, visitors and new blog readers. Just make sure you have a link pointing back to your blog in your article’s “resources box” (e.g. “for more information about [your-area-of-expertise], visit the author’s blog here: [insert your blog URL]“.

Some of the main benefits of creating useful content like articles, is that you can then reformat and reuse the same information in different ways to help you not only drivet more traffic to your blog, but also target potential new customers, educate existing customers and generate more sales of your products and services.

Some of these ways, for example, are as follows:

• Publish the articles directly on your blog or website. Just make sure you change approximately 5%-15% of the article content to avoid any “duplicate” content penalties.
• Add them to your Newsletter
• Reformat them into Ecourses or mini-courses (e.g. a 7-day course on whatever topic your business focuses on)
• Autoresponder content (e.g. customer training emails – if you need a great autoresponder service, check Aweber)
• EBook compilations
• Special Reports

In a previous blog post I share some excellent blog content creation shortcuts that will help you save time and effort creating and publishing articles.
