Your cornerstone content should represent the best that your blog has to offer, and also very clearly communicate the mission that you are trying to achieve.

You need to pay close attention to the quality and contents of your cornerstone articles because search engines will weigh them heavily when evaluating the value that your website has to offer.

With high-quality cornerstone content, you can build a consistent funnel of traffic that then filters to your other content, and eventually, your products and services.

4. Use social media

We all know that now social media is not just for socializing, it is a great place to share your blogs and get the attention of the right audience. Social media platforms like Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc are good places to share your blogs.

5. Make your content shareable

People will want to share your blog if they like it and you have to make sure that they can. Check your website’s setting or add social media plugins to make it easy for them to share your content with their friends.

Many social media plugins enable you to display social icons in the sidebar, below the article, before the article, and so on. You must decide how you want them to appear on your blog site and whether the plugin supports that option.

6. Guest posting

One of the easiest ways to bring attention to your blog is guest posting on other sites. You will reach a whole different audience and those who are interested in your niche will visit your blog.

7. Post video content

Along with your regular content, you can add video content to give a little personal touch. You can start a YouTube channel or simply add value to your blogs. The focus here is to keep readers engaged and give the new audience a reason to keep coming back.

8. Web forums

Web forums like Quora are another great place to promote your blog. By posting useful content, you can establish authority and it will also drive traffic to your blog.

Remember that you should have a strong author bio with a link to your blog. The main purpose of having an author bio on Quora is to introduce yourself to your Quora audience, so they can go through your Quora answers and eventually visit your blog site by clicking on your author bio link.

9. Reach out to Influencers

By reaching out to influencers of your niche, you can promote your blog and get a relevant audience. Before asking them to promote your blog, build a professional relationship with them. It might be beneficial to link to influencers’ blogs or social media sites in your blog posts because it can help you develop a relationship with them that you can nurture in the long run.
