Most of us advertise and promote our blogs in some way or other. Perhaps link exchange, directories, forums and so on. But it's also worth advertising individual posts as well.Now and again I write a post specifically for this purpose. I then advertise/promote the post in the normal ways. And doing this pays off.
If I look at the five most read posts for Mike's Money Making Mission, for last month, three of these are, what I call, my 'promotional posts' and are ones I have advertised/promoted individually.

The idea of these posts is to attract more visitors and specifically those who might not otherwise visit this blog. This goes back to my idea that Regular New Blood Is Needed To Make Money.
I try to give these promotional posts a catchy title. Something which might get someone to click out of curiosity. It doesn't necessarily have to be something to do with making money with free blogs.
Of course I hope that some of the new visitors will come back again or maybe subscribe. Not everyone who visits will ... but you never know. At least I'm in with a chance and extra traffic = extra money making opportunities.
Good luck,
Mike.
