How to advertise on my blog?

[Meghan]

Hello,

I would suggest first trying to add followers/traffic to your blog. In order to attract advertisers, other then adsense, you will need to have significant daily traffic to your blog. To even make money off of adsense, you need to have enough followers to click on the ads that come up on your blog.

In order to gain followers and increase traffic to your blog I would suggest the following:

1. Participate in Other Beauty Blogs: Find other blogs with similar topics and audience to the audience you want to create, and then leave comments (make sure that you link to your blog in your signature) Bloggers like to know that people are reading what they are writing, and they respect people who comment! Simply by participating in other peoples blogs, you will be getting your blogs name out there is a positive manner. Once you have built connections with other bloggers, it is likely that they will come visit your blog, and possibly decide to follow. From here, you may be able to attract guestposters, or to even guestpost on other blogs which also helps drive traffic to your blog.

2. Hold a Contest: It sounds like you have a small but loyal following. Try holding a follower contest where you will give away a beauty product if you reach 50 followers. This will motivate your small following to get the word out about your blog (as they will want the product that you are offering). Eventually, when you get enough traffic, you may even get a company to donate products for contest giveaway.

3. Join a Directory: Directories, like BlogNation.com, can drive relevant traffic to your site if you sign your blog up. It is free of cost to sign up for MakeupBlogs.org, powered by BlogNation, and will help direct relevant traffic to your blog.
