How do you get your Blogs name out there? Or even promote blog posts that you've written?
Do you just rely on social media or newsletters? Maybe you do guest posts on other sites to try and bring traffic that way?
I know of some bloggers that spend a RIDICULOUS amount of money on Facebook ads to drive traffic and while it does bring it it's a heck of a cost!
I don't tend to spend that much truth be told. I pay for email / newsletter software and the ability to send Push notifications to those that have signed up but everything else I tend to do 'on the free'
But I've been wondering recently if to compete with other sites in your niche and get ahead do you actually have to spend money on advertising? You can have the best blog in the world full of amazing content but if no one knows it's there what's the point?!?!
