How to grow blog audience?

Question

Hi, makers! I started to make a weekly series on Medium (a new issue came out today https://medium.com/aaply-stories/3-apps-a-week-issue-4-lets-get-creative-c459b731cfce) and I want to ask the PH community for advice. How do I promote my blog (preferably for free 😂)?

It's not Medium, but I used to work on a blog in Korea. I personally think that there are various ways but the best and hardest thing to do is keeping on making sincere contents and uploading them. I find it takes quite effort to keep making good quality contents and uploading them regularly :)

Most of all, the packaging of the account plays a role, then advertising.

Join social media groups/discussions/forums related to the topic you are writing about and post there your articles :)

Everything already mentioned - but be careful of being spammy, especially on Reddit as those mods are very keen!

I'd also spend some time trying to understand the SEO space in your market.  I've had great success in the past focusing on longtail keywords and writing blog posts specifically to serve them.

@roberto_robles might have some more SEO tips too!
