Too often bloggers forget that they can promote themselves in the offline world. When I first started MMO Explorer, I focused entirely on attracting online readers. This is a huge mistake. Think about how many people you come in contact with in a given month. There is no reason why they would be any less likely to enjoy your blog than people you meet online. In fact, I would argue that it is easier to market your blog offline.
For a site like MMO Explorer, whenever I meet people interested in gaming, I make sure to tell them about my blog. This is a great way to gain readers. there is still more of a personal connection when you know someone in the 3D world. Another great way to market your blog offline is to have business cards created. I have found a great deal on free custom business cards. You will be surprised at how this can really help you to gain readers.
