So you are a new blogger, you have some posts, and you think they are pretty good. How do you get those posts in front of as many people as possible so that you can make the most money from the least amount of work? It’s not as hard as you may think. Here are five tips for more blog traffic:

1. Provide great information, FOR FREE! - Let’s face it, people like getting something for nothing. The more value you can give away free, the more inherent value it gives the things that you are trying to sell. It’s the mindset of, “if they give this much away for free, imagine how much information is in the paid stuff!”.

2. Comment On Other Blogs - Get off your butt and go meet your fellow bloggers. Not only are you building relationships that can be beneficial down the road, you are also leaving a link to your blog when you do it. This brings traffic, and traffic equals money!

3. Respond to Your Own Comments – If someone takes the time to comment, it’s your responsibility to answer any questions they may have. Always reply to comments!

4. Write with the Promise of More - Leave them hanging. The readers love to hate posts that are continued, or that leave them on the edge of their seats. Like mom always said, “leave ‘em wanting more”!

5. Use Social Bookmarking Sites - I shouldn’t even have to tell you that Digg and Stumpleupon can bring tens of thousands of visitors to your site, every single month. Why not spend the time?
