13 ways I promoted my blog to success

[mbalkhi]

Today I wrote a post on my about my marketing techniques that I have been using with my blog for the past 6 months.

I launched Balkhis on Feb 1, 2008 and its 6 months old now. I think this website has grown tremendously. I have 538 subscribed readers via feedburner and numerous that are not subscribed. Balkhis has made me $1923.58 in the month of July from my older posts which contains Affiliate links and adsense. Affiliates were a big part of that income. Direct sales were low but affiliates dominated.

I wrote an ebook and got over 1000 downloads within 1.5 days.

Now do you wonder how did I do it?
