How To Promote A Post
1. Start An Email ListEmail seems to be the most reliable method to connect with the audience. Details from Kinsta shows that 4.03 billion people presently use email worldwide, and expected to increase to 4,48 billion by 2024.
Do I really need an email list?
Yes, you do. Do you know you could wake up one day and have no access to your social media platforms without prior notice?
Social media is equally important to get your content out to the public but pay more attention to your emails.
Just in case something happens………….

Thanks so much for this blog. I am new, (February 2021), here at WA and did not get any training on the importance of a emails, how they work, or how to install it. Which email marketing service is easiest to use? I am not tech savvy and had difficulties doing other tech stuff before.
Thanks again for all the information.

Start by building your blog no point in paying for an autoresponder until you have traffic
Email marketing is important, and you can leverage the free plan.
I'm using the free plan.
It all depends on your subscriber's list.
Most of the email marketing service has a free plan for subscriber's list less than 500.
You can check out Jay's training on email marketing. Email Marketing Walkthrough The easiest email marketing tool I know is Convertkit. It's beginner-friendly and has a free plan of subscriber's list of less than 1,000.
You don't need to pay a dime at this stage unless you already have a huge list.
Another interesting and informative post Muslimah.
Everything you have outlined here is, in my opinion, crucial when wanting to promote a blog post successfully.
Love the last part, being a part of a pay it forward community, I believe it is imperative to give before we have any expectations to receive.
Have a fantastic day my friend!
Muslimah you could perhaps join groups on social media within your niche and answer questions regarding that topic
Beforehand, you could probably prepare your block in a pdf checklist to share with the members in your group especially those that are asking a lot of questions
This is where you can send them.to your leading page for the PDF checklist and in return you get their email addressess
You blog is very structured, engaging and provides lots of insights and high valuable information
