Zen Coffee Blog

Posted by Anonymous on 7/10/2008 at 12:08 PM ET 250 Points
Just created a Zen Coffee blog -- https://zen-coffee.blogspot.com -- three days ago which offers a bit of Zen philosophy coupled with mindfully meditating by coffee. The blog will also help to build buzz for one of my forthcoming books. I'd like to let more people know about it and drive more traffic to the blog. I've sent out an email blast to all my contacts, talked about it on my other websites (4), posted about it in a writer's forum, and left comments on other appropriate blogs with a link. Is there anything else I can be doing to promote the blog? Thanks for your help.

    Hi Gloria,

    Congratulations on the new blog!

    I might try repurposing some of your blog posts into articles that you could post on sites like ezinearticles.com

    There are others as well. The goal is to set yourself up as an expert so your content gets used by others. The only caveat to their using your stuff is ...guess what....a link to your blog at the bottom! Everyone wins!

    Hope this helps,

    Kris

    I would've suggested that you host the blog on your zen-coffee website, not blogspot's domain. It would help build your web traffic and your brand.

    Add Social Marker (https://www.socialmarker.com/) to your site to help build the buzz.

    My advice is more visual and product oriented. I would create a logo for Zen Coffee that matches the treated paper look - something in a 2 tone dark brown. Should look like a stamp or a digital letterhead. This will make your blog look more legit. Also would suggest a headshot of the author somewhere on the page. I would also offer a opt-in device like a FREE report on coffee drinking tips or recipes or even the health benefits of coffee.
