There are no great secrets to marketing a Website or Blog; it just takes planning, dedication and time. When you start marketing your project try to do something new every day.

Planning: Try to write down an action plan for your marketing, for the first year, break it down to a 3 monthly cycle. For instance which directories will you submit to and how much you are willing to spend in those first three months. What are your targets for each three month period?

Create your action plan and don’t deviate from it but add to it. Research everything, the internet is massive and everything you want is only a few clicks away.

Dedication: It has been said that if you do something for twenty one days in a row it becomes a habit, marketing is a great habit to get in to. Marketing comes in many forms even visiting your competitor’s websites or blogs, what are they doing that makes them successful?
