The most important thing to note is that you should spend 20% of your time creating new content for your
blog and 80% promoting it. If people don’t see what your write—what’s the point? I decided to put
together a list of resources for you to use to do this.

have used or that have a good reputation. You should still experiment a little to find the right combination
of services and build a promotion plan that works for your business. Some services listed below are 100%
