1. Business Cards
For anyone to take you seriously, you need to have a business card. Bloggers are not exempt. Having a business card is a great way to introduce people you meet in day-to-day life about your blogging activity. Business cards are also very inexpensive to purchase with most costing less than 1 cent per card.

2. Industry Events
One great way to promote your blog in your niche is to attend industry events. This allows you to share your blog with a number of individuals who are interested in its subject matter. It is also a great way to associate yourself with authorities in your niche. Make sure to bring business cards and other swag (T-Shirts, pens, etc.) to make an impression on potential readers and partners.

3. Newspapers and Local Publications
While newspapers may be a dying industry, they are still very well respected and having your blog covered in the daily news is a fantastic free way to build credibility online. It may be a bit difficult to get the Wall Street Journal to pick up the story, but you should fare better with more local papers. Create a unique story angle on your blog and e-mail it along with a press release to journalists. In addition, getting a story published in the press also means seeing that story online with a direct link to your blog,

4. Readers Meet-up
If you have a substantial local reader base or live in a large metropolis, hold an official gathering for readers and people interested in your niche. It doesn?? have to be anything more than a casual get together to simply talk about the industry. This is a great way to strengthen the bond of your community and find new local readers. You can choose to hold these meetings at your home or at a more local and convenient location such as a restaurant, coffee shop, or even park.

Heh thats funny you mentioned business cards right at #1 I just bought some and it has worked wonders. I haven't really just given them away because people tend to ask me for them all the time. I guess everyone wants a web master and designer on hand right? that goes with out saying we probably understand computers as well so it is always nice to know a tech savvy person to relate with if something terrible happens.

To add a little to this already great list I would have to say to be positive and generous and people well notice you and want to become involved with what your doing. Motivational people always have a following because that is what they do. motivate and inspire. When promoting your blog your really promoting your opinions and stories or knowledge of course, so to be in integrity offline shall certainly reflect online as well especially to your community. start small, don't expect to much in the beginning and keep it real!
