Twitter helps you to find new people and make relationships with them and tell them about your blog. MySpace allows you to post bulletins and write in your blog.

Try to know who your readers are? What attracts them most in your blog?  Consider taking out ads in a related print publication (such as a trade magazine) or buying advertising on Facebook ,MySpace or other sites.
