Being new to blogs and promoting them, and even running the admin area, is sometimes a challenge that gets more attention than I want to use on it. I suppose it is part of the challenge and it will become easier with time.

Still, to get read, noticed and to earn some money you simply have to put in the effort.

Before I launched the blog, I researched other blogs and how to promote them well. What I found out was that promoting is not a complex task, but it is something that needs to be done consistently over a long period of time.

I think that is the part that annoys people the most. I think that many people expect instant success with an online venture when, in fact, it takes time and effort and a little money.

For my part, since, as of writing this post, I am about to begin the long process of promoting.

This is how I will do it to begin with.

I will begin by writing four articles a week in EzineArticles. I will focus mostly on writing, publishing and site building for novel writers.

The articles will be about 300 words each.

I will do this for a few months to determine the workload. I have to be very careful with writing because I am already writing 1500 words a week for the chapters and I am starting a second story which will have chapters added every two or three weeks.

While I get that routine established I will begin using FaceBook, I have an account already called Alra Forest. I just need to set it up to look good and have material to add into it.

While I do that I will be researching StumbleUpon in detail before heading into that world.

That is the plan for June.

I am expecting some results but it is tough to estimate what they will be. Regardless or result, I will keep working the above methods for at least six months before deciding to change or expand them.
