How to Get Your Blog to 100,000 Visitors and Beyond, Step 9; Put Blog URL on All Emails

Step 9 to getting to 100,000 visitors and beyond: Put your blog URL on all your emails by using it in your signature file.

This is a simple tip and while it certainly won't drive a ba-zillion people your way, it will send some and it costs you nothing (other than a few minutes).

Early in the life of my blog, I added the blog's URL and a brief description to my email signature file so that every message I sent, every message I replied to, and every message I forwarded (not to mention all the messages of mine that people sent on to others) included a small advertisement for Free Money Finance. It simply reads:

I know, it's not great. I could make it much better. But since this is sent from my work email, I toned down the hype-meter to make it subtle. It works in this context.

Here are some other ideas to make the most of this tip:

• Add it to all your emails. You could also a signature to your home email address.
• Ask others to do the same. I had people at work who added Free Money Finance to their email signature files too.
• Be sure it attracts some attention. I made the "ad" for my blog a bit smaller than my name, title, etc. to call attention to it. I also put it at the end, as the last thing on the signature. It stands out a bit more as a result.

Not rocket science by any means, but just a small tip that can work with all the others to help drive your traffic to new heights.
