Three Ways to Promote your Associated Content Articles

Probably one of the best ways to promote your content on Associated Content is to have a large number of subscribers. But the trick is to get the subscribers in the first place. So how do you do that? The way you do that is by writing great articles about interesting subjects that a lot of people will not only want to read, but will also want to come back in the future and read more of your work.

Great content is very important. Without it, there's no point to promoting your work. It will be a fruitless effort if you don't have articles people want to read.

How to promote your Associated Content Articles Tip #1:
Digg.com is one of the most popular websites on the planet. Digg is a website where people submit articles that they like and expose them to other Digg members. As people vote for an article, or "digg" it, it rises to the front page.

Articles and websites that get to the front page get thousands of views in a day, and there can be sustained traffic for weeks thereafter. Thousands of page views means more payments from AC. If you write good stuff, you might get Digged.

How to promote your Associated Content Articles Tip #2:
Delicious is a social bookmarking website where you bookmark sites, articles, and posts that you like. Other people can search Delicious for interesting articles. You can also see other people's bookmarks and tag them to see what they add on a daily basis.

So if you start posting a lot of cool content, then you may get some fans on Delicious eager to see what you're going to post next.

Just sign up at Delicious.com and you will be able to drag a "add to my delicious" button that you can drag to the top of your browser. When you finish your article and are ready to promote it, click that button, fill in the fields with some keywords, and your article is on the website. You can also use the social bookmarking buttons near the top of the articles on AC.

Delicious also has a front page--if your article is cream, it will rise to the top and get hundreds of page views. And that's a good thing.

I'd sure like to know how to get to the top of Digg without those bots some people seem to use. Is it possible, I wonder? That doesn't keep me from trying, though.

Good suggestions; it's interesting to hear that you can make money on blogger rather than having to pay for your own URL.
