What I did when just starting out was to find where the most people went to find out about subjects I blogged about. So if everyone who liked my menu planning posts went to Menu Plan Monday at Org Junkie every week, so did I. Find where the readers are that you want, whether it's a forum, community, blog, twitter, etc. and focus your participation there. It can be a huge time-sink to spread your time around to lots of places, while only dabbling and not getting really involved. If you can focus your time on 1-2 places where people are that you REALLY want reading your blog, I think you'll find it worth the time. Hope that helps a little!

If you are limiting your time, how to use it most effectively? What are the things to focus on that will have the greatest impact? I have been trying to narrow my blogging time down to those things, but haven't quite effectively come up with anything yet! Amy Ellen That is a great question!

Here's my question though... in limiting time online, are there some "best ways" to promote a blog so that most of the online time can be spent on actual blogging? I am looking for some efficient ways to publicize my blog... ways that don't sap the little time I have to actually blog. I would appreciate your thoughts on this! Thanks!
