Most Overlooked Promotion Methods

[Shawn Gossman]

What are the most overlooked promotion methods or sources for marketing a forum or blog?

Have you discovered any of these sources or methods that seems to be overlooked by most forum and blog admins? Would you be willing to share them with us?

I'm sure there are many great promotion sources and methods that we constantly overlook. I bet if we used them more, we could further grow our forums.

I think Twitter/X is overlooked. I hate using it for anything other than promoting, but I have driven a lot of traffic to my forum from Twitter.

How have you been doing it?

I find posts get less views when they're mostly promotional.

I agree with you on this one. Twitter's posts aren't surfaced on the search engines either. However, if you use Bluesky, their content is surfaced and ranked on the search engines, so it's more beneficial. The same applies for Threads.

I find it more beneficial when I use Threads and Bluesky for promotional purposes than Twitter. I tend to overlook them sometimes, but they help a lot.
