Now unless you went out and purchased someone else's blog chances are your blog launched with only one very loyal reader - you.

These are tips specifically for new bloggers, those people who have next-to-no audience at the moment and want to get the ball rolling. It helps if you work on this list from top to bottom as each technique builds on the previous step to help you create momentum.
