Be Social
You need to get your content on social media sites, through your own accounts and by having organic visitors to your website sharing your content. Noir has built-in social sharing on posts, so all you have to do is make sure that you’ve created catchy post titles that will interest other people on Twitter, Facebook or Google+.

The sooner you setup your newsletter the better. People will subscribe, and most users never Country Email List unsubscribe (just take a look at your own inbox, am I right?). We recommend MailChimp since its what we use and love, plus we have an awesome beginner’s guide for MailChimp to get you started. Getting started is free, which is great for a new blogger with a low budget, and if you’re using the Noir theme there is a built-in newsletter widget for MailChimp. Just paste in your newsletter API and readers can start subscribing!



Step 3: Sell Something
With the “blog” part covered in step one, now you need to tackle the “preneur.” To be a business you need to create a cashflow from your blog. There are two ways to approach this last bit.
