Build up your network so when your blog is ready to launch you can enlist the help of your friends to spread the word. All you have to do is contact people and ask them for a small favor. Tell them your site is launching and you'd love to get the word out. Mike, don’t worry if you don’t have a site now.

Just wondering ... How do you recommend implementing this? Example: I have no Web site to leave on this post. I hate this but the reality is that I don't have a site ready. Are you recommending that I ignore this dilemma and just alert my various social networks when the blog is alive, or do you feel it is better to take some baby steps and establish a friendly "trust me, great things coming soon" landing page along with some sort of sign up enticement? Thanks! Interesting idea Michael. Just wondering … How do you recommend implementing this? Example: I have no Web site to leave on this post.

I've never tried hyping a website prior to it being complete but would be worth giving it a try. It would have to have a clean logo and look professional. I always see these websites with "submit your email" Wayne, this comment is worthless….

I'm still in the planning stages for a blog. One of the ideas I've seen is to start with a "practice blog," so you can try some different ideas and tools without too much pressure. Then after a month or two, move on to something more substantial. I think I'll play around a bit on my own first, but I can definitely see your idea helping launch the "more substantial" blog.

My url point to the placeholder page telling what I'm going to blog about. (but now I switch my blog's niche already and old niche is on hiatus) When I published my first (ten) posts, I'm happy that commentors said they eagerly wait for my blog to be opened for a long time lol Blog/WordPress is so easy to setup, everyone can open a blog in no time. I see many new Thai blogs that die because no one read/know its existent and the blogger getting bored. I hope they'll know this - make connection first, blog later.

I hope they’ll know this – make connection first, blog later.

You don't want to lose readers. This situation really only applies when the blog to be launched is brand new. @Nate – I would suggest you keep creating content, since the blog already exists.

Should I stop putting effort into new content and just focus on building the audience using the other techniques? What if I’m planning to move an existing blog?
