Write an article based on this "Promote your blog. Take a break once in a while."
When you start only you will know about the blog. Only start promoting your blog after you get about 15 posts or so. If you promote it before people will think your blog isn't good enough. Don't spam your link. There are plenty of ways to promote your blog.  Use different social media platforms. Add tags to your post. That will make your posts show up in search engines like google. Add a link to your site on a forum signature. It will be better if the forum and your blog are the same topic. Make sure you post on the forum though. Exchange links with others sites. Make a blog roll. Don't take a break every other week though.
