Growing a blog is not an easy task, especially if you don't have an existing audience.
I'm blogging[1] actively for about an year, and my main channels of getting audience are HN and Reddit. I also believe in producing high quality content, so I get organic traffic from Google as well.
- Make sure to have your blog indexed by Google and Bing (use their search console to submit the blog for their crawlers to index). Make sure your blog is not punished (slow page loads, invalid HTML, missing meta attributes etc).
- Make sure to produce high quality content.
- Make sure to share you content through distribution channels like Twitter, HN, Reddit (where appropriate).
- Experiment with newsletter to collect subscribers to whom you can send your content.
I'm also experimenting with reposting my articles to Medium and dev.to, but I can't say whether is has a big impact as of right now. Obviously if you do repost, make sure to maintain correct canonical link back to your blog.
