Hello Maeve. To attract readers to your blog, you need to focus on creating high-quality content that offers value to your readers. Make sure your writing is clear, helpful, and interesting. If people like what you write, they will come back to read more and might tell others about your blog too.
You should also learn a little about SEO (Search Engine Optimization). This means using the right keywords and writing in a way that helps your blog show up on search engines. Use simple titles, add keywords people might search for, and link to other helpful websites or blog posts. This can help more people find your blog when they search online.
Another way to get readers is by joining online forums. Find groups or topics that match your blog, and join the conversations. You can share your blog link if it’s allowed, or just add it to your profile. Be helpful and friendly so people will want to check out your blog.
You can also try guest posting. This means writing a post for someone else’s blog. It helps more people learn about you and your blog. If they like your guest post, they might visit your blog and become followers.
Lastly, try making an email list. Ask people to sign up so you can send them updates when you write something new. Even without social media, email is a good way to stay in touch with readers.
It takes time to grow your blog, but if you keep writing and sharing in smart ways, more people will start following it. Be patient and keep going!

Seize every opportunity to promote your blog. The moment I came across this post, I was curious to check out your blog—but the link wasn’t there! Make sure you edit the post and add it in.
Warm up with friends and family. They’re usually the best first readers and will happily share your work.
Onboard to major platforms (school, community, library etc). Get your content in front of bigger audiences where readers are already looking.
Keep writing with all your heart! Consistency and passion will take you far.
Share your blog link in the post Title
Follow a pioneer in the field of what your blog is about
Post consistently. Decide and keep up on that frequency (1d, 1week or 1 month)
Write your heart out! True readers know AI and non AI voice!
Look for subscription to your blog via email.

Hello again, Maeve !
When inquiring about how to promote your blog, you would need specific advice and not generalized information and that would require knowing what the theme, subject or format of your blog is and what it's purpose is. This is very important so that you could draw on an interested audience, so what is your blog about ?
If your blog can be on a search engine, that may draw people to it for when they are searching the subject that your blog is about. To submit your blog to search engines, go to the search engines and verify ownership of your blog. There are tools that the search engines provide for people to submit their websites to search engines.
Whatever the subject of your blog is, attend in person events that are connected to the subject and hand out a business card with the URL to your blog on it. You didn't say what type of blog or what subject it is, otherwise I could suggest some places to go to network and hand out business cards.
After you get some business cards made up with information about your blog, hand them out to family, friends and classmates.
Register at Linked In when you are 16 years old and post your blog entries there. You need to make your blog subject specific and know who your target audience is. Create an e-mail list and interact with similar blogs and websites and draw on their readers. Visit the Computer Department or Lab at your school for information and tips about your specific type of blog.
Go to the Library or invest in some books on the subject. Some books you can explore are "How to Promote Your Blog in 2025" which is a free downloadable. These are some books to read: "One Million Followers" by Brendan Kane, "Talk Triggers" by Jay Baer and Daniel Lemin, "The Content Strategy Toolkit" by Meghan Casey, and "How to Start a Blog" by Flavio Copes.
I'm sure that there are many more ways, but remember to ask based on what your blog is about. There may be affiliated clubs, organizations, groups and other places that you can promote your blog to. I hope you get a lot of viewers and I wish you the best !

How are you doing my friend! First and foremost, I recommend once you make any post or blog, slowly triple check if any typos. As humans we make typos all the time. We can assume we had a clear sentence, but our eyes move in different patterns of our brains. Even spell check may not clearly state our message. This is so vital in the times we are living, in part someone can be interested in your material but if they see just one typo they may judge your typo as lack of diligence, as opposed to just an oversight. Then secondly, marketing is the key in any visualization. Start with your warm market (friends and family). Then, move to your cold market (people you don't know), using social media platforms. You WILL be successful, but don't stop pushing and believing in yourself. Look up the 80/20 rule definition. This can apply to persistence and resilience. If you push 80% of your details of the blog, with planned execution, you will get at least 20% of results in interest, or more. You got this! persistence nevergiveup

I'm so excited about your blog! It's awesome that you're so eager to share your passion with everyone. I know it can feel tricky to promote without social media, but going back to the basics can be surprisingly effective.
You should definitely try making some flyers! Make them colorful and fun, with the name of your blog front and center. You can put them up in places like your school, the library, or community centers. Even leaving a few with friends and family to share with their neighbors can help.
Another idea is to team up with local groups that do community outreach. Some places have regular mailers or emails that feature local creators for free. It’s a great way to get the word out without any cost.
