Self-promotion is a quintessential aspect to being a popular blogger. There is no way around it. Most of us do not like promoting ourselves out of fear of looking like a giant narcissistic boob. However, the truth is, if you want anyone other than your parents to read your blog, you're going to have to do it. Just because your blog is out on the internet, doesn't mean that people read it. It takes a lot of work to make others aware of your writing (...if you care about these sort of things....and don't lie!....you know you do!)
Yesterday, CNN featured an article written by the creators of Stuff Hipsters Hate about online self-promotion etiquette. Though an interesting article, it was short as shit and only listed three ways to be humble internet braggarts. I thought I would elaborate a little more, based off of my own personal experiences as a reluctant egomaniac.
