How to Get Media Coverage for Your Blog
Internet has become a strong tool of promotions of all kinds including self promotion. Many people wright blogs, some of them are useful to others while some are no more than personal diaries that you have decided that the world should read.
Some blogs get more traffic than others. It can be because of the materials being better or more appealing or even because the blog posts are appalling and people can enjoy a bit of non sense. However, blogs are an excellent manner of promotion of different things and if used properly, they can be useful in earning money as well.
If you want to have a blog that many follow and can promote whichever cause you are in favour of, you can do so by getting some media attention. It sounds hard but it may actually be relatively easier than you imagine. All you need to do is know the classic route to the media.

Have a Well Followed Blog
The first thing you need to do is to have a blog that is followed by at least a reasonable amount of people. For this you will need to have good content on your blog and you can promote it on social networking websites and post links there. You can also make fan pages on these websites for your blogs and this generally does get you an audience that can connect with your blog entries.

Be a Twitter Celebrity
Micro blogging can be much more useful in getting fame than we think. Talk on all matters and never shut the yapper when it comes to your area of interest and keep on tweeting. People like someone who talks more on this forum and you will soon start getting a following. Media people these days are overly twitter savvy and once you have a few hundred followers, follow these people. They will follow you back as they also want to have the news, it’s not easy to have news 24/7 and anything will do.

Go Controversial
This is the key to the media coverage. There are always topics that are being debated on all forums of mainstream and social media, pick a side and make a comment that shocks everyone. Make a video and post it on your blog, that’s even better. Than post it all over the social media using the social networking sites and micro blogging. Soon the news will spread like wild fire and the media that is already hungry for any news will surely be giving you a spot at the 11’o clock news.
