I just posted my second article on my main blog that is based on a dialogue between me and a game developer:
City of Steam preview.
After my initial success with contacting a developer and e-mailing them some questions, I was quick to pounce on an opportunity I saw the other day, for repeating the success.
In a gaming forum that I frequent I saw a small publisher posting about their game, obviously trying to do a little promotion.
I figured that they would probably be interested in an article even on a smaller blog, if they were using game forum posts as a means of promoting their game.
Sure enough, after contacting them by mail, I got an e-mail interview set up and got excellent some excellent responses back that I could use for a preview article.
This time I tried to apply all the knowledge I have picked up about post promoting into really securing traffic for my post.
I submitted the article to reddit. I made sure to do some extra tweets on Twitter. I also used Empire Avenue, posting in their video game community and making an ad.
Then I went on the search for relevant websites that could be interested in this sort of article.
If I could get them to either do a small piece themselves, with a link to my post, or just post a straight up link to my post, then I could get even more traffic.
I submitted my post to Blue's News video gaming site, and then looked for MMO specific sites, since the game I was writing about is an MMO.
