How can i get traffic to my new blog?

#1 don't think about traffic first. My advice? Be genuine, creative, interesting and insightful. All while trying to add your own unique flare to your writing. Focus on specific interests and passions that you are practically obsessed about. Readership will follow afterwards.

Well, as alexknight says, don't think about traffic. Think about readers. Readers are people, and you should be concerned about people, not numbers.

Second, you can read Obsession Times Voice[^1]. It comes from two guys who didn't care about readers, but were passionate about their topics. Now they have a reader or two. :)

Third. Read, read, read and read again. It will not be difficult to find good writers[^2]. This will not only teach you how to write, but also how to "listen". And if you know how to listen, you'll be more sensible to your readers. To what they want to read, to what they want to hear.

Good luck.
