Twitter

Twitter has to be number one. This is where most of my readers come from. So you should probably follow me. I schedule a couple of tweets a day with links to my blog. Scheduling tweets is probably one of the things I hate the most but it really pays off. I also include hashtags in my tweets and tag a couple of retweet accounts so that my posts can reach a wider audience. Twitter chats are probably the best part. I get to talk to likeminded people and then swap links afterwards. How awesome is that?

Instagram 

My Instagram is not focused on my blog. It's a mixture between my daily life and some blog stuff and that's how I like it. I include a couple of "blogger" hashtags if I can put it that way and it helps other bloggers find my account and therefore, the link to my blog.

Facebook 

This is another platform I find very effective. I am part a couple of blogging groups both big and small. I find that it is useful to have a combination of both because the bigger groups help you reach a wider audience and the smaller groups are more personal and you can help each other out.

Google Plus 

I am also part of several communities on Google plus and I find it very useful. Just like on Facebook I get to promote my blog to thousands of people, I can also read some interesting blog related topics and find some cool new blogs.

Word of mouth 

When I started blog I kept it to myself. I never really shared it with anyone but these days everyone knows. Friends, family, people at school and basically anyone else who is interested will know. I've also been to a couple of events and they are wonderful for promoting my blog. It may seem a bit narcissistic but when you start talking about something you are passionate about, it's hard to stop.

Other

I also use a couple other platforms to advertise my blog such as Pinterest, Tumblr and YouTube but I don't use them as often nor do I find them as effective as the platforms mentioned above.
