How to Successfully Promote a Non-Business Blog?
I am thinking about starting up a blog with a proper domain name (e.g. www.myblog.com rather than www.myblog.wordpress.com) and its own web server.
I’m also stuck with Niche ideas? I don’t want to sell anything and bear in mind I work full-time, this blog is merely a hobby to pass my spare time 
I’ve looked on Google but everything can be so vague like ‘write about your hobbies’. I don’t really want to write a blog about writing a blog 
ideas are welcomed!
All the ‘how to promote your blog’ guides I have come across have all been related to web stores or businesses, or something that makes money. Does anyone know how you’d promote?
I have less than 100 friends on Facebook/Twitter (as they are all family/good friends, not ‘networking’ people) and have discovered from experience that asking them to share links and retweet links never works; if I am lucky I’ll have one person do it, but that’s it.
Any other suggestions? I know about meta tagging and adding to search engines, but how do I really drive traffic in?
Thanks
Quick Marketing Strategy anyone??
I own a Commerical Cleaning Franchise which charges me 17% in royalties and fees for selling me contracts and their reputable franchise brand name, in exchange they provide me with accounting, contracts (if i decide to keep purchasing from them), training (of staff), chemicals etc..I’ve decided its cheaper and probably better for me to do my own advertising and marketing to get new business. I have 0 max budget (to pay) for the actual media i will use. Can anyone help me come up with a marketing plan. I want mid-size contracts and wanna target decent size properties. The plan should help pick a niche clientelle, break down of budget usage (how and why) and any creative means to sell cleanig sevices..
SMALL BUSINESS ADVICE: How do I go to market with just one product?
I have a manufactured a luxury kitchen product but it is the only one I have as of yet. Who do I approach first?
Will my company be taken seriously with just one product. I know Microsoft only had one when they started but that was for a mass market and mine is niche.
I would like to sell it through retailers globally rather than directly from my site as I only have one product.
Any sound business advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance
