Interesting niche, and blog! Love the log cabin 2.0!

My suggestion is to start off by making sure every human you know is aware that you are writing this blog, by putting the link at the end of every non-work email you write. Be sure to copy everyone you know at least once, and let them know you’re starting up this blog, and ask them to forward to anyone and everyone they know who might be interested.

I see you already have a Facebook link and a link to subscribe – excellent.

Next, is your own neighborhood full of tiny homes, or what about that beach town that’s nearly in your backyard? You could do flyers and hand them out door to door, or ask local retailers to let you hand them out to everyone who comes into their store. Or sponsor a local “best tiny house” contest and submit a press release to the local radio stations and newspapers about the contest. You’ll need a prize, which could be as simple as featuring the winner on your blog, or a TheTinyLife.com t-shirt or coffee mug… or maybe a miniature dollhouse… or as grand as throwing a The Tiny Life theme party for the owner and everyone on the owner’s city block.

If you know any local real estate agents, they might hand out your flyer to prospective clients in a “welcome to the neighborhood” type of package, or they may have other ideas how to market your blog in your local area.

Do you remember the Murphy bed? You could contact them and other vendors who help consumers save space (Ikea? Container Store?) once you have some readership statistics, and ask them to advertise on your site.

I hope that helps get you some momentum! Good luck to you!
