If you want to earn money by blogging, traffic is the most important thing. Here I will share you a secret how to get more readers with less effort. As the title above, you need to start to blog in a blogging community. You will get instant traffic because your blog is exposed to the other members of the network.

For example, Wordpress.com. I’ve written a blog with my friend in Wordpres.com and done nothing to advertise the blog. But the traffic is great! Publish your post frequently and you will see that your visitors will increase day by day. Then if you think you have already reached the number of readers you want, then move your Wordpress.com blog to your very own blog e.g. your dotCom blog.
Post a notice to the readers that you are moving. This works better if the readers subscribe to your site rss feed. Use Feedburner.com as your feed service because you can change your blog feed without losing your precious readers.

Another alternative is Orble.com. Orble is a blogging community with many hundreds of member blogs who work together to promote each other’s writing. It has about 2000 active members. A great site to start your blog. Moreover, Orble.com offers you to put your own Adsense ads on your blog. The ads will be rotated with Orble.com Adsense ads with ratio 1:1. That means your ads will be seen 50% of the page views.

Below is my first statistic on my blog on Orble.com on the first day. Quite impressive. My first post received 13 votes. I don’t know if this is the trick so that I continue blogging with them. :)

The most ideal part of this tips is when you can import all your database in Wordpress.com to your new Wordpress blog. But it is not possible. Besides, you are tied to the Wordpress.com rules, such as your blog must not be a commercial blog.

For me, this thing is not wrong but just doing thing the right way. What do you all think about this? Have you tried this trick before? Share your experiences with us!
