I know many IE (intuitive eating) bloggers are just happy with getting their experience written down, but others would like to share their stories with a much wider audience. If you want to find ways of getting the IE message out there, as well as getting more people to read your articles on your site, then I found this great little way of doing it.
Write an article for GoArticles.com and link to your blog within the piece. I wrote this feature called Ditch the Diet for a Healthier New You a while ago for a magazine and it never got used, so I just decided to edit it a little and put it on the site last week.
The feature has now had 14 requests, meaning that other people will be adding it to their sites or publications and circulating my blog link, which is in the article.
For the article to be picked up, it needs to be properly structured (rather than just a rambling blog entry!) but there are many publishers hungry for good content, and though I would not normally offer my work for 'free' (as a journalist, at least), the purpose of this exercise is to get other people to read my blog.
I also did it with a feature for my other blog, Clear as Quartz, with another article that hasn't been used (the magazine folded after I'd written it!). This article called How to Choose Your Spiritual Mentors (which I also put on my blog), has since had 6 requests.
I think this is only one small example of how we can market our blogs more, but I'm sure you'll have some posts already there that you can tidy up a bit and turn into more of an article.
I'm Andrea, and am obsessed with creating fabulous food. After I managed to ditch dieting, the reason Chocolate and Beyond was born, it seemed natural to evolve my site into a foodie blog. More so since I also ditched animal produce to be vegan. Now, I love showing how inventive cruelty-free cooking can be. And sometimes I like to rant, too. I wouldn't be myself otherwise :) x 
Cheers for that.x
