I am constantly working on my blog and trying to get as many views as possible to the end of somehow getting noticed for my natural talents. What are some ways you have made the internet work for you in order to become successful?

Getting targeted traffic is one of the biggest difficulties for people who have a blog on the internet. I currently have 3 blogs I am growing in an effort to make a full time income online. Without knowing specifically what your blog is about here are some ideas you might try to get traffic:
1. Find a forum in that niche and participate - get involved, but don't sell anything. A lot of forum's will let you put your website in your signature so every time you share there is a link.
2. Find someone in a niche that is complimentary to yours and offer to write them a guest post. This will give you exposure to their customers.
3. Use social media and ask people to give an opinion on your blog. You can do this in groups that you think have people who might enjoy your blog. A question like, "I have just changed the theme on my blog, www.ccc.com, check it out and let me know what you think."
These are just a couple of ideas that usually work. If you want to let me know what your niche is I can give you some more specific ideas. Good Luck!

Your advice is extremely helpful! I my niche is fine art and design, and fortunately I have come up with a lot of ideas to get myself noticed. I would in the long run like to sell something, but I suppose I'm fine with building a name and getting exposure. I also think I may need to make more posts.
Updating regularly is definitely an important part of attracting and keeping visitors. You gave some really great advice there 80's girl! I really need to get back to work on my own site.
