How do you promote a blog that has no traffic yet?

Tweet

I seem to be running into a problem: efforts to promote my blog are met with places or people that need it to have TRAFFIC first before they will link to it or let me use it for advertising writeups. It's like needing a job but you can't get one because you don't have experience but how can you get experience if you don't have a job? How can I list it in something to get some traffic where the fact that it is new doesn't matter? Ideas for places to list it? Here is the topic it's on: Wisdom of Abundance: The principles of attracting wealth with mathematical certainty, combined with a daily focus on finding ways to make honest money online. I would post the link but I answered someone else's request for blog links on here with it... not sure if a second link would be considered spam. p.s. While eating this post, I ate three long carrots and got BAD hiccups. Normally, bending over and drinking from the OPPOSITE side of the glass works every time. This time it hasn't. Something else to try?
