Well what I have to ask before I try to answer is what are you currently doing for traffic? I know that 3-7 visitors just didn't drop out of the sky. My blog is less than 2 weeks ago; and I'm of course trying to plan out a content marketing plan (that isn't blackhat).

Currently, I get around that many numbers and what I do is I comment on YouTube videos that are directly related to my blogpost, but only when it is relevant.

I don't expose my link before the "read more" line because... well I just don't want to. Sure, exposing it right away will help with reach, but I try to add value comments for the first 3 lines.

Oh, also, try to befriend the person who's running the show (the channel owners and what not). It is as simple as saying "I really enjoy your contents." It'll help your link stay there
