1) Social Media Sharing
To get traffic instantly and to expand the circle of your connections, you should use Social Networks such as Facebook,Google,Twitter etc. I will prefer Google + as it is owned by Google and from now on it will play an important role in improving your Blog PR.

2) Commenting on other Blogs
This is a quite helpful method to promote your Blog but it is usually ignored. You can visit other Blogs of same niche and post comment there, they also ask you for your URL (Put you Blog Address there). Now if anyone clicks on your username, it will bring himher to your Blog.
3) StumbleUpon
It is a social bookmarking site that is used by millions of people to find their interest related pages. You can go and submit your Blog links there and it will give you some views on the spot. You can get thousands of views from it daily, if you have some followers there. I discovered many Blogs by using this platform, so you should also submit your Blog there and let people find out about it.
4) Guest Posting
You can write articles for other blogs to reach more number of people. Just write an article and put your Blog’s link in the end. It is a good way to promote your Blog because it provides you with new world of traffic and get you a lot of exposure. Long and Short, Guest Posting is like taking advantage of another Blog’s Popularity so that your Blog also gets Popular in People.
