If you are using blogger or tumblr, you can add tags to the posts. Just use common tags that people would search for. Just make sure that they make sense for the story. It would be jarring to see "Slender" and "Tall Man" in the tags in a post about what you did in school that day.

Once you've started the blog ask a mod to post a trailhead for you. Come on the MyImmersion Tinychat and spam other fans and creators. Get into the creators Facebook group. etc...

either A) be good at your job or B) know the right people.
most series' get away with at least one of those.

Slenderbloggins did a post about getting a blog publicity a while back.

(Keep in mind that the post is almost a year old; it mentions the Trailhead Troll, but they're no longer active)

The mods are your friends. Cougar Draven, ChildOfAtom, and myself are more than happy to post your trailheads on the forums. Just send one of us a PM and we'll get it posted. As for holding your crowd's attention -- that's what good storytelling is all about.
Good luck on your series!

Since I'm also new to posting slenderblogs, it was timely that I found this. It's comforting that here blogs become relevant/popular by merit.

Oh yeah. Also don't be afraid to do some viral marketing. Recently I sent my blog to a slenderblog reviewing tumblr (and there are a lot). Now I recieve about 50 daily clicks.

Or you could do what I did with Dark Dream Chronicle and drop OOG hints to your friends/everyone you know and challenge them to find it. XD
Or what I'm doing right now with my third story in my signature. Say it exists and leave it at that. Though the third story has been found, it just doesn't have a thread (will soon though, my friend is just busy right now).
That discovery aspect keeps people interested, I've found.

What are some of them that come to mind? Not that I'm in a hurry to get mine out there, I'd rather there be more meat to the story and feedback so I can find my own voice.

Yeah, the idea of this blog is to be a viral marketing, or more showing the rules of my future video series. Putting some of the major players into play. I just figure that it would still need promotion for it ( the blog). I have created the blogger, with some post in draft for it.
I should check slenderblog reviewing tumblr. Thanks, I'm surprised this got responded very quickly.

slender-man-comes and slendyslayer are two. Just check the #slenderman and #slenderverse tags often. You'll find others.

Well, in the end, there's no real sure-fire way to make your blog the next DiD or JaF. It comes down to the right mixture of style, hard work, interesting story, talent, and plain ol' dumb luck.
For example, my blog (which I won't link to because I'm not sure if I'm allowed to) has gotten a little exposure here, but its kinda fizzled out. I'm still going to carry the story to its conclusion (it'll be good practice for my books), but it's going to be harder knowing that not many people are seeing it.
Hope your blog does better then mine though.
