How to make this blog more popular?

Like with everything new it is always a question " how will the people know about?" Because one thing is clear the best helping or advisory site is useless if nobody knows about it or cannot find it. So I was searching around the internet and found several options:

1. Write the post and wait until the major search engines will find it
   Not really a good option unless you have endless time
2. Use advertising programs like adsense and many more on the market
