Mostly it just took a lot of time and daily posting, as well as connecting with other writers, to get my work seen. Your audience will kind of flock to you sometimes as more and more time goes by and you post more often. I have a list of writing blogs here that you can connect with and check out for inspiration.
Also, one of my followers sent me a link to this blog that has some really great tips, a really long list of them, for how to self-promote your writing blog and get it noticed. It also has some advice for how to tag your writing in a different, better way.
You can find the list here; I myself have recommended it to several others since it was suggested to me, and it seems to be pretty useful.
Good luck! :)
