Advertise in Person
When people advertise a website the first thing they think of in most cases is advertising online. Doing real world/ offline advertising however, is still viable. One idea of something you can do is leaver flyers on telephone poles. You can also post flyers on public boards or areas where lots of people pass by like schools, workplaces etc. One last thing you can do is give some samples out of something affiliated with your blog. If i blog about woodworking i could make something small and simple giving it away to people with a card with these site name. Just be careful to use common sense and don't post anywhere illegal

Incentives
On social media sites or forums, encourage people to get as many friends as possible to join and offer a price to whoever gets the most people to join. You could also do something like once this blog has 100 shares i will upload a special instructional. Just be sure so be more specific then that example.

Chain mail
This last methods depends on both your morals and the age group you are targeting. If you are a bad enough person you might consider starting and email that informs people that if they read it they must click on the link, being your blog, and forward the message onto 5 others if they don't want to be cursed. This however will only work if you are targeting people under 12 years old.
