It's a ground roots effort and if your site is great, folks will follow. The better way I'm seeing today is to forget your web site and make your homestead news on your FaceBook.
But you may not promote your site on many forums. Check forum rules to avoid edits and bans.
I just started a brand new forum about homesteading and farming. We need people to join us.
