Stunning Ways of Promoting Your Blog Posts

As a beginner, writing blog content is already a hassle and getting it noticed is another tension. But, that is the way it goes if you want more eye balls to your blog.  After writing the content, you are not at all tension-free, rather, you need to take it further for the social media promotion. It is like spreading your message out to the world to see.
social media promotion
You know, how important the traffic, SEO, comments, subscribers and shares are in making your blog post popular. Remember, each and every social media has a unique platform. So make sure that you are spending time in writing valuable blog posts and at the same time creating specific images for specific community for more beneficial social media promotion. Below are just the popular social site to promote your content free.

Twitter:
Twitter is a fertile place for promoting your post. At first you post the articles and then continue tweeting throughout the whole week. For effective results, post the tweets by changing the original title of the article again and again.

Google+:
If you want the maximum networking, Google+ is the right place. On one hand, it increases the SEO, on the other hand, it helps you to make a relationship with the people who like your content and share it. When you use Google+ in a proper way, “going viral” is really possible in no time.

Pinterest:
Pinterest is often called a visual powerhouse. For the maximum pinning, you may use an optimized image in order to share it with your content. A perfect Pinterest image abides by some rules to get more popular:
  1. Avoid human faces.
  2. Capture that against a simple white background.
  3. Include red color.
  4. Portrait style is the most popular shot.
Facebook:
Be habituated in posting your article to Facebook. Make sure, your article is accompanied by a new graphic and relevant simple status update on the Facebook page you have. Provide the link to the particular article. Don’t miss to use an attractive advertisement for securing the continuation of social media promotion through Facebook.

Linkedin:
You can also share your content to your particular Linkedin profile to promote the blog post. In case of posting in groups, first read the group rules and then post.

Youtube:
Youtube is the video version of your post. You can show how-to or tips on doing anything with this social media. Take a quick 15-20 second video and share it. It really works.

There is also a blogger community that helps you bloggers in exchanging and sharing each other’s content. Some of them are: Triberr, Social Buzz Club, Biz Blogging Buz, Viral Content Buzz and many more like this.
A huge number of people search for different topics every day. Who knows, your topic can be one of the top most ones.  Bookmarking sites help you in opening your content in front of them. My top bookmark sites are: Digg, Reddit, StumbleUpon, Delicious etc. They are the manual ones.

If you are a busy person, you’ll not like to post again and again in different sites, Bookmark automated can help you with auto-submitting the latest post. Some popular automated Bookmarks are Onlywire, Social Marker and SocialADR.

Guest post is another opportunity to spread your link. Do research about the sites that allow your guest post. Send and introduction letter and get the golden opportunity.
Your wise and productive comments can catch the attention of the fans of the similar niche. So, don’t underestimate this process. It’s really helpful.

These are just some tips. If you are consistent, it pays out in no time. To get the best effect of social media promotion, try to explore all these options described above. Happy blogging!

To Your Success
