Top Places To Share Your Blog

Are people standing in line to buy from you?

If blogging is part of the marketing strategy for your business, (and it should be) you need to know where to share your blog effectively so that you attract people in to your website.  Here are some of the top places to share your blog.

Social Media Groups

Many platforms such as  LinkedIn, Google+, and Facebook allow groups and communities which  give you great value because most people are there to network and will share your content readily. You can target your content to these audiences that have vertical groups for every audience.

Visual Social Media

Pinterest and Instagram generate a lot of social traffic because users find it easier to immerse themselves in a community experience that is 100% visual. Sharing a picture with your network is almost too easy and can go viral much faster than any blog could.

Often users are too busy to read and  just want to skim until something catches their eye. Since pictures can tell an effective story without saying hundreds of words, visual social platforms like Pinterest, Instagram, Tumblr, and Snapchat have enjoyed tremendous growth and popularity. Brands are now taking advantage of this trend by making infographics and stories easier to find and more enjoyable to see.

Images are a powerful way to share ideas and get involvement from fans. You are not limited to just the written word. You have the ability to share images of your favorite things: foods, vacation destinations, hobbies, and many others that are of interest to you as well as to others.

Sharing Platforms

These are the basic social platforms that are widely used and not always targeted quite like groups are. You probably know them all; Stumbleupon, Facebook, Digg, Twitter and countless others depending on your preferences. While these provide a wider audience, that have a less targeted audience unless you join the groups they have.

Business Platforms

Depending on your business and your niche, a great amount of traffic can come from these social media platforms. BizSugar or SmallBizTrends are a couple of business platforms that can enable you to reach your target market by using keywords that relate to your group.

Linking Your Blog

Google+, Facebook, Pinterest, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Twitter are the most commonly known as places where you have the ability to link your blog.  Other resources are also available depending upon your target market.

Delicious is a social bookmarking site that allows you the  opportunity to create links to your blogs. You have the ability set up a free account and then simply place the link to your article or blog on their site.

Digg is a great place to find the most interesting and talked about stories on the Internet. It has an editorially driven front page, aiming to select stories specifically for the Internet audience such as science, trending political issues, and viral Internet issues. 

Scoop.it allows you to create boards of curated content based on topics you choose, share your thoughts on that content, and connect with others who have similar interests.

StumbleUpon is a social network that helps you discover unique and interesting things across the Web. But what you may not know is that it is also a notable place for you to put a link in to your blog, which allows browsers find it, and visit. You can create a free account with StumbleUpon and download the toolbar, and get started.
