Social Not Promotional

Publishing is just the Start 

Blogging involves many things but first you have to create the content. It may be photos, videos or articles, but if you don’t tell the world you will continue to remain a secret. That is fine if that is what you want. 

 If you want to garner some attention and traffic then you have to market your blog. Don’t assume that readers and viewers will turn up by magic. 

 So what are some simple steps that many bloggers just forget or can’t be bothered to do? 

Just about all of us have friends and followers on social networks. Some are only are on Facebook, but most have multiple social network accounts. 

 Don't be afraid to use those social media platforms to tell people that you have published your content on your blog.

   In the "old days" of getting traffic to our blogs there were "blog exchanges" where we got traffic to our blogs reading other blogs or blog directories where we hoped someone would take a look at our blog while searching various topics or categories. Nowadays the very best way to get traffic to our blogs is through the use of popular social networks. The key thing is using social networks is to be truly sociable not truly promotional. The popular social networks work if we use them right.
