Bloggers are now using social media to increase the success of their blogs. Many bloggers are creating a following on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter to promote their brand and drive people to their website.
Social media sites provide you with many opportunities to attract new followers to your blog, however with so many social media sites you need to know where to start.
Mashable has provided five tips to help you navigate social media sites to increase the success of your blog.
- Display your social media icons at the top of your website: Allow your followers to connect with you on other social media platforms by displaying a link to your Twitter and Facebook pages at the top of your website.
- Create a Facebook page for your blog: Every time you upload a new blog post you can share the link on your Facebook page. This alerts your followers to the new post without hassling them.
- Display your RSS feed on LinkedIn: Using a blog link application your most recent blog posts will be displayed on your profile. This is great if your blog relates to your professional goals and attitude.
- Use link shorteners: Always use a link shortening website such as bit.ly when you are posting links on social media. These websites then measure how many people clicked the link and at what time. This data can help you measure the success of your blog posts and experiment with different content and times.
- Join blogger groups on Facebook: These groups can provide some great advice or problem-solving for new bloggers. By being an active member of a Facebook group you can also attract new followers to your website because bloggers regularly read other blogs. You can also start your own blogger Facebook group.
Devoting time to social media is essential to increasing the success of your blog. You can gain inspiration, create new relationships, find new followers and stay informed on industry news.
