7 THINGS TO DO WHEN SHARING YOUR BLOG POST

Writing a blog is a great way to share your thoughts and expertise on topics that appeal to your target audience. At the end of the day though, your content needs to be seen. Today I write out the steps I take to share my blog posts. Here goes:

1. Write blog post
2. Create a clickworthy title
3. Shorten blog url using bit.ly to include in each of my shares
4. Create 2 graphic images

       • one with my website address I bottom right corner to be used when I share my post on Pinterest and Facebook (has text                          overlay blog post title)
       • one with just the graphic (has text overlay blog post title)
       5. Schedule post on the following social media platforms at a time when my audience is most active
       • Instagram
          *use highly targeted hashtags
       • Facebook Page
       • five Facebook Groups (shared from my Facebook Page with an invite to like my page)
       • Pinterest (on two of my business boards)
       • Google Plus
       • LinkedIn
       • boost blog post by reposting it on Twitter 4x throughout the day
       • email posts via newsletter
      6. monitor my posts by conducting a weekly check of referring sites to my blog using Google Analytics or website referring tool
      7. View top pages on site and the number of views to each post

The majority of the time it is my goal to bring those who view my posts back to my website or blog. This allows me the opportunity to:
       • build my email list
       • increase traffic to my site
       • have my visitors go through various pages on my site therefore learning more of what I do
       • acquire more leads
