The aims of a blogger is
to build an audience and driving traffic. A successful bloggers know
they have to develop a following on key social networks as a way to promote
their brands and ultimately get more clicks.Twitter, Facebook, StumbleUpon and now Pinterest provide
the savvy blogger with plenty of opportunities to attract new readers and
engage with regulars, but it can be overwhelming if you’re new to social media
or if you only use it for fun. Here, I’am sharing 10 of tips to help bloggers navigate the
increasingly complex world of social media .
1.
Set your social media icons at the top
of your website.
Make it possible for your blog readers to connect with
various social media platforms. For this,
you should set different social media icons at the top of your website. Bonus
points if your social media icons reflect the overall design or feel of your
blog.
2.
Each of blog Sites should have its own Facebook ,Google+ Page.
Both Facebook and Google have
provided pages for creating own page for blog/website whatever you like.Even
with Google+/ Facebook’s new subscription feature, there’s still merit to
giving your blog its own space on Facebook/Google+. It’s nice to be able to
post a link every time you publish something new, and not have to worry about
annoying your friends. Plus, readers who don’t your name but know the name of
your blog can search for it on Facebook. Show your fans some love on your blog
by using the Facebook social plugin, which makes it easy to convert readers to
fans.
3.
Increase traffic with StumbleUpon.
The
StumbleUpon serves as an alternate browser where users click through
pages that their StumbleUpon friends and
StumbleUpon itself have recommended. You can submit your own blog posts into
the system, but it works best if you also share them with your StumbleUpon friends
and accept their shares back. Like most
social platforms, you need to have a strong following to get good results.
While people are still trying to figure out what makes StumbleUpon content go
viral, many bloggers have seen terrific, albeit fleeting, traffic spikes
through the service.
4.
Import RSS feed byLinkedIn profile
If your blog somewhat pertains to
your professional goals, you can be showcasing it on LinkedIn. List it as one
of your three websites in your profile, where it will be labeled “Blog.” However,
by using the Blog Link application, your most recent posts will display right
on your profile.
5.Use
Pinterest
Pinterest is the cool and moderate new kid, and all of the bloggers
are scrambling to establish a presence there. Pin your best photos onto themed
boards with links to a relevant blog post. Blogs with strong visual content,
like fashion, food, design, crafts and travel, are a natural fit. Infographics
will also do quite well. Don’t forget to add a Pinterest plugin to make it easy for your readers to share your
content on their Pinterest boards.
6.
Use link shorteners
Twitter will now shorten your link
for you, and the length of your link doesn’t matter on Facebook and Google+.
But by using a link shortener like bit.ly, you will gain access to metrics, so
you’ll know how many people clicked and at what time. With this essential data,
you can experiment with different ways to tease your content and different
times to post it.
7.
Add your blog name as your username wherever possible.
Provide your personal brand by
consistently using your blog’s name for your Twitter handle, StumbleUpon name,
Pinterest name and so on.
8.
Join blogger groups onTwitter,Google+, Facebook.
You can join blogger groups on
Twitter,Google plus,Facebook.There are some very active groups on Facebook that
are terrific resources for any blogging issues you encounter. Look for groups
like “Travel Bloggers” or “Global Bloggers Network.” WordPress geeks have
“Advanced WordPress” and Central Florida residents have “Central Florida
Bloggers.” Not only are blogger groups good for problem-solving, but it’s
well-known that bloggers like to read other blogs. Do some searching and find a
bloggers group that’s suited to you, or start your own!
9.
Be cool for other bloggers.
Be cool for other bloggers.Promote
other bloggers’ content, and hopefully they’ll return the favor. You can’t
simply blast your own content anyway — you need some variety in every social
media stream. So why not check out what your fellow bloggers are posting and
give them a retweet, a share or a repin whenever you can. And don’t forget to
reciprocate and share content from bloggers who share yours.
10.
Be on with social media
Don’t be frustrated when you feel that you’re doing everything
right and you’re still not getting many
clicks. But console yourself by thinking about all of the links that you see
throughout the day that you don’t click on. Just spending time on social media
platforms is great way to forge relationships, keep up on industry news and
find inspiration for that next blog post.
