Pushing your content socially

Creating quality content and uploading to your web-page is just the start to ensuring that your prospect has a reason to scour your site. However, driving organic traffic to a blog post upon a web-page is tricky.

Using social media to promote traffic to your page is a fantastic way of introducing your articles/blogs/content to your network, whether that be a big or small following, consistency and quality will grow both your network and traffic to your site.

Get your blog ranked to number one! There is no point writing a terrific piece of work if no one will get the chance to see it never mind reading it. Therefore, to ensure your journal is seen, working on your SEO (search engine optimisation) will increase the chances of ranking highly due to Google’s algorithm and Pagerank.

Reach a wider audience

Incorporating blogs on your business’ social networks allows for the opportunity for more people to come across it. Not only will all the company’s network see it but if they like, comment and share the post, it will appear on their network’s feed too, ultimately doubling the post’s potential reach.

Now that you know the importance of sharing your blogs on social media, here are some key tips on how to make your journals stand out on social:

Catchy titles/descriptions – grab the reader’s attention, I’m sure you’ve heard this phrase before but it’s true! A captivating heading draws people in and entices them to continue reading. The same goes for the text on social blog posts, the descriptions needs to be short, informative and engaging.
Intriguing images – similarly, a picture needs to catch the audience’s attention, so they’ll stop and read the blog. Visuals are a great way to promote a blog.
Savvy social buttons (picture of the buttons) – giving readers direct access to share your content on all social media platforms with ease, from just the click of a button. It really is that simple!
Involve industry influencers – Join social groups and follow popular bloggers in your niche. Like, comment, retweet and share their journals and in return they may reciprocate the favour, exposing your blog to a wider audience.
