We know that putting together a blog post is an epic accomplishment! So why not reap the rewards of your hard work by setting up a system that gets you a return on your effort, even after you hit “post”? Social Media websites can drive insanely great traffic to your blog if you have a good social media marketing strategy. Social media traffic is as important as organic traffic from search engines, and we can’t rely on Google alone. It means that we must diversify the way we get traffic.
Sharing your posts on social media gives you real time feedback of how followers are interacting with your content. Though the traffic quality of social media can’t be matched with that of organic traffic, it is still important. In this post, we have gathered over 100 ways you can promote your content after you post, including a checklist with the Top 38 Social Networks.
Let’s go over some of the major players here:
Top Social Networks
Facebook has not only transformed the way people the world over connect, communicate and share ideas, pictures, videos and news, it’s made it possible for businesses to get their products across to a mass audience in a sensational win-win manner. With over a billion active users it’s the largest social networking website. Leverage your Facebook friends and share your blog posts regularly with your Facebook friends and fan base.
Instagram is not only the hottest photo sharing website but it’s good to promote your brand as well. Sign up for an account, add your link in bio, post pictures & videos, and start following people. But make sure that you’re posting only relevant pictures and videos. Visit our entire Education Library of Instagram tips.
LinkedIn is web’s favorite professional networking website with over 100 million active users. LinkedIn’s traffic quality is better than that of Facebook and Twitter as it is mostly used by professionals who are looking for job or business opportunities.
Pinterest is the biggest thing that happened to social media after Twitter. According to a TechCrunch article Pinterest drives more traffic than Google+, YouTube and LinkedIn combined. If your blog posts have quality images then you shouldn’t ignore Pinterest. Just pin those images to Pinterest under the right category and it can send quality traffic to you as Pinterest users are known to spend more money than Facebook or Twitter.
Reddit succeeded where Digg failed. It’s not the Facebook or a Twitter that killed Digg, Reddit killed Digg. If you write content that’s viral in nature then Reddit can send you instant massive traffic. Just make sure that you use social media timing signals to share the right content at the right time.
Tumblr
Tumblr is a micro-blogging platform by Yahoo where you can share anything (from anywhere!).
Twitter is the second most popular social network (microblogging platform, to be more specific). If our content is viral in nature then it can bring instant massive traffic to our blog/website in no time.
YouTube
YouTube is the web’s largest and most favorite video sharing website. You can share your videos with over 800 million YouTube users a month. You can host your how-to videos on YouTube with a backlink to your website so that people would visit your website for additional insights whenever they watch your video.
…and those are just the top 8. Here we have compiled a checklist of the top 38 social networks to promote your blog posts on, including the ones listed above!

Best Blogger Outlets
ShopStyle or RewardStyle
If you monetize your blog through RewardStyle or ShopStyle, make sure to publish your content in their app (i.e. LIKEtoKNOW.it). This is another way for your to gain more exposure, get new followers, and increase your influence. Plus, post your content multiple times using different photos in these outlets!
Share your post with the SC Link Love group
The goal of the group is to give and receive blog comments. Rule of thumb: don’t drop a link without leaving comments on others links. Please don’t stand up your SC sisters! Here is how to participate in this group: 1. Share a link to your blog post. 2. Comment on the 5 links BELOW/AFTER your post on the group wall. 3. Please make sure comments are thoughtful and relevant.
Share your posts with your SC DM on Instagram
If you are in a message group with other influencers or bloggers on Instagram, share with one another! This isn’t a permanent solution, but it sure is great to make connections with others and build mutual relationships. You never know when you might have a question they can answer about blogging, or give you the email address for a contact at the brand you have been dying to work with. It’s a win-win.
