How do you advertise your blog online? Is it through social media? But how do you use social media to your blog’s advantage?
Today, social media is the most explored platform. Everybody is on the social networking websites. Bloggers mostly use social media as a strategy to market their blog. But the question is how do you use it in a way that the blog attracts more and more users? You need to have good content. The more people like your content, the more opportunities you will have to expand your audience. Each time your audience interacts with you, it gives you an opportunity to increase your social visibility.
But the question, I repeat, is, “How do you leverage social media to your advantage?”
We here at ShoutMeLoud will help you to get answers to all your queries. And that is why on last week’s #ShoutersChat we discussed ‘How to leverage social media to build an audience’.
We discussed everything from the ideal number to posts on social media to the favorite social media platform of bloggers. We also talked about the traffic generated through social media and the various goals of bloggers related to social media in 2018.
Here is a recap of each question and the top answers by Shouters.
Q1. What is your social media? Why?
From the Shouter’s community:
#ShoutersChat A1: List is long, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest & LinkedIn. Facebook, because of my family, and most of my friends are there. I use @Pinterest @instagram because I love visuals. @Twitter @LinkedIn to connect with business friends and like-minded people.
