So, today is Social Sunday. The time when we chat about social media, website, blogs and anything having to do with the WWW.
A LOT of time can be spent, err… wasted….on social media.One of the biggest (legitimate) time suckers is populating all of your social media sites with your latest blog post. You SHOULD be posting on a regular basis. I post at least daily and sometimes more than that. Probably overkill, but this is a new site, so I want to get it established. After a while, I’ll slow down a bit.
Anyway – after you write and publish a blog post, you need to link to it from all of your social media websites. You need to put your material under the noses of your targeted audience. You just can’t wait for them to remember that they have a link to your blog in their bookmarks and go there. Not gonna happen.
So – you must link, link, link. And that’s one of those boring repetitive jobs that you wish there was a Photoshop action for. Well, there is. Kinda sorta.
Introducing Networked Blogs. I discovered this on Facebook.
Go to THIS LINK to register your blog. it’s FREE!
After you add your blog, then you’ll need to syndicate it – basically, you tell Networked Blogs everywhere you would like updated with a link to your blog posts. So far, you can add Twitter accounts and Facebook Groups and Pages. As you can see below – I have the Wootness Twitter account updated as well as my personal Facebook page, my business page and the Wootness page. This should at least save you some of the drudgework.
I don’t have a blog yet. I’ve been wondering what I’m supposed to do with a blog that I don’t already do with facebook. I don’t think I’m especially great with words and what do you talk about on a blog???
