Are you struggling to get readers to your blog…and wondering “how to market your blog” to get eyeballs to your content?!? You’re probably aware that blogging alone will not make you money in your business. Yes, blog marketing is a proven strategy that will generate qualified leads and create sales…however, in order to convert those leads and sales, you have to get your target audience looking at your stuff. So its important to have a blog syndication strategy that promotes your content and puts it in front of people who are already interested in your topics. This is how you WIN in blogging: Know your target market, their pains, problems, & interests Create valuable content that speaks to your market on a proven blogging platform like the one you’re on Have a killer syndication strategy that gets your content in front of them (what you will learn here now) Generate qualified leads daily from your visitors (which are people within your target market) I’m going to show you how to market your blog so you can have a concrete strategy to implement every time you create content!
#1 Social Buzz Club – FREE (for Basic Membership) An awesome group of bloggers showing each other love by sharing members content with their social networks. Based on a points system, everyone collaborates to share your posts that could easily go viral through Facebook, Twitter, and/or LinkedIn. Leverage authority-figure networks and those within your niche using Social Buzz. Additionally, you can take advantage of their cool weekly webinar trainings where they invite masters to share what’s working now in Internet marketing! Definitely a win-win and super easy to use.
#2 Onlywire – $10/month I love Onlywire…in literally 2 minutes, I can have my blog post shared to over 28 social networking and bookmarking sites at the click of a mouse. Additionally, it will automatically syndicate your recent blog entry so you don’t have to. Here’s how to market your blog with Onlywire illustrated in the video below! By the way, this is the #1 tool in my belt that generates the most new traffic for me!
#3 Socialoomph – FREE (for Basic Membership) I use this tool primarily to promote my post on Twitter. You see, just posting your blog link once a Twitter will not yield the results you’re looking for. You may have to tweet several times throughout the day depending on when your market is most on the site. Personally, I tweet my blog link six times. The beauty about Socialoomph is that you can schedule your tweets in advance to go out during those desired times. In fact, check out this cool infographic (originally from QuickSprouts but elegantly put together by Louise M) to knowing when’s the best time to post on Twitter!
#4 Pingler – FREE Imagine, having over 80+ sites notified of your recent blog post…and it only takes you less than 30 seconds to let them know! That’s what this cool service called Pingler does for you! This free tool pings your blog URL to blogging sites, alerting them of your entry, and driving traffic for you. Here’s a more detailed video I did which shows you how to use this tool…yet its relatively simple and self-explanatory!
#5 Targeted Facebook Groups – FREE Posting your blog link in hundreds of Facebook group works, yet, it is a tedious and time consuming task. And for the most part, the vast majority of these groups are “hit and runs”…meaning, people just post their link then leave. There’s hardly no engagement, no interaction, and rarely any comments or responses to these ads. Discovering how to market your blog using social media like Facebook isn’t hard. From my experience, sharing my blog post in highly targeted groups that consists of my target market has yielded quality leads and created great networking relationships! And frankly, that’s from about 5 groups for me. But I’ve found it to be more effective to post in 5 targeted groups where there is engagement (and people are responding, clicking on and liking my link) than to post to 100 groups and get a total of 10 clicks!!! So, find those groups that are live and jumping with your target market. Post there. You will find people inbox you personally for more information and to genuinely connect with you.
#6 Google Webmaster – FREE The final way in knowing how to market your blog is to get it indexed with the search engines, particularly Google! You can manually add your blog post URL to the Google index without waiting for them to do it for you. By adding it yourself, you can index it quickly so that folks can find your content from the search. What does it mean to index and what is the process involved?!? I won’t go into that here but you can check out this article that will break it down. The main takeaway here is that you want to go to Google Webmaster, register your blog at their site, then crawl your post URL for each blog entry.
There you go…now you have a solid plan on how to market your blog to get viewers to your content. If you have a favorite tool that you use to syndicate your blog post, please share it in the comments below. Sharing is caring!!
