There are many tasks that ensure a blog post will do its job of effectively attracting new customers for your business. Luckily you don’t have to do them all yourself. If you’re put off by all the technical tasks involved in getting a blog post published to your website and promoted on social media, Linda Dessau of Content Mastery Guide offers a list of business blogging tasks you can outsource to someone else.
3. Photos add visual interest
to the page, draw in your
readers, and convey the
meaning of your message
in another way.

4. Resizing files to fit your
blog template and design,
and adding relevant
keywords to the file name.
These little details make a
big difference.

#3.Formatting PHOTO
FILES
5. Adding bold or italics for
emphasis and headings;
creating bullet/number
lists; photo placement and
alt text; filling in excerpt
text and SEO details.
Missing any of these
steps can affect how your
post looks and performs.

6. #5.Getting Noticed
Blog post titles aren’t
enough to tempt someone
to click on a link on social
media.
Switch it up with questions,
quotes from the post, or a
particular benefit someone
will get from reading your
post.

7. Scheduling several notices
about every new post,
to increase its chance of
being seen.
After all, your social media
followers are not glued to
their computer screens or
phones, waiting for your
news.
#6.SHARING Enough

8. When you promote your
posts, you’ll want to
highlight and give credit to
anyone you’ve mentioned
in the post.
This kind of link love helps
build your relationships,
but finding those links
takes time.
#7.Giving SHOUTOUTS
9. Unanswered comments
send the message that
your blog and your blog
readers are not important
to you.
#8.MONITORING BLOG
COMMENTS
10. It’s important to show
that you appreciate any
endorsements of your
posts, so be sure someone
is watching for likes, shares
and comments on social
media.

MEDIA ACTIVITY

11. Guests can infuse your
blog with a variety of
voices and perspectives
that complement and
build on the scope of your
expertise.
#10.HANDLING GUEST
CONTRIBUTIONS
12. Just as photos add visual
interest, other media types
can create additional
layers of engagement.
You’ll want to make the
most of the social sharing
and SEO features available
for each format.
#11.MANAGING
MULTIMEDIA
13. For some people, turning
your ideas and your
customers’ biggest
questions into polished
written content is the most
tedious part of blogging.
You can use audio, video
or graphics (your own or
others), but you’ll still want
to add at least 250-300
words of original text.http://www.flickr.com/photos/akaitori/2872041315/
