2. Sometimes you come up with a great blog story. You
know it will drive you a lot of traffic but you have a
problem. None knows about your great blog post. In
order to get maximum attention you need to spread the
word around. This is where the social / bookmark
networks come handy.
4. It's a place where you can share your stories or
bookmarks with others. Take blog reporter for example.
You submit your blog story to the network, allowing
other members to vote and comment on it. More
popular stories that receive a certain number of votes
get promoted to the front page. Most social networks
are different. Some even allow you to export a large
number of bookmarks straight from your browser.
6. 1)Social networks get a lot of traffic due to their nature.
Users often return to read the latest stories and share
their own.
7. 2)Readers are usually only one click away from your
blog. A popular submission can bring you thousands of
daily visitors.
8. 3)Most social networks are free and take seconds to
register and submit your first entry.
9. 4)You will be surprised when you see the amount of
other websites that use feeds from various social
networks. A good story can spread across the network
like wild fire.
10. 5)If your story will not get to the front page you can
always submit another one. In most cases there is no
limit on the amount of stories you can submit.
11. 6)Most social networks are search engine friendly. Not
only your story will be picked up by major search
engines in no time, in most cases you will also get a
reciprocal link. Some social networks have very good
google page rank (PR)
13. 1)An interesting, catchy story is often a must. Your main
target is to get promoted to the front page by getting
enough votes. You need to convince other readers to
vote for your story. Strange, shocking and controversial
stories often do well.
14. 2)You can always ask your friends to join and vote for
you in order to get more votes. Don't create fake
accounts because you will simply get banned.
15. 3)The more stories you submit the better. If you want a
steady flow of traffic you will need a steady flow of
submissions.
16. 4)Just enjoy your experience. I certainly find it more
interesting compared to other methods of blog
promotion, such as link development.
17. There are a lot of various social networks around. Simple
search on google should do the trick. I personally
recommend blog reporter because it is the first personal
publishing network designed especially for blogs.
