2. Profession!al blogger, fly by night author, or any other
type of writer; sometimes you are stuck for ideas (or
opinions). Social media can help you out with that...

3. Step 1
Remember, you are a
member of an
unbelievably large
network. Any social
media that you
subscribe to allows
you to 'reach out and
touch' people you don't
even know. You can
ask for ideas,
thoughts, and
opinions, and are
pretty sure to get them.

4. Step 2
!
Use the social
media by
becoming part
of something
bigger. This will
give you plenty
of fodder for
topics and
writing

5. Step 3
!
Keep it short
and concise. At
least the title.
Use it for
grabbing interest.
A lot of the social
media limits what
you can put in all
at once, so that
helps you keep it
short.

6. Step 4
!
Use it to drive
traffic to your
site. Use your
skill with interest
grabbing titles
and 'tweet' it, or
'like' it, or
whatever else
you like.

7. Step 5
!
Grab
inspiration
from it. There
is lots of
software out
there that will
allow you to
keep current in
a banner.

8. Step 6
!
Improve your
vocabulary with
it. Watch your
contributions from
others and your
vocabulary will
improve. Look up
those words you
are unsure about

9. Step 7
Find other bloggers.
Use your social
media network to find
other bloggers.
Become part of their
network and learn
from them!

10. Step 8
!
Practice
writing
headline
titles. Think
two or three
times before
hitting the
enter key.

11. Step 9
Use your
network to ask
for help. Ask
for topic ideas,
for ways to flesh
out an existing
article, etc.

12. Step 10
!
Use the social
media to get
feedback.
There are a lot
of people out
there with
something to
say, so
encourage
them to say it!

13. Step 11
Market yourself.
Get the word out.
Good work
speaks for itself,
but social media
helps you to get
others to find it!

14. Step 12
Use it to battle
those writer's
block! Having
trouble coming up
with something to
write
about...cruise the
social media and
check out
trending topics!

15. Step 13
Update your
blogs. Use the
social media to
'keep you honest'.
If you have an
audience, you are
more likely to keep
everything current.

16. Step 14
Proofread. Knowing
that you are liable to
get a lot of views
quicker should give
you that extra
encouragement to
make sure your I's
are dotted and your
T's are crossed!
