There are a lot of things that go into the success of your blog, be it the quality of the content you write, the ability to offer value that’s not found elsewhere, and even the aesthetic of the blog. However, when you have the opportunity to reach an audience with your thoughts, you should always be looking at ways to maximize your reach and hit those that you’re most likely to connect with. Social media is one of the most important modern tools for doing just that. Here, we’re going to look at how to make the best use of it that you can.
Make sure that you can share your posts
We live in a world of shareability. When people see something online that they like or identify with or find important, then they want to share it with those that they consider their peers. It’s a good way to validate their own opinions and thoughts, start conversations, and feel seen. As such, you should make sure that you offer them the opportunity to do that by making your content shareable in the first place. This means adding social media buttons to your blog pages. Many blog-creation platforms, including CMSes like WordPress, have plugins that can allow you to install these social media buttons with very little fuss.
Reach whole new audiences
One of the big benefits of social media is that it allows you to tap into some of the largest pools of readers that have yet to come across your content, meaning constant opportunities to grow your readership. If you want to reach the right people, of course, you have to learn how to play the game, which means things like knowing which hashtags to use when promoting your posts, posting in groups that are relevant to your niche, and even sometimes a little paid promotion to make sure that your posts more effectively hit their target audience. Of course, this all has to be supported by great and worthwhile content, otherwise, you might end up getting some clicks, but you’re not going to be able to retain your new readership for very long after that.
Set the bait and reel them in
Social media largely works as a part of the marketing funnel for many bloggers who use it. It’s a stepping stone to get them engaging with your content, and one of the best ways to do that is to find your most intriguing, useful, or surprising content and repurpose it. If you can narrow it down to just the most intriguing snippet, you can use it to catch their interest on social media, bringing them in further. You have to be careful, however. People are getting used to clickbait strategies, and if they feel there’s no value behind an intriguing headline, they’re not as likely to click it. If you do rely on clickbait titles without interesting content to back them up, you’re more likely to lose readers in the long term, even if you get clicks in the short term. You have to make sure that the content is worth reading.
Work closer with your brands
If, like a lot of bloggers, you write in partnership with brands, then you could benefit from the reach that the brand has to offer you. Brands offer blogging opportunities to writers to gain access to their audience, as well as to the general goodwill that a positive review or piece of coverage can offer their own aims. However, this relationship can go both ways, as well. You might be partnering with brands that have a sizeable reach of their own, and cross-promotion from them through social media can help boost your platform. If it’s a good brand partnership, then their audience is already likely to be relevant to your content and, as such, more likely to become routine readers of it.
Build on your sense of community
While you might think that, as a blogger, you’re primarily selling the quality of the content that you have to offer, that’s not all that readers might be taking away from the exchange. Readers can develop attachments with the writers of the blog posts that they’re such fans of, not to mention the websites themselves, and can begin to feel like a part of the community, especially if there is back-and-forth interaction or interaction between different readers. Building this sense of community on social media can boost your visibility even further while fostering that sense of community that can turn interested readers into loyal supporters.
Connect with others just like you
When you’re blogging in a particular niche or field, it can be tempting to see others doing the same thing as your competition. Sometimes, it’s not unhealthy to look at others who are doing well and for a sense of competition or even envy to drive your own productivity. But you can still have positive relationships with the people that you see as rivals. Building community with them, working together, or even just giving them a signal boost on social media can help you build connections that can lead to all sorts of future benefits.
Make your content evergreen
Do you have some pieces of content that are particularly popular or even retain a decent rate of new clicks as they get older? There’s a good chance that this content is evergreen, meaning that it can be made relevant and re-used again. You can even repurpose your content specifically for social media. For instance, if you have a piece of content that relies on a lot of stats to convey its relevant information, then you can use sites to turn it into an infographic, converting it into a visual format that tends to perform better on social media than just posting text alone. Look at ways to convert other content of yours into formats that work best for social media, especially in an image or video form.
With the tips above, you can ensure that social media works in your favor, greatly increasing your chances of finding your audience and making the best of a blogging opportunity.
