Complimentary or Free Social Media & Blogging Tips

If you are running a blog and want it to be successful and gain more visitors, you need to be good at social marketing.

Without social marketing, you are going to struggle in generating traffic to your blog.

Here are a few free tips:

Use an interactive and popular blogging platform:

Use a blog that will offer great feature's and good page rankings.
I find blogger easiest and best although tumblr is good and as is the very popular Wordpress.

Try and set up flexible blogging or blogging on the go:

Choose a blog with good smart phone interactions. Tumblr app offers most features, then Wordpress app and blogger app offers minimal features but ok for posting on the go.

Update your blog and post on a regular basis:

To make your blog successful, one of the most important things that you need to do is to update it on a regular basis.

People these days do not like blogs that remain idle for an extended period.

They want fresh news and views on a daily basis.

If you can not maintain the interest levels of your audience, your blog is going to suffer and you are going to face plenty of problems in maintaining your web ranking.

Using social marketing tools like Facebook and Twitter:

These can allow your to inform your audience what’s in store for them in the coming days. This will create a sense of curiosity among your subscribers.

Professionalism in your Facebook and Twitter page:

To get the best out of social marketing tools like Facebook and Twitter, it is of paramount importance that you develop these pages in a professional manner.

If you treat it casually, it is not going to be of any help. Make it as interesting as you can.

You would be surprise to know that these tools generate quite a bit of blog traffic, provided you use them effectively.

Trust is one of the most important factors when it comes to generating quality traffic for your blog, so make sure that you are honest in your approach and thinking.

Use lots of the built in features of your blog site to engage with your audience:

You can do everything from linking twitter feeds, YouTube channels and video, picture feeds, contact forms , news feeds etc. get your audience to engage with you on many levels.

Use some Advertising:

An important thing you should do, is advertise your social media pages on popular websites and search engines. The main advantage is that it will have a positive impact on your Alexa page ranking and Google page ranking. With an increase in ranking, your blog is going to gain popularity and you will be able to use it for other purposes such as affiliate marketing, to sell ad space on etc.

All this will only happen when there is a jump in your traffic and the subscriber base of your blog is on the up.

Sell Some relevant advertising as your visitor numbers increase, for extra revenue sources but do not go overboard.

Use Article directories to advertise your Blog.

This will help you to get visitors and can increase page rankings.

If you are using article directories to generate traffic to your blog, make sure that your articles have links to your social media pages in addition to your blog URL. This will also help to increase traffic to your blog.

Blog Posting:

When using social media marketing for your blog, it is very important that you post in a manner that creates a good connection between you and your audience.

Write engaging, unique and interesting content.

If your content is not original, your blog is not going to be a hit.

Do not block the comment feature in your blog:

This is one of the best methods to get feedback from your audience or visitors.

Reply to every comment that is posted on your blog:

This will create a positive impression for your audience.
